An Unchanged ATP Top 3 All Season, a Feat Unseen Since Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic
Throughout the season, the ATP rankings podium remained unchanged. Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev continuously occupied the top three positions in the world, with no other player managing to compete with them.
A First in 17 Years
Such stability had not been seen since 2008, when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were battling for the world No. 1 spot, while Novak Djokovic established himself as the third force on the tour.
As the 2026 season dawns, Zverev's position could be weakened if he underperforms at the Australian Open.
