Top 10 Men’s Tennis Players by UTR Rating

1. Jannik Sinner (UTR Rating 16.39)

Jannik Sinner celebrates back-to-back Australian Open titles in Melbourne

Jannik Sinner's suspension ends on May 4, just ahead of the 2025 Roland Garros. The Italian missed out on chances to win the BNP Paribas Open and the Miami Open as he was serving a three-month suspension because of two positive doping tests last year.

2. Novak Djokovic (UTR Rating 16.23)

This has not been the 2025 that Novak Djokovic envisioned. The 24-time major champion is just 12-7 on the year and has lost his last three matches, including back-to-back opening-round contests on clay in Monte-Carlo and Madrid.

Djokovic reached the Roland Garros quarterfinals last year before winning the elusive Olympic gold medal on the same surface. Can he revive his game in time for Paris?

3. Carlos Alcaraz (UTR Rating 16.17)

Carlos Alcaraz plays great tennis to improve UTR Rating at US Open

Carlos Alcaraz is rolling. The Spanish phenom won the Monte-Carlo title, his sixth ATP Masters 1000 title, and made the final the following week in Barcelona. He is rounding into top form ahead of the defense of his Roland Garros title in Paris.

4. Jack Draper (UTR Rating 16.05)

Jack Draper won the BNP Paribas Open title in Indian Wells in March 2025

Jack Draper blitzed through the Indian Wells draw, beating Next Gen upstart Joao Fonseca, American Jenson Brooksby, former champion Taylor Fritz, 2024 US Open semifinalist Ben Shelton, Alcaraz and 13th seed Holger Rune to win the biggest title of his career.

"Definitely a big moment for me," Draper said. "Getting inside the top 10, and also... to win my first Masters title... just adds to my inner belief and my confidence."

Now playing at a new career-high of No. 6 in the ATP Rankings, Draper is showing his top form on clay as well with a deep run at the Masters 1000 in Madrid.

5. Alex de Minaur (UTR Rating 16.02)

Alex de Minaur having a great 2024 and boosting his UTR Rating

He just keeps getting better and better. De Minaur doesn't have the physical gifts of other players but he certainly has one of the most dedicated work ethics on the ATP Tour.

The Aussie made his fifth Grand Slam quarterfinal, and first at his home Slam, at the 2025 Australian Open. De Minaur fell to the eventual champion Sinner in straight sets.

In February, he made the Rotterdam final (loss to Alcaraz) and the quarterfinals in Doha, where he also lost to the eventual champion (Rublev) in a third-set tie-break.

Steady De Minaur reached back-to-back fourth rounds in Indian Wells and Miami. A workmanlike showing, per usual, from the Aussie, which helped him crack the Top 5 of this prestigious list.

6. Alexander Zverev (UTR Rating 15.97)

Alexander Zverev, who fell to Sinner in the 2025 Australian Open men's singles final, went 2-2 during the Sunshine Double. He placed the blame solely on himself as well: "I have been losing a lot of matches where I feel like I couldn't control lately. Yeah, it was similar today again. So I have to look at myself more than anything else."

On the clay, his favorite surface (Zverev has won 73% of his tour-level clay-court matches, compared to 50% on grass and 69% on hard), the German is playing good ball. Zverev won his first title of the year in Munich, beating Ben Shelton in the final.

7. Holger Rune (UTR Rating 15.88)

A straight-sets win against Carlos Alcaraz in the Barcelona final will do wonders for your UTR Rating, as Holger Rune has discovered. Rune catapulted into the top 10 on the back of that massive win, which was his first title of 2025.

8. Tommy Paul (UTR Rating 15.84)

Tommy Paul

Paul will be a player to contend with during the clay-court swing. He reached the semifinals of the ATP 250 event in Houston and his game, along with his stellar movement, transitions well to the clay.

9. Matteo Berrettini (UTR Rating 15.83)

Matteo Berrettini is steadily working himself into top form, making the quarterfinals in Miami and the third round in Monte-Carlo.
