An incredible statistic makes all tennis insiders and fans think: 8 tennis players in the top 50 of the ATP ranking - despite a very respectable important ranking - have never won a title during their professional career on the ATP Tour. 8 tennis players who have not yet experienced the joy of winning a trophy, after a great week.
The first in this ranking, for the position obtained after a positive 2024, is Tomas Machac: the Czech reached the first semifinal at the Shanghai Rolex Masters, after also beating Carlos Alcaraz (who eliminated him Jannik Sinner), as well as the fourth round at the US Open.
Matteo Arnaldi, semifinalist in the Canadian Open ATP Masters 1000, and Flabio Cobolli, who lost the final in Washington against Sebastian Korda.
Even the 39th in the world Tomas Martin Etcheverry, who surprised everyone in China in the match against the number 1, will try to unlock himself next season. Just as the very young 20-year-old Alex Michelsen - who finished at number 42 in the ranking, in 2024 - could have his chance: two finals not exploited by the American, who could further grow and improve his personal ranking.
Despite the good performances shown on the Tour, the Chinese Zhizhen Zhang is among the players in the top 50 without winning titles. Closing this list is the Argentine Mariano Navone, a nice surprise last year especially on clay, and the Czech Jacub Mensik, a talent to watch very closely.

For the Next Gen of the Czech Republic, the one against Grigor Dimitrov in Shanghai was the fourth victory of the year against tennis players in the top 10. In fact, it is the second victory against the Bulgarian, to which are added the two successes against Andrey Rublev in Doha and in the second round of the same Chinese tournament currently underway.
Mensik became only the sixth under-21 since 2000 to obtain this number of consecutive victories against tennis players ranked in the top 10. Before him, only Lleyton Hewitt, Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune had achieved this feat. A result that highlights the qualities of the young Czech, who could soon make the definitive leap in quality towards the top of world tennis.
All these tennis players will have the goal of triumphing in an event of the major circuit in the 2025 season now approaching, in addition to remaining in these areas of the ranking.
