Europeans lead: Countries with the most ATP Players in the Top 100

Carlos Alcaraz's Spain and Jannik Sinner's Italy are among the countries with the most representatives in the ATP top 100, but neither takes the lead. Surprisingly, France tops the list with 12 players in the top 100, though only three are in the top 50, led by Ugo Humbert.

Seven countries account for 57 of the world's top 100 players at the end of the 2024 season, including six top-10 ATP Stars. Four of them are European, alongside the USA, Australia, and Argentina.

France Tops the ATP Top 100 players list but lacks Top 10 stars

France leads the year with the most players in the ATP top 100, though, unlike other nations in the ranking, none are in the top 10. Its best representative is 26-year-old Ugo Humbert, who reached world No. 14 after a stellar campaign at the Paris Masters, where he made his first Masters 1000 final but lost to Alexander Zverev. Trailing him are Arthur Fils (No. 20), Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (No. 31), and Gael Monfils (No. 55).

In second place, there’s a tie between Italy and Australia, each with 9 representatives. Italy is led by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and has a strong presence in the upper ranking, with six players in the top 50, including Lorenzo Musetti (No. 17), Flavio Cobolli (No. 32), and Matteo Berrettini (No. 34). Meanwhile, Australia's standout is Alex de Minaur, who broke into the top 10 for the first time this season. Further down are Cincinnati Open champion Alexei Popyrin (No. 24) and Jordan Thompson (No. 26).

The third position is shared by the USA and Argentina. The Americans boast five players in the top 25, making them the country with the strongest presence in this segment. Beyond recent US Open and ATP Finals runner-up Taylor Fritz (No. 4), they have serious contenders for major tournaments: Tommy Paul (No. 12), Frances Tiafoe (No. 18), Ben Shelton (No. 21), and Sebastian Korda (No. 22). The latter two, aged 22 and 24 respectively, hint at a promising future for American tennis.

On the other hand, perhaps the biggest surprise is Argentina, with 8 representatives, though only one is in the top 30. Led by Sebastian Baez (No. 27), the South Americans maintain their strong tennis tradition, especially on clay courts, with other strong contenders like Francisco Cerundolo (No. 30), Tomas Martin Etcheverry (No. 29), and Mariano Navone (No. 47).

Spain (6) follows, led by Carlos Alcaraz (No. 2), who lacks company within the top 40. Russia rounds out the list with five players in the top 100, including Daniil Medvedev (No. 5) and Andrey Rublev (No. 8), making it the only country with more than one representative in the top 10.
