Zhang becomes the first Chinese player in the top 100

This is undoubtedly the story of the week. For the first time since the creation of the ATP rankings in 1973, a Chinese player is among the top 100 players in the world. Zhizhen Zhang came from the qualifying rounds in Naples and made it all the way to the quarter-finals. In all, he collected 57 points, giving him the number 97 on Monday.

Dominic Thiem is just a few steps away from reaching the Top 100: a semifinalist for the second tournament in a row, the Austrian has overtaken 19 of his colleagues and is now ranked 113th, 45 points behind the 100th-ranked Australian, Jason Kubler. He is therefore no longer far from validating his end-of-season goal.
