American Taylor Fritz kicks off milestone 100th career week in the Top 10 of the ATP rankings

Taylor Fritz has achieved a lot of career milestones over the last few years—first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells in 2022, Top 10 debut later that year, Top 5 debut in 2023, first Grand Slam final at the 2024 US Open, then first ATP Finals final a few months later.

And this week, another one: his 100th career week in the Top 10.

Fritz got within striking distance of the Top 10 after winning Indian Wells, jumping up from No. 20 to No. 13 on March 21st, 2022, but it was later that year—on October 10th—when he finally cracked the elite, rising from No. 12 to No. 8 after winning his first ATP 500 title in Tokyo.

He’s spent 100 of the 131 weeks since then inside the Top 10, and as a testament to his week-to-week consistency on the tour, in the 31 weeks he dipped outside, he never fell lower than No. 15.

His 100 weeks in the Top 10 have come in four separate stints.

5 weeks: January 29th to March 4th, 2024
31 weeks: September 9th, 2024 to present

Fritz is the highest-ranked American man since 2007.

Exactly a quarter of Fritz’s career weeks in the Top 10—25 of 100—have also been in the Top 5. He’s spent the last 21 weeks in a row at his career-high ranking of No. 4, which he first reached on November 18th of last year following his run to the final of the ATP Finals.

That made him the highest-ranked American man since the week of August 13th, 2007, when Andy Roddick was last ranked No. 4 (behind the Big 3 of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic).
