MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of Nov. 17, 2025

The ATP season officially wraps up with the end of the ATP Finals.

But of course, tennis carries on. There are SEVEN Challenger events this coming week alone. And still a lot to play for, for those who are on the bubble for getting into the Australian Open main draw or qualifying.

Carlos Alcaraz is officially the year-end No. 1. And Jannik Sinner is now a back-to-back ATP Finals champion. He has a 31-match winning streak indoors, and didn’t lose a set in winning those two titles.

And top Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime is into the top five for the first time in his career.

 For the complete, updated ATP rankings for Monday, click here.

 

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 8 ==============> No. 5
(It’s a career high, and a year-end top-five finish for Auger-Aliassime, who made the semifinals at the ATP Finals after arriving in Turin not even knowing if he would make the field. Slow start, great finish to the season for the 25-year-old).

Cristian Garin (CHI): No. 105 ==============> No. 80
(Garin, the former No. 17 back in 2021,  is one of a number of South Americans who returned home to play the fall Challenger clay-court season there, to pick up enough points to hopefully get to Australia and pick up a main-draw payday. Looks like he’ll make it easily, after winning the Montevideo Challenger).

Ignacio Buse (PER): No. 110 ==============> No. 105
(The 21-year-old from Peru was looking for a breakthrough into the top 100 for the first time, in the final in Montevideo. He couldn’t quite get over the line, but is still at a new career best).

Elias Ymer (SWE): No. 191 ==============> No. 169
(Ymer continues on the right track, as he makes the final at the Kobe Challenger).

Alex Bolt (AUS): No. 238 ==============> No. 188
(The 32-year-old wins the Brisbane Challenger, two weeks after goig from the qualifying to the final in another one in Jingshan, China. He’s played a full season without really getting anywhere, so hopefully the payoff comes soon).

Daniil Glinka (EST): No. 247 ==============> No. 191
(Glinka, 25, wins the Drummondville Challenger and moves to a new career high. He’s played all over the planet this season and it’s paid off; he was just inside the top 500 at the start of 2025. This will improve the level of tournaments he can play tremendously in 2026 – starting with his Grand Slam debut in the AO qualifying in January)

Murphy Cassone (USA): No. 245 ==============> No. 211
(Cassone makes the final of the Champaign Challenger. He hit a career best of No. 172 just before the US Open, but hasn’t been able to defend some of his points on the American Challenger circuit this fall).

Kukushkin at the Australian Open in January.

Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ): No. 317 ==============> No. 294
(Kukushkin, now 37, made the quarterfinals at the Lyon Challenger out of the qualifying and is back into the top 300. His career high came in 2019, and he turned pro in … 2006. It was Kukushkin’s 29th tournament of the year, and one of only a handful of times h was able to win back-to-back matches).

Stefan Kozlov (USA): No. 458 ==============> No. 306
(Kozlov, now 27, is a former Orange Bowl junior champion and highly touted prospect whose road to the pros has been littered with potholes. He’s back for another go, and he wins the Champaign Challenger. Kozlov, who turned pro in 2013, got OH so close to the top 100 back in 2022, getting to No. 103).

Liam Broady (GBR): No. 391 ==============> No. 310
(Broady, 31, made the Lyon Challenger final out of the qualifying, losing to Jan-Lennard Struff but beating some solid players along the way. After finally sneaking into the top 100 a couple of years ago, injuries hit. He’s been playing the lowest levels of ITF most of thee year, and started at No. 788).

Cedrik-Marcel Stebe (GER): No. 395 ==============> No. 347
(Stebe, 35, made the semis at the Champaign Challenger and made a move. His career high ranking was all the way back in early 2012, nearly 14 years ago, after which he had hip surgery. A few years later he had a right wrist surgery. And he hadn’t played since the 2023 Australian Open until he showed up again early this year).

Duncan Chan (CAN): No. 1440 ==============> No. 650
(The 20-year-old Canadian wild card, who goes to TCU, runs all the way to the final at the Drummondville Challenger and lops nearly 800 spots off his ranking. He’s now headed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Tennis Championship in Florida, where he’s the No. 2 seed).

 

Félix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) (No. 5)
Ignacio Buse (PER) (No. 105)
Daniil Glinka (EST) (No. 191)
Dan Added (FRA) (No. 194)
Tiago Pereira (POR) (No. 260)
Dan Martin (CAN) (No. 419)

 

Ben Shelton (USA): No. 5 ==============> No. 9
(Shelton’s stay at No. 5 in the rankings, caused by the removal of the points earned by other players at last year’s ATP Finals, was shortlived as a number of players had points added back. Still, he finishes the year in the top 10).

Raphael Collignon (BEL): No. 74 ==============> No. 86
(Collignon drops a bit from his career high as he doesn’t play last week, and loses his points from winning the Lyon Challenger a year ago. Still, he’ll make his Australian Open main draw debut in January).

Alexander Blockx (BEL): No. 101 ==============> No. 116
(Tough drop for the 20-year-old Belgian at the worst time, just as he hit his career high last week. as he loses his points from winning the Kobe Challenger a year ago while he didn’t play last week).

Basavareddy in Brisbane in January.

Nishesh Basavareddy (USA): No. 139 ==============> No. 155
(The 20-year-old American dipped into the top 100 early this summer, following some impressive results during the Australian summer. But he’s had a lot of opening-round losses, and he’s not playing the American Challenger circuit this fall. A year ago, he went 23-6 with a title and two finals during that swing. This year, he tried his luck on the ATP circuit in Asia, and it didn’t go all that well. Maybe not great planning, but also part of the transition to the big leagues. It looks like he’ll still make the Next-Gen finals).

Tristan Boyer (USA): No. 144 ==============> No. 180
(Boyer is another American who started the year off splendidly. He qualified for his first major in Australia and won a round. But he, too, had trouble winning matches at the ATP level. Boyer went down to South American to grind on the clay last fall, and it worked out well for him. He returned this y ear, but lost in th first round in his last two tournaments, and so his ranking is dropping back down again).

Boyer in Melbourne in January, after he qualified for his first Grand Slam main draw.

Alexis Galarneau (CAN): No. 189 ==============> No. 203
(Galarneau lost in the first round of the Lyon Challenger and the previous week in Helsinki, as he remained in Europe rather than play closr to home. After all that work this year, he ends up basically where he began 2025: just outside the top 200).
