Italian men's tennis is undergoing one of its most successful periods in recent memory. For the first time since the ATP World Rankings were established in 1973, Italy has four players in the top twenty. Leading this group is Jannik Sinner, who is presently ranked second in the world. The South Tyrolean tennis star has already made history as the first Italian to reach the top of the ATP Tour rankings. Behind him in the world's top five comes Lorenzo Musetti, a Tuscan tennis player known for his elegant and creative style that has made him one of the most popular players on the circuit. The third Italian among the top twenty is Flavio Cobolli, who reached the best ranking of his career by climbing to world number 14. The quartet is completed by Luciano Darderi, who, with his ascent to number 18 in the rankings, becomes the fourteenth Italian player to enter the top twenty of the ATP rankings since the inception of the modern ranking system over fifty years ago.
