Stefanos Tsitsipas is back in the top 10. Thanks to his third title at the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 in four years (after 2021 and 2022) against Casper Ruud, the 25-year-old Greek is in 7th place in the world this Monday of a ranking still dominated by Novak Djokovic (for the 421st week!) ahead of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
On the French side, Ugo Humbert, competing this week in Barcelona, climbs two more places and now finds himself 13th. Quarter-finalist on the Rock and making great progress on clay, Messin has reached its best ranking and has no intention of stopping there.

For several weeks, the Lorraine left-hander has been working with physical trainer Xavier Moreau to build the body that will lead him to the top 10. “We are a bit like Formula 1. We have to be meticulous in all sectors, such as nutrition. for example, he explains. Putting all this together takes the stress away, because I tell myself that I just have to think about playing. »
