(Paris) The Pole Hubert Hurkacz, winner in Shanghai of his second Masters 1000, climbs to the gates of the top 10 (11e+6) of an ATP ranking still dominated by the Serbian Novak Djokovic, ahead of the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and the Russian Daniil Medvedev.
By picking up the 7e title of his career on Sunday, Hurkacz, 26, is getting closer to his best ranking (9e) and can still hope to qualify for the Turin Masters, which will bring together the eight best players in the world in a month.
Although beaten by the Pole in the final, the Russian Andrey Rublev also took advantage of his good week to reach 5e world rank (+2) and get a little closer to Turin, the last objective of the season, he said.
As for the podium, it is unchanged, the trio Djokovic-Alcaraz-Medvedev maintaining a comfortable lead over the Italian Jannik Sinner. World number two, Alcaraz, however, missed the opportunity to get closer to the Serbian legend by being eliminated on 3e round of the Shanghai Masters 1000.
Besides this trio, Sinner is also guaranteed to participate in the ATP Finals in Turin.
