American men’s tennis continues to grow his momentum. After landing two men in the quarter-finals in Roland-Garros for the first time since 1996, US men now have three players ranked within the top 10 for the first time since 2006.
thrust Ben Sheltonwho reached the semifinals last week in Stuttgart and enters Top-10 for the first time in Monday’s ATP ranking.
Shelton, 22, is the first American man born in the 2000s to reach feat.
Shelton is joined by Taylor Fritz, who returns to no.4 after winning the title Stuttgart, and Tommy Paul, who is at no.8, thanks to his quarter-finals in Roland-Garros.
The last time three American men held the top 10 at the same time was April 17, 2006, when Andy Roddick was no. 4, James Blake was no. 7 and Andre Agassi was no. 10.
Shelton is the fourth ATP player and the second American, along with Paul-to make his Top-10 debut in 2024. The other two players are Jack Draper and Lorenzo Musetti.
DIALO CLOS Top-50
Gabriel Diallo of Canada, 23, is the best crack at no.44 thanks to his title in ‘S-Hertogenbosch. Diallo only became the second Canadian to win a Grass court title on Sunday, and the first since Greg Ruseseki in 1993.
Italy’s Flavio Cobolli also bursts a high career at no.24.
Zizou Bergs (+14 in No.49) and Reilly Opelka (+12 to No.75) were also among the big risers in this week’s ATP rankings. Opelka has grown over 200 points since January. He played Brisbane at no. 293 this year.
Bergs, who lost in Dialo in the final of ‘S-Hertogenbosh, has returned to his high career.
