MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of Oct. 27, 2025

A lot of changes in the top 10 this week, actually, even with no 1000 on the schedule – rather, a pair of 500s.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that two players who did well last year, Jack Draper and Holger Rune, were unable to play because of injuries.

But Félix Auger-Aliassime and Casper Ruud are back in the top 10, and a number of players – including Joao Fonseca and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina – are at career highs.

Champions this week are Sinner in Vienna, and Fonseca in Basel.

(First-round opponents in Paris, if applicable, are in brackets)

Alex de Minaur (AUS): No. 7 =========> No. 6
(De Minaur made the semis in Vienna and, with Ben Shelton dropping a lot of points, squeezes up a spot).(Bye, Griekspoor/Diallo)

Casper Ruud (NOR): No. 11 =========> No. 9
(Back into the top 10 for Ruud, who’s been quiet this season but has somehow managed to do enough. And he’s still in the running for Turin).(Bye, Altmaier/Giron)

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 12 =========> No. 10
(The Canadian is back into the top 10 as well, something that seemed a tough ask just months ago and is happening for the fist time since May, 2023. He retired in the quarterfinals of Basel, but hopefully will be good to go in Paris for one last push to make the final eight in Turin). ([Q] Francisco Comesana)

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP): No. 18 =========> No. 15
(One day, Davidovich Fokina will win his first career ATP Tour title. He’s already giving himself a much better chance; after making just one final in his entire career before this year, he’s made four this year. He was just outplayed on Sunday by young Joao Fonseca. Still, he’s in the top 15 for the first time). (Ugo Humbert)

Joao Fonseca (BRA): No. 46 =========> No. 28
(Everything the 19-year-old Brazilian does is under the microscope this year. And so of course his decision to skip the Asian swing – playing just Davis Cup and Laver Cup – and be fresh for a final end-of-season push got flack. But it paid off in Basel, where he wins the second title of his career – and the biggest – and moves into the top 30 for the first time). (Denis Shapovalov)

Corentin Moutet (FRA): No. 36 =========> No. 32
(Another career high for the pesky Frenchman, who took care of Daniil Medvedev – who took care of him the previous week in the Almaty final) and got to the Vienna quarterfinals).([LL] Reilly Opelka)

Reilly Opelka (USA): No. 62 =========> No. 52
(Opelka made the quarters in Basel and he’s just 30 points away from getting back into the top 50 for the first time since Feb. 2023. A year ago, he was at No. 295 and two years ago, had no ranking at all. It’s been a long road back. He coughed up a walkover in his final-round qualifying match in Paris. But he made it as a lucky loser and he could well cross that plateau this week).(Corentin Moutet)

Valentin Royer (FRA): No. 69 =========> No. 59
(The other Valentin – Vacherot – has been getting all the ink of late. But this 24-year-old has moved up all year and sits at another career best).

Marin Cilic (CRO): No. 89 =========> No. 75
(Cilic, 37, faced David Goffin twice in Basel – in qualifying, and then in the first round. He lost to Auger-Aliassime in the second round, but nakes another move upwards).

Roman Andres Burruchaga (ARG): No. 128 =========> No. 106
(The 23-year-old is one of a number of South American players who have ditched the rest of the Tour for the season and hit the South American Challenger circuit, in quest of enough points to maybe squeeze into the top 100 and get straight into the Australian Open. He’s wins the Costa Do Sauipe Challenger to make a new career high).

Alexis Galarneau (CAN): No. 187 =========> No. 180
(Galarneau had a GREAT week in Brest, reaching the semis and posting some solid wins. But because he earned a few points in Sioux Falls a year ago, he didn’t make a huge dent in his ranking. He may have done some great things for his confidence, though. He has Charlottesville and Drummondville points still to defend in 2025).

Justin Engel (GER): No. 235 =========> No. 188
(The 18-year-old from Germany is the first one born in 2007 – !!!! – to win a challenger, as he takes the Hamburg event).

Johannus Monday (GBR): No. 238 =========> No. 212
(The Brit with one of our favorite names makes a move in, of all places, Sioux Falls, D.C. as he reaches the final of the Challenger there)

 

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP) (No. 15)
Joao Fonseca (BRA) (No. 28)
Corentin Moutet (FRA) (No. 32)
Valentin Royer (FRA) (No. 59)
Filip Misolic (AUT) (No. 87)
Eliot Spizziri (USA) (No. 100)
Roman Andres Burruchaga (ARG) (No. 106)
Adolfo Daniel Vallejo (PAR) (No. 166)
Justin Engel (GER) (No. 188)
Arthur Fery (GBR) (No. 190)
George Loffhagen (GBR) (No. 200)
Johannus Monday (GBR) (No. 212)

Ben Shelton (USA): No. 6 =========> No. 7
(Shelton has been a bit of a ghost since the US Open, even though he has been playing. But he loses in the second round of Basel to Jaume Munar, after making the final last year, and drops nearly 300 points to drop).(Bye, Cobolli/Machac)

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 9 =========> No. 11
(Draper won Vienna a year ago. And obviously with his season over, was unable to defend his title. He drops out of the top 10 for the first time since he jumped in, back in March).

Holger Rune (DEN): No. 10 =========> No. 12
(Having squeezed back into the top 10 last week despite the terrible Achilles injury for which he’s just had surgery, Rune drops back out as he loses his points from making the semis a year ago. He also has semifinal points from the Paris Maters to come off, which might drop him another three spots. All of that won’t matter as when he does come back, he’ll have a protected ranking. Godspeed to him).

Arthur Fils (FRA): No. 30 =========> No. 37
(Back issues are tricky. And the 21-year-old Frenchman has seen a breakout season heavily curtailed because of it. He hasn’t played since Toronto, and drops his points from making the Basel semis a year ago. And he’s seen his ranking drop from No. 14 after Roland Garros).

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (FRA): No. 33 =========> No. 55
(It’s been a rollercoaster for the big-serving Frenchman, who clearly needs to look at adding more consistency to the other parts of his game to smooth out those curves. He won Basel a year ago. This year, he had a tough draw and got Fonseca – who ended up winning the entire thing. And that puts him out of the top 50).(Grigor Dimitrov)

David Goffin (BEL): No. 104 =========> No. 122
(Goffin got a second chance in Basel after losing to Cilic in the qualifying. But he faced Cilic again in the first round, and had to retire. That drops his ranking down to where he might have to do what he did two years ago in Melbourne: get through the qualifying. Will he do it? We’ll see).

Otto Virtanen (FIN): No. 120 =========> No. 147
(Virtanen lost in the first round of the Brest Challenger, after winning it last year).

Taro Daniel (JPN): No. 179 =========> No. 275
(Tough year for the former No. 58, who drops his points from winning the Seoul Challenger last year. He’d already dropped from not defending a Challenger title the previous week as well. And he has another semi to defend next month. He’s lost his opener in 21 of the 28 events he’s played this year, and we’re hearing he’s dealing with some non-tennis issues that are taking up a lot of oxygen).
