The five Top-50 players who have never won an ATP title

Carving out a prestigious career in professional tennis necessarily passes by winning ATP titles, but there are several players with indisputable qualities, who despite playing the most important tournaments so far have not been able to win any title on the ATP Tour.

The most obvious case is that of Félix Auger-Aliassime, who has already lost six finals, despite his young age and his talent already highlighted in recent years. In any case, no one doubts that, sooner or later, the Canadian will become one of the winning tennis players, but there are four other players who are very recognized by the public and feared by their rivals, who despite consolidating in the top-50 of the ATP ranking, have never managed to win a title.

The best classified, after the aforementioned Aliassime, is the Serbian Filip Krajinovic who occupies the 31st position in the world ranking and defeated in three ATP finals. Immediately behind the Serbian, there is Daniel Evans, an enormously talented tennis player who also played great games in the season finale, but who at 30 has not yet managed to lift a ATP Tour trophy.

The Briton lost in the Sydney 2017 and Delray Beach 2019 finals, while this year he signed three semi-finals. Jan-Lennard Struff is another of those who, despite being on the circuit for many years, has yet to put her first trophy on the board.

He concludes the year in 36th place in the world, but he cannot yet have reached the final either. He hasn't even been close in this unusual season, where his performance hasn't been as high as in previous years. The list is completed by Alexander Bublik, number 50 in the ATP rankings and who played two finals last year (Chengdu and Newport). The semi-finals in Marseille and the quarter-finals in Hamburg were the best of this 2020.

In 2020 there were six new ATP title champions. Despite the few tournaments played in such a difficult year, there is a large roster of new champions, and most of them are young talent. Fifteen players won a title for the first time last season, and in 2020, despite the disruption due to the pandemic and reduced tournaments, six men won the first title of their career. Casper Ruud (Buenos Aires), Ugo Humbert (Antwerp), Jannik Sinner (Sofia) and Miomir Kecmanovic (Kitzühel), Thiago Seyboth-Wild (Santiago), John Millman (Nur Sultan).
