Alejandro Davidovich Fokina stands among the most notable active players without an ATP singles title after a narrow loss to Alex de Minaur at the Citi DC Open. This status puts him at the forefront of a distinguished group of seven accomplished players who have yet to capture an ATP Tour title despite strong performances.

Fabian Marozsan, ranked 56th and 25 years old, has yet to reach an ATP final but made quarter-finals in Masters events in Shanghai (2023) and Miami (2024). He boasts six top-10 wins, highlighted by his upset of Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Italian Open, and reached a career-high ranking of 36th in May 2024.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry is a three-time ATP 250 finalist, all on clay. The Argentine narrowly missed victory in several finals including a 2023 Chile Open loss after holding match point. His best run in a Grand Slam was a quarter-final appearance at the 2023 French Open. He achieved a career peak ranking of 27th in February 2024.

Matteo Arnaldi, ranked 43rd with a career-high of 30th (August 2024), has made impressive deep runs at Masters 1000 tournaments, including a semi-final at the 2024 Canadian Open and a quarter-final in Madrid in 2025. He has five top-10 wins, including a notable upset over Novak Djokovic in Madrid earlier this year.

American Alex Michelsen, aged 20, reached a career-high ranking of 30th in July 2025. Despite losing three ATP 250 finals in the U.S., he showed promise with a fourth-round appearance at the 2025 Australian Open. His finals losses include Newport (twice) and Winston Salem.

Botic van de Zandschulp, currently ranked 86th but once as high as 22nd (August 2022), was twice a finalist at the Munich clay-court 250 event. Both times he faced Holger Rune, suffering a retirement when leading, and then a tough loss after multiple championship points in 2023. He has eight career top-10 wins and notable Grand Slam runs including the 2021 US Open quarter-final.

Hyeon Chung’s career has been hampered by injuries, but he remains a respected competitor, ranked 364th in 2025. The South Korean made a semi-final at the 2018 Australian Open and boasts nine ATP Challenger titles but has not yet reached an ATP Tour final. He peaked at 19th in April 2018.

Davidovich Fokina is unique in being the only player inside the ATP top 32 without a title. The 26-year-old has been runner-up four times — including the 2022 Monte Carlo Masters and three finals in 2025. Several losses involved holding championship points and leads that slipped away. His career-best ranking is 19th, and his top Grand Slam showing was the 2021 French Open quarter-final. He has also defeated Novak Djokovic and other top-10 players multiple times.

The latest ATP rankings reveal significant shifts following a busy week of competition across multiple tournaments. The standout event was the ATP 500 Citi DC Open in Washington, where Alex de Minaur staged a remarkable comeback. Facing Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in a gripping final, de Minaur rallied from 2-5 down in the third set and saved three championship points to secure victory 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(3).

This triumph has propelled the Australian from 13th to 8th in the ATP rankings, marking a return to the top 10. For Davidovich Fokina, the defeat marked his fourth final loss on the ATP Tour, maintaining a 0-4 record in title matches despite reaching match points previously in February’s Delray Beach final. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old Spaniard climbed seven spots to a career-high 19th after notable wins against Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

Shelton, the 22-year-old American, moved from 8th to 7th, securing a new career-best ranking buoyed by his run to the semifinals. Similarly, Corentin Moutet, entering Washington as a lucky loser, surged from 59th to 46th after also reaching the semifinal stage, underscoring his recent strong form.

Lorenzo Musetti slipped three places from 7th to 10th, following a first-round exit in Washington, while Francisco Cerundolo, last year’s Umag champion, dropped out of the top 20 to 24th after an early loss defending his title.

Italian Luciano Darderi enjoyed a significant rise thanks to his title wins in Umag and the Swedish Open, jumping 11 places to world No. 35. Carlos Taberner, defeated by Darderi in the Umag final, also improved substantially, climbing 27 spots to a career-high 84th.

Alexander Bublik captured back-to-back clay court titles by winning in Kitzbuhel, moving from 30th to 25th, while finalist Arthur Cazaux advanced 25 places after reaching his maiden final. Conversely, Matteo Berrettini fell 15 spots to 57th due to an injury that prevented him from defending his Kitzbuhel crown.

The top 10 standings remain led by Jannik Sinner with 12,030 points, followed by Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev. Ben Shelton and Alex de Minaur are among those making ascending moves, emphasizing an evolving competitive landscape in men’s tennis.

In men’s tennis during the Open Era, six players have achieved remarkable Grand Slam winning streaks of at least 25 matches, with Novak Djokovic holding the record at 30 consecutive victories. Djokovic’s streak, spanning 2015 to 2016, began at Wimbledon 2015 and included wins over Philipp Kohlschreiber, Jarkko Nieminen, Bernard Tomic, Kevin Anderson, Marin Cilic, Richard Gasquet, and Roger Federer. He continued this form by claiming the 2015 US Open and the 2016 Australian Open titles, beating top players like Feliciano Lopez, Federer, and Andy Murray. Djokovic completed the Career Grand Slam by winning the 2016 French Open, becoming just the second man in the Open Era to capture four consecutive major titles, before his run ended at Wimbledon 2016.

Roger Federer’s best streak started with his 2005 Wimbledon victory and extended across the 2005 US Open and 2006 Australian Open. Federer amassed 27 consecutive wins before narrowly falling to Rafael Nadal in the 2006 French Open final.

Rod Laver came close with 29 straight victories in 1969, capturing the Calendar Grand Slam by winning all four majors that year before his streak concluded in 1970.

Rafael Nadal’s longest streak reached 25 matches starting at the 2010 French Open, where he won the title without dropping a set. He followed this with Wimbledon and the US Open victories in 2010 and carried the streak into the 2011 Australian Open.

Pete Sampras won 25 consecutive Grand Slam matches beginning with Wimbledon 1993, taking titles at Wimbledon, US Open 1993, and the 1994 Australian Open before relinquishing his run at the 1994 French Open quarter-finals.

Jimmy Connors also achieved a 25-match Grand Slam win streak between 1974 and early 1975, capturing the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open titles in 1974.

These streaks highlight sustained excellence at the highest level of men’s tennis, with match wins spanning multiple tournaments and surfaces. As Novak Djokovic holds the benchmark, these performances remain a significant part of tennis history.
