Went from Arthur Ashe (career high No 2 in 1976) being the lone soldier.
Yannick Noah (CH No 3 in 1986) followed.
Then came James Blake (CH No 4 in 2006).
Before Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (CH No 5 in 2012) and Gaël Monfils (CH No 6 in 2016).
Now, in 2026, we have Ben Shelton (No 4 CH), Félix Auger-Aliassime (No 5), Frances Tiafoe (No 8 CH) and Arthur Fils (No 9 CH) all in the top 10 at the same damn time!
Big congrats to Ben Shelton for making it to his very first Grand Slam Final. No shame in losing to the top seed and someone who has played in the last 3 GS finals. Hoping he can learn from this run and result and come back stronger. Best is yet to come for Big Ben!
