Very few changes will be reported in the ATP rankings on Monday, although we will notice Casper Ruud’s return to the Top 20 and Carlos Alcaraz’s arrival in the Top 100.
Last week, two ATP 250 tournaments were on the schedule for Roland-Garros, in Geneva and Lyon. And they have not led to major changes in the new ranking published this Monday. The Top 13 remains unchanged, with a Novak Djokovic still in the lead, with 1270 points ahead of Daniil Medvedev and 1433 over Rafael Nadal. Winner in Lyon, Stefanos Tsitsipas gained 70 points and is still fifth. The big operation of the week goes to the merit of 22-year-old Norwegian Casper Ruud, who, by winning in Geneva, gains five places to place 16th and equal the best ranking of his career, which goes back to him. just two weeks ago. The best progress of the week is for the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who, at just 18 years old, made his entry into the Top 100 (94th) climbing twenty places thanks to his victory in the Oeiras Challenger tournament in Portugal. The man who is considered in Spain as the future Rafael Nadal is the first player born in 2003 to reach the Top 100 and we cannot wait to see him qualify for Roland Garros.
Best ranking for Rinderknech, Gaston and Cazaux
On the French side, the week was not very bright, once again (fourth for Rinderknech and Gasquet in Lyon, eighth for Cazaux in Geneva) and Gaël Monfils, the best Frenchman, lost a place to find himself 15th (a small miracle for someone who has won only one match in 15 months!). Ugo Humbert is 32nd, Adrian Mannarino 36th, while Benoit Paire drops four spots to 40th. Eleven French are in the Top 100. Behind, Arthur Rinderknech won his best ranking (117 °), as did Hugo Gaston, semi-finalist in Oeiras (141 °) and Arthur Cazaux (451 °), who won the first match of his career in the main draw of a tournament. ATP, at 18.
