Milan, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – The week of the Paris Masters 1000 has left the ATP rankings largely unchanged. Alexander Zverev is, and will remain until the end of the season, world number 1 ahead of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who triumphed in the Paris final against Ben Shelton, ranked number 4. Flavio Cobolli remains Italy’s number 2, in sixth place, behind Daniil Medvedev. The only change in the Top 10 is Taylor Fritz overtaking Rafa Jodar. The American, who reached the quarter-finals at the season’s final Masters 1000 event, is world number 10 and will be competing in Stockholm this week. Jodar will have the chance at the Nitto ATP Finals to return to the Top 10 and become the player with the lowest ranking at the start of the season to finish the year in the Top 10. As for the other Italian players, behind Sinner and Cobolli we find Luciano Darderi and Lorenzo Musetti, who will be in action this week in Stockholm for the first time in his career. Following his victory over Zverev in Paris, he will make his debut directly in the second round against either Toby Samuel or Leo Borg, son of Swedish icon Björn. Alongside Darderi and Musetti, Matteo Arnaldi and Matteo Berrettini remain stable in the Top 50. Mattia Bellucci, meanwhile, has reached a new career-high ranking (No. 62, +6).
