After winning the Madrid Open, the Spanish player has reached his highest ever ATP rankings, i.e. no.6. His rapid improvement in the ATP rankings impressed many tennis pundits and players.

This year, he won a total number of four titles, including the Rio Open, Miami Open, Barcelona, and Madrid Open. He would have been the favorite to win the Italian Open as well if it weren’t for the injury. Now, he is vying for his maiden Grand Slam title in Paris.
