As with the women, this is the final week where players can make moves in the rankings with the goal of getting straight into Roland Garros.
Here’s what that area of the rankings looked like a week ago.

And here’s what it looks like now.

The two who helped themselves the most were Landaluce and Wu.

for Monday, click here.

Jannik Sinner (ITA): No. 2 ============> No. 1
(It might only be for a little while, with Sinner taking this coming week off while Carlos Alcaraz plays Barcelona. But Sinner is back at No. 1 and has won his fourth consecutive Masters 1000 – doing from winning the Sunshine Double and straight to Monte Carlo on the clay, with little adjustment time. An impressive feat).

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 7 ============> No. 5
(The Canadian is back into the top five with his quarterfinal effort in Monte Carlo. That matches his career high, first set last November. He took a pass on Barcelona this week to rest up for the biggies in Madrid and Rome)
Ben Shelton (USA): No. 8 ============> No. 6
(Shelton didn’t play in Monte Carlo, one of many Americans to take a pass. But he moves up anyway after both Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti didn’t defend enough points in Monte Carlo and dropped down).
Valentin Vacherot (FRA): No. 23 ============> No. 17
(What was the Monégasque doing a year ago? He was ranked No. 255 and into Monte Carlo on a wild card. He builds upon his Masters 1000 success by reaching the semifinals in his home event this year, a title he said he would cherish more than a major. He gave Carlos Alcaraz a lot to handle before going out. But not before sealing an improbable spot in the top 20 for the first time, at age 27. He should be seeded at Roland Garros, much to the relief of many in the draw).

Holger Rune (DEN): No. 29 ============> No. 27
(There was a Rune sighting in Monte Carlo. And the 22-year-old, recovering from Achilles tendon surgery, says he plans to return in Hamburg, the week before Roland Garros. That seems awfully quick given the severity of the injury, which occurred in Stockholm last October. He is defending champion’s points in Barcelona this week, so will drop to just inside the top 40 soon enough).

Joao Fonseca (BRA): No. 40 ============> No. 35
(Fonseca has played Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev in his last three tournaments, losing to all three. But he certainly has to have a good idea of where he’s at and how he needs to get better. The loss to Zverev came in his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal in Monte Carlo. So a nice leap for him and he has time to get himself seeded in Paris).

Zizou Bergs (BEL): No. 47 ============> No. 40
(The highlight in Monte Carlo for the Belgian might have been playing a doubles match with Jannik Sinner – they won, but Sinner withdrew before the second round. But he also made the third round in singles, losing to Zverev but rising to just one shy of his career high).
Terence Atmane (FRA): No. 45 ============> No. 41
(A year ago, the 24-year-old was ranked No. 177 and playing Challengers in Asia… He makes the second round in Monte Carlo and moves to a career high. But he’s defending a big Challenger title from Busan a year ago next week, and another in three weeks, so it might be only temporary).

Tomas Machac (CZE): No. 53 ============> No. 47
(Machac, who jumpeed into the top 20 just over a year ago, has been in and out because of injury. He plays in Monte Carlo and makes the third round, losing to Sinner, to get back inside the top 50).
Hubert Hurkacz (POL): No. 74 ============> No. 63 (Hurkacz lost in the third round to Vacherot in Monte Carlo. And he withdrew from Munich due to illness).

Alexander Blockx (BEL): No. 91 ============> No. 71
(The 20-year-old beat Denis Shapovalov and Flavio Cobolli out of th equalifying, before losing in the third round of Monte Carlo. He’s at a new career high, and he’s coming).
Cristian Garin (CHI): No. 109 ============> No. 83
(Timing is everything for the 29-year-old Chilean, who wins a round in Monte Carlo and leaps back up into the top 100 in time for the Roland Garros cutoff).
Dino Prizmic (CRO): No. 106 ============> No. 87
(Another player with good timing, the 20-year-old Croat makes the final of the Monza Challenger and jumps into the top 100 for the first time. Roland Garros, here he comes).

Yibing Wu (CHN): No. 114 ============> No. 102
(The former junior star, injury-ravaged during his career, takes a step and gets back close to the top 100 with a title at the Sarasota Open. En route, he defeated the returning Kei Nishikori).

Carlos Alcaraz (ESP): No. 1 ============> No. 2
(On a difficult, windy day, it was Sinner who handled the conditions better in Monte Carlo, leaving Alcaraz as the runner-up. And as it was a battle for the No. 1 ranking spot, too, it leaves him at No. 2. He can’t pass Sinner even if he wins in Barcelona, as he is defending finalist points and is now 260 points behind. He also is defending a title in Rome. So it will be a battle).

Lorenzo Musetti (ITA): No. 5 ============> No. 9
(It’s hard to argue that Musetti is a top-five player, despite his talent. But after losing to Valentin Vacherot in the second round of Monte Carlo, when he made he final a year ago, he drops down to No. 9. Looming are points from a semifinal in Madrid and another in Rome – 800 points that, if he doesn’t defend them, would drop him another three spots or so. Actually, when you think about it, that’s not the end of the world. He’s played just four tournaments this year).
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP): No. 18 ============> No. 23
(Davidovich Fokina slips out of the top 20 after dropping his points from the Monte Carlo semifinal last year. He’s obviously not healthy; he pulled out of Monte Carlo and is out again in Barcelona this week).
Alexei Popyrin (AUS): No. 43 ============> No. 59
(Popyrin made theh quarters a year ago in Monte Carlo, but got a tough draw and went out to Casper Ruud in the first round this year).

Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE): No. 48 ============> No. 67
(Tough times for the former No. 3 and former Monte Carlo champion, as he exits in his opener in Monte Carlo to Francisco Cerundolo. He’s out of the top 50 for only the second week since exactly six years ago).
Grigor Dimitrov (BUL): No. 93 ============> No. 135
(Like Tsitsipas, Dimitrov has fallen on tough times after injury woes in 2025. It’s showing up in his ranking, after he lost in the first round of Monte Carlo to Tomas Etcheverry. He’s out of the top 100 for the first time since March, 2012. And this is his lowest ranking since Sept. 2010. On the plus side, his hair has never looked more lush).


Liam Draxl (CAN): No. 144 ============> No. 157
(The Canadian was a late entry into the Sarasota Challenger and did have to get through the qualifying. Which he did. But he lost in the first round of the main draw to Nishesh Basavareddy and drops his points from making the final there a year ago).
