Germany's Alexander Zverev is set to achieve the world No. 1 ranking for the first time in his career, with the ATP confirmation expected on Monday following his title victory at the Vienna Open.
The 27-year-old secured the necessary ranking points with his triumph in the Austrian capital, overtaking the current top-ranked player in the live standings. The official ATP rankings update on Monday will formalize his ascent to the summit of men's tennis.
Zverev's run to the Vienna title came after a strong showing at the Shanghai Masters earlier in October, where he reached the semifinals before falling to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Photos from that match in Shanghai captured Zverev in action during his deep run at the ATP 1000 event.
