The ATP season ended with the conclusion of the ATP Finals and this leaves us ready for the Top 10 of what this great year 2021 has been, which has had practically everything and where there are several newcomers, who did not know what it was like to step on this select group in their careers. We discover how the Top 10 is in full within the Ranking ATP.
Top 10 ATP of the 2021 season:
-Novak Djokovic: The Serbian, who even saw his number 1 in jeopardy at the end of this year (we remember that only for number 1, the ATP took the Race, and there Medvedev was very close), finished with almost 3,000 points of difference over Daniil, getting three of the big four in a spectacular year. It is going to cost someone to lower him from that position, even in the first half of 2022.
-Daniil Medvedev: Impressive year of the Russian, winning in New York and with some other great title behind him. It is true that the year has ended a bit with his tongue hanging out and with the occasional physical discomfort, but to this day, he is the biggest rival that Nole has in the Slams.
-Alexander Zverev: Year of tremendous growth for the German, who may have had his best season. Winning 31 of the last 35 games he has played on the circuit, Sascha’s end of the year has been brutal. We will have to take him into account for the Slams in 2022 and see if he can finally place himself as number 2 in the world, since he has never set foot.
-Stefanos Tsitsipas: The Greek’s first half was absolutely brilliant, having come just one set away from winning at Roland Garros. Since then, a brutal fall in his state of confidence, aggravated by an elbow problem, which we have learned today that he could even have to undergo surgery. A year, therefore, with a bittersweet taste for him.
-Andrey Rublev: Once again, the Russian has been a man very feared by his rivals in certain phases of the season, but he continues to be asked for something more in the big tournaments, where he does not finish breaking the quarter-final barrier. We’ll see if 2022 is when he takes that little step forward.
-Rafael Nadal: A shame that foot injury, because Nadal’s year was really good. We have not been able to enjoy Spanish in the second half of the season, but even missing almost six months of competition, it is still in the Top 10 and in a very good position. He is expected to return in January, already recovered from that foot problem.
-Matteo Berrettini: The Italian stepped on a Grand Slam final for the first time and has been a real stone in the shoe for the top in these tournaments or also in the Masters 1000. His physical problems have weighed him down in certain phases, such as in that Wimbledon final or in the ATP Finals, where he had to retire. Hopefully with the injuries, his growth to be homeless yet.
-Casper Ruud: It was said of him that he was only a clay court player and this year he has shown that he also knows how to play hard. And a lot. Semifinalist in Turin, which allows him to settle within the Top 10 and make his debut in this very select group. About to turn 23, the Norwegian still has a lot to grow and improve.
-Hubert Hurkacz: The big surprise, without a doubt, this year within the Top 10. Almost nobody expected to see the Pole here, who with several great tournaments such as Miami or Wimbledon, has added a good number of points to break the Top 10 barrier. the most difficult thing remains, staying.
-Jannik Sinner: The Italian, at 20 years old, is the youngest of all the members of the Top 10 and he did so thanks to the 200 points of the Round Robin match that he could win in Turin, causing Aliassime to be left out at the last minute. Due to its age, quality and potential, this tenth position will surely leave it far behind with the passage of months and / or years.
