Sebastián Baéz from Buenos Aires, champion on Sunday in Santiago de Chile, has joined the Top 20 of the men’s tennis ranking since this Monday and for the first time in his career. The one born in San Martín is the best-placed Latin American in a ranking that includes seven other compatriots and continues to be dominated by the legendary Novak Djokovic.
Baéz reached 19th place on the list after beating the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo (39th) in the final in Santiago. The 23-year-old, 1.70 meter tall man thus won the sixth title of his career and the second in 2024, after the one achieved in Rio de Janeiro at the end of February.
The populous new Argentine legion within the Top 100 is completed with Francisco Cerúndolo from Buenos Aires (22nd, down two positions), Tomás Etcheverry from La Plata (30th, -3), Facundo Díaz Acosta from Buenos Aires (52nd), Mariano Navone from Buenos Aires (59th , +1), Pedro Cachín from Córdoba (79th, -1), Federico Coria from Santa Fe (90th, -2) and Thiago Tirante from La Plata (97th, +3).
Meanwhile, in the top positions the main change was the return of the Norwegian Casper Ruud, despite losing the final of the Acapulco tournament on Sunday. The Nordic advanced two places and finished ninth, precisely displacing his winner of the Mexican tournament, the Australian Alex de Miñaur, who became tenth.
Thus, the Top 10 has the Serbian Djokovic (1st), the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (2nd), the Italian Jannik Sinner (3rd), the Russians Daniil Medvedev (4th) and Andrey Rublev (5th), the German Alexander Zverev ( 6th), the Danish Holger Rune (7th), the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (8th), Ruud (9th) and Alex de Minaur (10th).
