The Rolex Paris Masters caused quite a few changes in the ATP rankings, even if Novak Djokovic retains his No.1 spot. Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz all won a place in the Top 10, while on the French side, Hugo Gaston is now 67th.
Last Masters 1000 of the season, the Rolex Paris Masters caused quite a few changes in the ATP ranking. Not in the first place since Novak Djokovic, winner of the tournament, is now guaranteed to finish the world No.1 season for the seventh time in his career, which has never happened in the history of tennis. Finalist in Paris, Daniil Medvedev is second at 3,300 points behind the Serbian. Change on the other hand on the third step of the podium, since Alexander Zverev, semi-finalist at Bercy, steals the place of Stefanos Tsitsipas, forced to retire in the round of 16, and equal the best ranking of his career. Andrey Rublev overtakes Rafael Nadal, absent since August, in fifth place, while Hubert Hurkacz, semi-finalist and officially qualified for the Masters, takes ninth place from Jannik Sinner, who should be the first substitute. in Turin.
Renewal in French tennis
On the French side, the big news this Monday is of course the 36-place gain for Hugo Gaston. The surprising quarter-finalist from Bercy finds himself in 67th place in the world at the age of 21 and is therefore now guaranteed to enter directly into the big picture of the Australian Open. The Toulousain, new darling of the French public, is found just behind Benjamin Bonzi (65th) and Adrian Mannarino (66th). The best tricolor remains Gaël Monfils, who wins a place and finds himself 21st, despite his forfeit in the round of 16 in Paris. Before the last tournament week of the season (in Stockholm), nine French people are in the Top 100. They were eleven a year ago, but Tsonga, Simon, Pouille, Chardy and Herbert have disappeared, while Rinderknech, Bonzi and Gaston have arrived.
