Rafael Jódar enters ATP top 10, breaking Gustavo Kuerten's record

Spanish tennis player Rafael Jódar has entered the ATP top 10, reaching the 10th position with 3,209 points. At 20 years old, Jódar achieved this milestone just 287 days after his professional debut at the Australian Open in January, breaking the previous record held by Brazil's Gustavo Kuerten, who took 490 days to reach the same position.

Jódar's rapid ascent follows a season that included a title in Marrakech, finals in Washington and Shanghai, and semifinals in Barcelona and Montreal. Before turning professional in December, he played for the University of Virginia and participated in the 2025 Next Gen Finals.

Other significant changes in the ATP rankings include Alexander Zverev moving into the number one spot, surpassing Jannik Sinner. Félix Auger-Aliassime dropped from 7th to 13th, allowing Arthur Fils to rise to 7th. Novak Djokovic moved to 11th, while Taylor Fritz fell to 12th following his semifinal loss in Basel.
