The 9 players with the most bagels in the past 52 weeks: Alex de Minaur surges clear
Alex de Minaur recorded an astonishing double bagel win (a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline) over Grigor Dimitrov at the Monte Carlo Masters and while some were surprised, the Australian’s recent history of handing out 6-0 sets is excellent.
World No 10 De Minaur was brutal during his quarter-final victory over the Bulgarian as he took only 44 minutes to dispatch Dimitrov, winning 48 points to 15.
It was the first time since the introduction of the ATP Masters 1000 format that a double-bagel win had been recorded while De Minaur has reached the semi-final of a clay-court Masters for the first time in his career.
The Australian recorded his first 6-0, 6-0 win, but he knows how it feels to be on the receiving end of a double-bagel defeat.
“I did know that, and in fact I know that the only time that I ever lost love and love (0-6, 0-6) myself was to Tommy Paul in the semi-finals of US Open Juniors. So yeah, it’s pretty crazy,” he said after the match.
According to Tennis Abstract, De Minaur has now handed out nine bagels in the past 52 weeks in top-level tennis; of course delivering two in one match is very handy.
The 9 players with the most bagels in the past 52 weeks:
=7. Carlos Alcaraz – 3
The Spaniard moved up to three bagels for the past 52 weeks thanks to his 6-0 second-set win over Francisco Cerundolo in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters.
His other two bagels were at the Indian Wells Open against Jack Draper, although he lost the match 1-6, 6-0, 4-6, and the Australian Open when he beat Yoshihito Nishioka 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.
In case you were wondering, Alcaraz only delivered two bagels in 2024 and that was also at the Australian Open and Indian Wells Masters so those two missed the 52-week cutoff.
=7. Zhizhen Zhang – 3
Chinese star Zhang’s three bagels were handed out in 2024 as the first was at the Hamburg Open in July when he beat Thiago Seyboth Wild 7-6 (8-6), 6-0, then he defeated Mattia Bellucci 6-3, 6-0 at Hangzhou before beating Thiago Monteiro by the same scoreline at the United Cup in December.
