Albert Ramos36 years old, lost eight places in the ATP world ranking, dropping from 96 to 104, losing the status of the world top-100, which he has maintained since 2011.
Its relegation meant that Catalan tennis suffered one of its worst ATP rankings ever. This is the first time since 1977 that there is no Catalan player in the men’s world top-100, according to Pedro Hernandez, who was in charge of collecting data for the 125th anniversary of the RCT Barcelona-1899, promoted the Català Tennis Hall of Fame and manages the Olympic museum of this sport in Barcelona. He is a student of racket sport.
In 1977 there were two tennis players trained in Catalonia, although born in Granada: Manolo Orantes and Pepe Higueras. In the 1978 season, the Barcelonans were already in the top-100 Ángel Giménez or Javier Soler.
Recently, among Catalan tennis players, Àlex Corretja reached No. 2 ATP. Also in the top 10 are Sergi Bruguera (3), Tommy Robredo (5), Albert Costa (6), Joan Aguilera (7) and Carlos Costa (10).
There are currently five top 100 players in Spanish tennis, a number that is also low compared to recent times. They are the Murcians Carlos Alcaraz (2)the Andalusian Alexander Davidovich (24) and Roberto Carballés (66), the mallorcan Jaume Munar (70) and the one from Castellón Roberto Bautista (98).
After Albert Ramos, the next Catalan on the list is the one from Barcelona Battle Rock Oriole310 at the age of 30. Next, the native Tarragona David Jordan29 years old and number 326.
