The Shanghai Masters started only yesterday, while last week two more male players born after 2000 won ATP singles titles. What shifts have happened in the 2000s-born players' championship rankings? Let's see:
24 - Alcaraz
21 - Sinner
The clear leaders continue to be the twin stars Alcaraz and Sinner, who in recent years have taken multiple titles with a commanding style, including winning four Grand Slam tournaments consecutively over two years.


An even more striking statistic shows that in over 20 tournaments both participated in together, only last year's Madrid Masters was not won by either (Rublev took that title); all other events were dominated by these two.
7 - Aliassime, Baez
Tied for third place are Aliassime and Baez, who climbed to this position thanks to their performances earlier this year on European hard courts and South American clay tournaments.

5 - Rune
Once considered the third star who claimed to rival Alcaraz and Sinner as a top trio, Rune has only won five titles, with a quality level noticeably lower than the two, having secured just one Masters championship.
4 - Darderi
3 - Fils, Draper, Shelton
2 - Musetti, Korda, Pericard, Lehecka, Kobori
Darderi’s surprising ranking with four titles shows the Italian youngster has performed well this year, winning multiple tournaments consecutively.
Among others, many have shown strong recent form; Draper and Shelton both became new Masters champions this year; if Fils had not been hampered by injury after the French Open, his strong momentum might have led to greater achievements.


The Italian Musetti, who was heavily booed by fans at the China Open due to personal reasons, has reached several tour finals in recent years but still lacks a title.
Korda finally claimed a title at last year’s Washington event, but since then has struggled with injuries and his progress has been disappointing. Once hailed as a super talented second-generation star, he has now fallen out of the top 100.


1 - Wild, J. Cerundolo, Brandon Nakashima, Diaz Acosta, Shang Juncheng, Fonseca, Mahachi, Menchik, Brooksby, Diallo
Many players have won at least one title; this year alone Menchik, Diano, Fonseca, and Mahachi all tasted victory for the first time. Among them, Menchik’s first career title was a Masters event, standing out among his peers. His compatriot Mahachi’s first title was a 500-level tournament, also an impressive feat.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Chengqiye)
