Carlos Alcaraz Reaches 100th Consecutive Week in ATP Top 5

Carlos Alcaraz, the 21-year-old Spanish tennis sensation, has achieved another milestone in his remarkable career. This week marks his 100th consecutive week in the Top 5 of the ATP rankings, a feat he has accomplished since breaking into the elite on July 25th, 2022.

Alcaraz's rise to the top has been meteoric. After reaching the final of the Hamburg clay-court event in 2022, he ascended to No. 5 in the rankings. Since then, he has remained in the Top 5, including spending 36 weeks as the world No. 1.

Currently ranked No. 2 behind Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz has won three Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces: the US Open in 2022, Wimbledon in 2023, and Roland Garros in 2023. This makes him the youngest man ever to achieve this feat.

Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur of Australia has also made significant progress in the rankings. After winning the grass-court event in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, he has risen to a new career-high of No. 7. This makes him the seventh-highest-ranked Australian player in ATP history.

Other notable movers in the rankings include Jack Draper of Britain, who won his first ATP title in Stuttgart and climbed from No. 40 to No. 31, and Matteo Berrettini of Italy, who jumped from No. 95 to No. 65 after reaching his second final in three tournaments.

On the WTA side, Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic has made her Top 30 debut, rising from No. 31 to No. 30. She recently won her eighth Grand Slam doubles title at Roland Garros alongside American Coco Gauff.
