Germany's Zverev Becomes Tennis World No. 1
Zverev beat Tallon Griekspoor 6-4, 7-5 to reach the last eight and become the 30th man to top the ATP rankings.
- On Thursday, Alexander Zverev secured the ATP world number one ranking by defeating Tallon Griekspoor 6-4, 7-5 at the Vienna Open, becoming the 30th man to achieve this feat since rankings began in 1973.

- The 29-year-old is the second German to top the men's tour rankings since Boris Becker in 1991, having secured 64 victories across 80 matches during 2026.
- "I'm super happy, super thrilled," said Zverev, who acknowledged he might "maybe not" be the world's best player if rivals were "healthy and at the top of their game."
- The Hamburg native now turns his focus to the season-ending ATP Finals next month, entering as the new world number one after a campaign that seemed "unthinkable" at the start of 2026.
