Taylor Fritz jumped three places, reaching world No. 4 for the first time in his career after winning the 2025 Stuttgart Open in Germany. This is the 9th ATP title in the American player's career.

Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev in the final with a score of 6-3, 7-6 on the evening of June 15 to extend his winning streak against the German player to 5. Taylor Fritz became the only American tennis player present in the current ATP top 4.
This achievement helped Fritz surpass Novak Djokovic, pushing the Serbian legend down to 5th place. The race for the world number 4 position promises to be tense in the 2 weeks before the players enter Wimbledon 2025, which starts from June 30 to July 13.
Djokovic has tried to focus on the Grand Slams, but his lack of participation in the smaller tournaments has seen him overtaken in the rankings by younger opponents. If he does not make the top four, Nole risks facing Sinner, Zverev or Alcaraz as early as the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2025.
The rest of the world's top 10 also saw some changes. Jack Draper and Lorenzo Musetti dropped in the rankings after failing to defend their points, allowing Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton to break through.
