Jordan Thompson has achieved a remarkable feat in the world of professional tennis by securing the highest combined ATP ranking among all players currently competing on the tour. His exceptional performance in both singles and doubles disciplines has earned him this prestigious position.
Thompson’s success was highlighted during his participation at Indian Wells, where he stood out as the sole male player holding a top-50 ATP ranking in both singles and doubles. Although Sebastian Korda later joined him in the doubles top 50 following their impressive final appearance in California, Thompson continues to maintain his status as the leader in combined rankings worldwide.
By combining his impressive singles ranking of world No. 35 with his exceptional doubles ranking of No. 5, Thompson has secured a combined ranking of 40, surpassing all his contemporaries on the ATP Tour. His ability to excel in both singles and doubles, despite the increasing specialization in these categories, showcases his versatility and talent in the sport.
Thompson’s achievements include winning the 2024 US Open doubles championship and reaching the final at Wimbledon the same year. He has reached career-high rankings of world No. 3 in doubles and world No. 26 in singles, demonstrating his prowess in both disciplines. Notably, he also reached the fourth round in singles and clinched the doubles title at the 2024 US Open, showcasing his exceptional skills in both formats.
At the Australian Open 2025, Thompson made history by being seeded for the first time in a Grand Slam singles draw, contributing to Australia’s success in breaking a 25-year drought with three seeded male players. Despite being 30 years old, Thompson maintains peak fitness levels, as evidenced by his impressive win-loss record of 35-24 in singles and 48-13 in doubles last year, totaling 120 matches.
Throughout the current season, Thompson has continued to perform admirably, reaching the singles quarterfinals at the Brisbane International and the third round of the Miami Masters. He has also maintained a strong presence in doubles, achieving a 7-3 record and reaching the quarterfinals in both Miami and Houston after his noteworthy performance in Indian Wells.
In the latest ATP rankings, Thompson stands out as one of only seven players to hold positions within the top 100 in both singles and doubles, placing him ahead of other talented athletes like Korda, Tomas Machac, and Alexander Zverev. Thompson, along with Korda, remains a unique figure in the tennis world as the only players currently boasting top-50 rankings in both singles and doubles.
Jordan Thompson’s exceptional talent, dedication, and success in both singles and doubles competitions solidify his position as a prominent figure in the world of professional tennis. His ability to maintain high rankings in both disciplines underscores his versatility and skill, making him a formidable force on the ATP Tour.
