Alexander Zverev hasn’t been this high up in this table for a long time. The German tennis pro has climbed to second place in the world rankings, overtaking stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Two years ago, he slipped down several places due to an ankle injury. Now only one player is ahead of him: Jannik Sinner from Italy. The player won one of the four major tennis tournaments on Sunday. This is the US Open in the USA.

Alexander Zverev was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tournament. This means he is still waiting for a title at the most important tournaments.
