At the top of the ATP charts there are no landslides to report after the Davis Cup week, the world rankings are still led by the youngest number one of all time, Carlos Alcaraz from Spain. The first pursuers are Casper Ruud and Rafael Nadal. Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev complete the top 5. Second best German is Oscar Otte as ATP-52.
The first move in the ATP ranking requires a decent amount of backtracking, and Yoshihito Nishioka's improvement to 53rd place gets that honor. Only Corentin Moutet made a big jump within the top 100, moving up 20 places to rank 64 on Monday. The Frenchman triumphed in Szczecin's ATP Challenger event on Sunday.
Thiem and Novak with good Challenger results
In the final, Moutet met Dennis Novak, Austria's number one. After the strong week in the Czech Republic, he can make a big jump in the world rankings, with 111th place, the Lower Austrian is only a few points missing from entering the top 100 of the ATP charts again. Number two in the Alpine Republic remains Jurij Rodionov (ATP-136.) ahead of Filip Misolic (ATP-145.).
Behind Dominic Thiem is making up more and more ground. The former world number three is back in the top 200 after reaching the final at the ATP Challenger event in Rennes. Thiem made up a total of 34 places and is the new world number 184. With Gerald Melzer and Sebastian Ofner, two other Austrians can be found behind Thiem in the top 200.
