ATP Players who never reached top 10 despite best win rates over top players as Nick Kyrgios leads list
ATP
Rankings in any sport are extremely important for any athlete.
If any athlete claims that he or she is not interested in rankings will not be
speaking the truth.
In tennis, like other sports, becoming the world number one
remains the pinnacle for any player competing on the court.
While that is extremely hard to achieve for obvious reasons,
players often want to cement their spot in the top 10.
In men’s tennis, claiming a spot in the 10 best players
is a hard thing to achieve. Therefore, we are bringing you a list of 10 players
who never made it to the top 10 but had the highest win percentage.
First on the list features Australia’s Nick Kyrgios. The
28-year-old’s highest rank was 13 but has a win percentage of 42.19.
Peru’s former tennis player Luis Horna is second on the list
who had a win percentage of 41.67 but never made it to the top 10.
Croatia’s Goran Prpic is third on the list with a win
percentage of 39.29. Slovakia’s Dominik Hrbaty is fourth on the list with a 38.55%
win percentage.
Spain’s Albert Portas is fifth with a win percentage of 38.46.
He is followed by Germany’s Bernd Karbacher with 37.93% win ratio.
The other four players are France’s Nicolas Escude (37.74%),
the Netherlands’ Paul Haarhuis (37.5%), Argentina’s Mariano Zabaleta (37.21%)
and Norway’s Henrik Holm (36.36%).

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
