The wait is almost over. After a few weeks of break, tennis is soon returning with the start of the 2026 season.

Following the Next Gen ATP Finals in mid-December, ATP tour players will meet in Asia and Oceania to kick off the new year. During the first week of the calendar, there will be tournaments in Hong Kong and Brisbane, as well as the United Cup.

Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic Resting Before the Australian Open

To get oriented just days before the resumption, journalist José Morgado provided an update on the top 30 players. Thus, seven players currently in the top thirty of the rankings will not be competing in the first week of January, including Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Ben Shelton.

Currently ranked 15th, Holger Rune is of course still in rehabilitation after a complete Achilles tendon rupture. Lorenzo Musetti will be the only top 10 player present in Hong Kong, while Daniil Medvedev, Tommy Paul, Denis Shapovalov, and João Fonseca will all be in Brisbane.

The only French player in the top 30, Arthur Rinderknech, will represent his country at the United Cup. Find the complete list of the first tournaments played by the world's best players below.
