ATP Rankings Report – As of Oct. 28, 2024

–

No changes in the top 12, even though seven of them played last week in the twin 500 events in Basel and Vienna.

And youth was served. Big-serving 21-year-old Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard beat 22-year-old Ben Shelton in the Basel final. And 22-year-old Jack Draper won his first career title in Vienna.

Veterans Matteo Berrettini, David Goffin and Stan Wawrinka also made moves. At the other end of the spectrum!

WTA Rankings Report – As of Oct. 28, 2024

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 18 =========> No. 15 (This last chunk of the season has the kids coming to the fore. That includes 22-year-old Draper, who moves into the top 15 with his first career ATP Tour title in Vienna).

Ben Shelton (USA): No. 23 =========> No. 19 (Shelton moves back into the top 20 with his effort in Basel, and was hugely gracious about bowing out to the superb serving and overall skills of first-time winner Giovani Mpetshi Perricard).

Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 24 =========> No. 21 (Khachanov was quiet most of the season. But he won in Almaty and he made the Vienna final, moving him just a few points from getting back into the top 20 for the first time since May).

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (FRA): No. 50 =========> No. 31 (The 21-year-old and his huge serve were fairly untouchable in Basel, as he beat Canadians Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov on the way to the final, where he beat Shelton in straight sets. He’s looking good to be seeded at the Australian Open – a tournament at which he lost in the final round of qualifying in January – when he was ranked outside the top 200).

**In January, Mpetshi Perricard cramped up and lost in the final round of the AO qualies to … Hugo Grenier. In January, he’s likely to return as a seeded player.**

Matteo Berrettini (ITA): No. 41 =========> No. 36 (Berrettini began the season at No. 125, relying on his protected ranking to get into tournaments. he’s come around well, and is within reach of a seed in Melbourne – especially if he can make a move in Paris).

David Goffin (BEL): No. 54 =========> No. 50 (Goffin, 33, got to the Basel quarterfinals as a lucky loser, and returns to the top 50. He had to start at the bottom again in the Paris Masters qualifying, and lost in the first round on Saturday to Arthur Cazaux. Still, the former No. 7 who defeated Gabriel Diallo in the final round to get through qualifying at the 2024 Australian Open has bounced back beautifully and won’t have to worry about the qualies in January).

**David Goffin had to survive qualifying a year ago in Melbourne. Back in the top 50 now, he’ll have no such concerns in January.**

Denis Shapovalov (CAN): No. 95 =========> No. 80 (A good late-season surge means Shapovalov, whose protected ranking opportunities ran out even as he fell outside the top 100, is in much better position as he concludes his season. He gave eventual champion Mpetshi Perricard a big tussle in the Basel quarterfinals, too, before going out in a third-set tiebreak).

Adam Walton (AUS): No. 103 =========> No. 92 (Walton made the final at the Taipei Challenger. He is low-key is into the top 100 and unlike a year ago, won’t need a wild card to get into his home Slam. For the first time, at age 25).

Otto Virtanen (FIN): No. 114 =========> No. 96 (Virtanen wins the Brest Challenger, which puts him into the top 100 for the first time. He needed to go 8-6 in the third-set tiebreak to do it, over France’s Benjamin Bonzi).

Stan Wawrinka (SUI): No. 169 =========> No. 149 (Wawrinka got a wild card and had a good win in Basel, worth 20 spots in the rankings. He’s not done – not only does he plan to play in 2025, he’s at a Challenger in Bratislava this week).

Murphy Cassone (USA): No. 363 =========> No. 328 (The 22-year-old Calgary Challenger champion brought that momentum to the unlikely tennis town of Sioux City, SD this week as a special exempt – and made the semifinals. The 22-year-old from Kansas was ranked No. 631 a months ago, No. 944 at the start of the 2024 season).

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 19 =========> No. 27 (FAA was the defending champion in Basel. So his second-round loss means he drops a fair bit. He was defending 45 points in Paris, a tournament he withdrew from with a back issue after the draw on Saturday – he was to play Shelton in the first round. He might drop more, depending on what some of the other players behind him do this week).

Dominic Stricker (SUI): No. 258 =========> No. 301 (Stricker, still just 22, is back after being out with injury and his ranking will bounce back. In the meantime, though, he lost in the second round of Basel with a wild card, and drops points from his quarterfinal run from a year ago).

Borna Gojo (CRO): No. 422 =========> No. 448 (Gojo, 26, has had a tough year. But as a qualifier in Sioux Falls, he won the title and limited his fall to about No. 448, as the points from a quarterfinal in Vienna a year ago drop off. A year ago, he was at No. 73, one spot away from his career high reached in November. Gojo was out from Auckland in early January to the Lincoln Challenger in early August and had posted just two victories all year until this week).
