Milan, 2 March (LaPresse) – Success in the ATP 500 in Acapulco, the third in his career, propels Flavio Cobolli into the Top 15. The Roman player has made rapid and uninterrupted progress over the last three years. Ranked 165th in the world in March 2023, Cobolli has shown steady improvement and developed a game increasingly suited to fast surfaces: it is no coincidence that his success in Acapulco, his second in an ATP 500 tournament, comes less than a year after his first Slam quarter-final, achieved at Wimbledon. Cobolli is the eighth Italian to have reached the Top 15 in the ATP rankings in the Open era. By 66 points, the difference between Luciano Darderi (2,104), champion in Santiago, and Francisco Cerundolo (2,170), who was stopped in the semi-finals in Chile, Italy has not woken up with four players in the top twenty in the world in men's singles for the first time since 1973, when the computerised ATP ranking was introduced. This is this week's ATP top ten ranking: 1 (=0). Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) 13,550 points, 2 (=0). Jannik Sinner (ITA) 10,400, 3 (=0). Novak Djokovic (SRB) 5,280, 4 (=0). Alexander Zverev (GER) 4,555, 5 (=0). Lorenzo Musetti (ITA) 4,405, 6 (=0). Alex de Minaur (AUS) 4,235, 7 (=0). Taylor Fritz (USA) 4,220, 8 (+1). Ben Shelton (USA) 4,010, 9 (-1). Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) 3,950, 10 (=0). Alexander Bublik (KAZ) 3,405.
