The glory of Italian men's tennis: six players are in the top 10 of the ATP rankings, with Musetti in the ranking
In tennis, the Italians are writing their own chapter of success. Lorenzo Musetti's impressive performances at the Madrid Open 2025 saw him break into the top 10 of the ATP rankings, making him the fourth Italian player to do so.
Musetti has been in fine form on clay, finishing runners-up at the Monte Carlo Masters and reaching the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open. When he arrived in Madrid, he was ranked 11th in the world, a career-high ranking and immediately moved up to ninth place after beating De Minaur. The 2019 pro-turned-professional has won two ATP singles titles and reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year.
In addition to Musetti, there are five Italian men who have been in the top 10 in the world.
