Alexander Zverev will replace Jannik Sinner as the men’s world number one at his earliest opportunity after reaching the quarter-finals in Vienna.

Germany’s Zverev was already guaranteed to finish 2026 as the ATP’s leading player, but made sure he will rise to the summit on Monday with a 6-4 7-5 win over Tallon Griekspoor at the Erste Bank Open.
