Alexander Zverev is set to end the 2026 season as the world number one, following Carlos Alcaraz's early exit in the Shanghai Masters. The German tennis star will be the first from his country to achieve this feat and the oldest player to do so for the first time. Zverev's remarkable comeback from injury, coupled with his Grand Slam victories this year, has secured him the top ranking despite the absence of Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz's recent struggles.
