No. 12 Tommy Paul, +1 (Joint Career High)
The 27-year-old has become the American No. 1 for the first time after he captured his third tour-level title in London. Paul, who beat Lorenzo Musetti in the final, dropped just one set en route to the crown. With his run, he surpassed Taylor Fritz as the American No. 1.

“It’s an honour to become the No. 1 American, but we both have big goals and we want to be in the Top 10 [of the] rankings,” Paul said when asked about rising to No. 1 and Fritz. “That’s where both of us want to be.”

No. 7 Hubert Hurkacz, +2 (Career High)
The Pole has climbed to a career-high No. 7 in the PIF ATP Rankings after advancing to the final at the ATP 500 event in Halle. Hurkacz downed Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals for his fifth Top 10 win on grass, but was unable to overcome World No. 1 Sinner in the title match.

The Chinese star has jumped nine spots after advancing to his first tour-level semi-final of the season in Halle. Zhang overcame Top 5 star Daniil Medvedev in the second round in Germany.

The 23-year-old has soared 23 places following his best result of the season at the Queen’s Club. The Australian came through qualifying to reach the quarter-finals at the ATP 500. Earlier this year, Hijikata reached the last eight at ATP 250 events in Brisbane and Delray Beach.
