Home » Atp 2022 rankings, eight Italians among the top 20 Next Gen of the year. The situation

Francesco Maestrelli, winner of his first Challenger tournament in Verona, jumped the most this week in the Pepperstone ATP Race to Milan, a ranking based on the season’s placings of Under-21 players that will determine qualifiers for the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan from November 8 to 12. The 19-year-old from Pisa advanced 100 spots in the ATP rankings (today he is No. 237) and 15 spots in the Race to Milan, moving up to 14th.

Luciano Darderi, 20, reached the semifinals of Romania’s Iasi Challenger, his third. He rose to 17th in the ATP’s Under 21 rankings, demonstrating the depth of Italian tennis. Eight Italians are among the Race to Milan’s top 20.

Jannik Sinner, ranked second, leads Lorenzo Musetti, ranked fourth, at the ATP 500 in Hamburg. Francesco Passaro (ninth) and Flavio Cobolli also made the list (number ten). In 12th place is Luca Nardi, who in Hamburg reached it through the ATP qualifiers for the first time and will play for the third time in a major main draw (Antwerp 2020 and Rome 2022).

Maestrelli and Darderi bolster Italy’s Top 20, where 21st-placed Matteo Gigante might soon join. Carlo Alcaraz leads the Race to Milan.
