ATP Rankings Report – As of Jan. 13, 2025

–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Sunday back in North America is Monday Down Under, where the final warmup tournaments before the Australian Open took place last week and put up not unusual “week before a major” results.

But great news for Félix Auger-Aliassime, who won his sixth career title and made a great start in his plan to get his ranking back up to where it should be.

Here’s a brief rankings update for this week, with so much going on in Melbourne.

WTA Rankings Report – As of Jan. 13, 2025

There were no changes in the top 10, only a couple of small ones in the top 20.

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 29 =========> No. 23 (A nice bump – both in the rankings and in his confidence, for Auger-Aliassime as he wins Adelaide. It’s his first outdoor hard-court title. And he took that momentum into a four-set victory in the first round against the generally tough Jan-Lennard Struff).

Gael Monfils (FRA): No. 52 =========> No. 41 (Monfils becomes the oldest player since the ATP began in 1990 to win a Tour event, with his win in Auckland. He’s actually tied in points with Tallon Griekspoor at No. 40. He must face his natural successor, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, in the first round in Melbourne on Tuesday).

Zizou Bergs (BEL): No. 66 =========> No. 60 (Bergs made the final in Auckland – the first for a Belgian male player since David Goffin in 2014. It’s another career high; he gets Facundo Diaz Acosta of Argentina in the first round in Melbourne, a highly winnable match).

***Hamad Medjedovic played the AO qualifying a year ago, but took a pass this year and won a Challenger instead.***

Hamad Medjedovic: No. 112 =========> No. 98 (Medjedovic took a pass on the Australian Open qualifying to stay in Europe and play the Oeiras Challenger indoors. He won it. And the 21-year-old leaps into the top 100 for the first time).

Nishesh Basavareddy: No. 133 =========> No. 107 (Basavareddy had a great first Aussie swing, culminating in his taking of the first set against Novak Djokovic, in a night match on Rod Laver Arena Monday night. Things unfortunately got complicated after that, as he appeared to be cramping. But he began the year at No. 138 and is now less than 40 points from the top 100, at age 19).

Liam Draxl: No. 246 =========> No. 208 (Draxl wasn’t close enough to getting into qualifying in Melbourne to stick around Down Under. So he went to Portugal instead and reached the final of an indoor Challenger on hard courts – and hits a new career high).

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 15 =========> No. 18 (Draper wasn’t able to play United Cup – or anything to prep for the Australian Open, because of an injury. So he drops his points from making the Adelaide final a year ago, when he beat Tommy Paul and Alexander Bublik en route. Despite the ring rust – Draper hadn’t played since the third round of the Paris Masters – he still managed to win a four-hour marathon in the first round in Melbourne against Mariano Navone).

Alejandro Tabilo (CHI): No. 23 =========> No. 26 (Tabilo was the defending champion in Auckland, but he went out the second round to Basavareddy last week after a first-round bye. He also went out Monday to Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round of the Australian Open, after winning the first set 6-1).

***Cana-Chilean Alejandro Tabilo won his first career ATP title in Auckland last year, but couldn’t defend it last week.***

Jiri Lehecka (CZE): No. 24 =========> No. 29 (Lehecka won Adelaide a year ago, but didn’t play last week after winning Brisbane and also making the doubles final (he got retirements from. Grigor Dimitrov in the semis and Reilly Opelka in the final in Brisbane, which was helpful).

Jacob Fearnley (GBR): No. 86 =========> No. 92 (A year ago, ranked No. 646, Fearnley won a $25K ITF in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg and moved up 100 spots in the rankings! So he drops those points this week. But he’s in the main draw at the Australian Open instead of on the grinder’s circuit. So he’ll make that trade. On Monday, he knocked off Nick Kyrgios to move into the second round of the Australian Open).

Taro Daniel (JPN): No. 84 =========> No. 113 (Every time Daniel, 31, seems to be in the top 100 to stay, he drops some points and falls out. He made the Auckland final last year, which lifted him to his career high of No. 58. And no better news in Melbourne as he lost in four sets to Aussie wild card Tristan Schoolkate in the first round on Monday, after losing in the first round of the Canberra Challenger to Alexis Galarneau and the first round of Adelaide qualifying to Manuel Guinard. So far, not so good in 2025).
