Italy and Spain have been the talk of the tennis world lately because of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who are keeping their flags flying high. Both players might be ranked among the top in the world individually, but when it comes to the overall national depth, their countries are falling behind. Behind whom? America, because America is leading the charge in the ATP rankings.

Recently, Punto de Break revealed the distribution of ATP top-100 players by country at the close of 2025. The U.S. is flexing hard with 15 players, including big names like Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Brandon Nakashima. Basically, if you’re an American, there’s a good chance one of your guys is making waves on the tour

With 14 players like Rinderknech, Moutet, Humbert, Fils, Muller, and Royer, France is not far behind, showing that Europe still has significant depth. With eight players, Italy is holding firm in third place:  Sinner, Musetti, Cobolli, Darderi, Sonego, Berrettini, Arnaldi, and Bellucci.

Spain and Argentina are also keeping things tense. Spain has six players in the top 100, including Alcaraz, Davidovich, Munar, Carreno, Bautista, and Martinez, while Argentina has seven: Cerundolo, Baez, Carabelli, Etcheverry, Comesana, Navone, and JM Cerundolo. Not to be overlooked are six players from Australia, including De Minaur, Popyrin, Walton, Vukic, Duckworth, and Schoolkate. Every continent seems to be demonstrating its capacity to produce exceptional talent.

The best part, though, is that tennis is now truly worldwide. Djokovic and three other players from Serbia hold the seventh position. Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and Russia all have three, and at least one Kazakhstani or Japanese player is ranked in the top 100.

The only thing a little shocking is that despite the presence of stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominating the game, their countries continue to fail to measure the greatness of the likes of the U.S. and France. But who is leading in the top 10?

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner shine even when nations lag

Italy and Spain may be struggling to keep pace with the depth of the United States, but they are still gaining attention on the ATP Tour. After all, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have kept their nations’ flags flying high with incredible performances. Alcaraz finished the year as ATP Year-End No. 1, while Sinner claimed No. 2, winning two Grand Slams, the Nitto ATP Finals, and multiple ATP Masters 1000 and 500 titles.

There are other well-known names in the Top 10. While Novak Djokovic won his 18th year-end Top 10 and added several trophies, including in Geneva and Athens, to his 100 tour-level career titles, Alexander Zverev achieved his third year-end Top 3 finish.
