MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of Oct. 20, 2025

Three ATP Tour events and three experienced champions: Félix Auger-Aliassime in Brussels, Casper Ruud in Stockholm and Daniil Medvedev in Almaty.

As it happens, these three are in a battle to get a qualfying spot at the ATP Tour finals in Turin. And everything they do this week – and next – will have an impact.

But others did well, and several players creeped up to a new career high the rankings – including feisty French veteran Corentin Moutet.

For others, like Canadian Gabriel Diallo, there is work to do to get back into the top 32 for Australia.

Holger Rune (DEN): No. 11 ==========>No. 10
(The fact that Rune is back in the top 10 after Stockholm is the ONLY good news for the Dane. He was up a set on Ugo Humbert in the semifinals – only to rupture his Achilles in the fifth game of the second set. He knew it immediately – and so did everyone watching. That’s a long and brutal rehab, and you can’t help but feel for the guy).

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 13 ==========>No. 12
(This is Felix primetime – indoor hard courts. And while he had to battle and had some very physical matches in Brussels, he pulled off the title. It’s the eighth of his career, tying Milos Raonic for most ATP Tour titles in the Open era. Unfortunately for him he gets friend Gabriel Diallo in the first round of Basel. Tough match for both).

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (FRA): No. 37 ==========>No. 33
(It’s been an up-and-down season for the big-serving Frenchman, with some early losses and also some decent runs. But he’s gone over the $1 million mark for the season, and he’s still just 22. He upset Lorenzo Musetti in the Brussels quarterfinals before losing in two tiebreaks to Jiri Lehecka).

Corentin Moutet (FRA): No. 41 ==========>No. 36
(Moutet, 26, is at a career high after making the Almaty final, where he gave Daniil Medvedev everything he could handle before bowing out).

Raphael Collignon (BEL): No. 90 ==========>No. 73
(The 23-year-old Belgian, born in Minnesota, reaches a career high by making the most of a wild card into his home-country ATP event last week. He beat more celebrated young compatriot Zizou Bergs, and then Davidovich Fokina in the quarters before giving eventual champ Félix Auger-Aliassime a good ride in the semis).

Shintaro Mochizuki (JPN): No. 102 ==========>No. 93
(The 22-year-old makes his top-100 debut after reaching the quarterfinals in Almaty).

Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO): No. 101 ==========>No. 96
(The 33-year-old has taken a long road back, after contentious family issues put him in the spotlight. He’s played every level in the last few years and has finally made some moves at the ATP level. After qualifying and making the second round in Brussels, he retired after losing the first set to Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard. But he’s back in the top 100. Basilashvili played three Grand Slam main draws in 2025, but he had to qualify for all of them. He was last directly in the main draw at Roland Garros in 2023. Ranked No. 1086 in March, 2024, he has SLOWLY climbed back up to get to the top 100 for the first time since Feb. 2023).

Pablo Carreno Busta (ESP): No. 104 ==========>No. 97
(It’s been eight years since Carreño Busta hit the top 10. But he’s still grinding. He’s back in the top 100 after making the Olbia Challenger final).

James Duckworth (AUS): No. 138 ==========>No. 108
(At 33, the hardest-working man in tennis is looking to get into the top 100 and straight into his home Slam. He made a move in Almaty, getting past both Gabriel Diallo and Flavio Cobolli out of the qualifying, before falling in three sets to eventual champion Medvedev in the semis).

Luca Van Assche (FRA): No. 238 ==========>No. 165
(Much is expected of this 21-year-old, Belgium-born Frenchman, who won junior Roland Garros in 2021. He got to No. 63 in the world almost exactly two years ago but had fallen way down. Winning the Olbia Challenger, over Pablo Carreño Busta in the final, was a nice bump).

Elias Ymer (SWE): No. 243 ==========>No. 202
(Ymer sort of fell off the map – not as much as his younger brother Mikael, but still. He was batting an elbow issue this year but had a nice run at his home-country event in Stockholm. He beat Mikael in the first round before losing a three-setter to Denis Shapovalov in the quarterfinals).

Corentin Moutet (FRA) (No. 36)
Ethan Quinn (USA) (No. 71)
Raphael Collignon (BEL) (No. 73)
Shintaro Mochizuki (JPN) (No. 93)
Eliot Spizzirri (USA) (No. 103)
Rafael Jodar (ESP) (No. 210)
Gilles Arnaud Bailly (BEL) (No. 232)

Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 11 ==========>No. 14
(Khachanov was the defending champion in Almaty. But he lost his opener this year to Jan-Lennard Struff, so he falls a few spots).

Gabriel Diallo (CAN): No. 35 ==========>No. 41
(Diallo was the Almaty finalist a year ago, but was ousted in the second round this year and has some work to do, if he wants to be seeded at the Australian Open. He has a tough ask from the get-go in Basel, where he’ll face friend and countryman Félix Auger-Aliassime for the first time ever).

Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP): No. 57 ==========>No. 87
(The 37-year-old hasn’t played since losing in the first round at the US Open. And as a result, he didn’t defend his title from Antwerp – now Brussels) a year ago).

Aleksandar Vukic (AUS): No. 85 ==========>No. 100
(Vukic was a semifinalist in Almaty a year ago, losing to Khachanov. But he went out in the second round to Alex Michelsen this year.  He has semifinal points from a Challenger to defend this week. So he will want to make a move to stay in the top 100 and assure himself of a spot in the main draw of his home Grand Slam).

Hugo Gaston (FRA): No. 97 ==========>No. 113
(Gaston made the final of the Roanne Challenger two weeks ago, but didn’t play last week. Defending semifinalist points from Antwerp – now Brussels – he loses those and falls out of the top 100).

Martin Landaluce (ESP): No. 110 ==========>No. 125
(Landaluce, a promising 19-year-old Spaniard, was at a career high a week ago. But the reigning Olbia Challenger champion *only* made the semis this year, against a tougher field. And so he drops down. He has lost to Pablo Carreño Busta in the last two Challengers, not an easy draw).

Stan Wawrinka (SUI): No. 137 ==========>No. 158
(Wawrinka is still cooking. But he’s not been able to get himself out of this section of the rankings. And he’s 2-11 at the ATP Tour level when he’s gotten the opportunity to play, but is going better at the Challenger level. A year ago he beat Nakashima, Davidovich Fokina and Rublev en route to the semifinals in Stockholm. But he didn’t play anywhere last week, and so drops those points. He has a wild card into Basel and will face Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round on Tuesday night).

Dominic Stricker (SUI): No. 234 ==========>No. 283
(It’s been a tough year for Stricker, coming back from injury. He lost five first round in a row before qualifying and getting to the quarterfinals of the Roanne Challenger two weeks ago. But he had to retire in that quarterfinal match. A year ago he beat Berrettini en route to the Stockholm quarterfinals).
