Best tennis player of 2021? It’s not Djokovic or Nadal

The tennis season is slowly entering its second half. Even so, it is already becoming clear who could be featured at the Tournament of Champions, which will be hosted by Turin. Who is the most successful tennis player so far in 2021?

The best tennis player since January 2021 is Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Athens native has won an incredible 35 matches, to which he has added eight losses. The Greek has dominated both Monte Carlo and Lyon, earning 3,370 points.

Novak Djokovic is second on the list. One of the greatest tennis legends has scored 3,180 points in the current year, which is mainly due to his triumph at the Australian Open.

The third place is currently defended by the twenty-three-year-old Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev. The Moscow-born player was especially successful during the part of the season played on hard surfaces, where he managed to win twenty matches. He has 2,770 points to his credit.

Rafael Nadal is currently ranked sixth. However, he is only 30 points away from fourth place, where Alexander Zverev is. The Spanish player can be expected to rise, as he is the biggest favourite for the French Open.

From the current circumstances, Hubert Hurkacz would also be looking at the Tournament of Champions. The tennis player with Polish roots has earned 1,470 points in the current year and is ranked eighth. His greatest achievement is his triumph in Miami.

The best tennis player from the Czech Republic is only 20-year-old Tomáš Macháč. He made his first ever appearance at a grand slam, to which he added a challenger victory in Kazakhstan. With 213 points, he is ranked 93rd.
