It was the rise of young Holger Rune (eighth) that caused the Quebecer and Spaniard Rafael Nadal to lose a place. “FAA” could not consolidate their rank in the United Arab Emirates, being defeated in the second round by Lorenzo Sonego. American Maxime Cressy also gave him a lot of trouble in the opening round.
Auger-Aliassime has not been left out of the top 10 since last October. He also finished the season in sixth place.
Ontario’s Denis Shapovalov’s career also ended in the round of 16 in Acapulco on Wednesday. The 23-year-old hasn’t moved in the standings, remaining 30e.
Fernandez in free kick
Among the ladies, Leylah Fernandez (49e) hasn’t played singles in two weeks and has dropped 17 spots. The Lavalloise is no longer the highest ranked Canadian in the WTA, she who could break out of the top 50 for the first time since August 2021, before her final at the United States Open.
Comme Fernandez, Bianca Andreescu (36e) hasn’t played since Feb. 20, but she only dropped one spot this week. Third representative of the maple leaf in the top 100, Rebecca Marino (75e) has also moved down a level.
