(Paris) Winner of his first Masters 1000 in Toronto on Sunday, the Italian Jannik Sinner obtained the best ATP ranking of his career on Monday, in sixth place, while the reborn French veteran Gaël Monfils jumped 65 places. (211th).
Among the five best players in the world, starting with the trio Carlos Alcaraz-Novak Djokovic-Daniil Medvedev, only the Dane Holger Rune knows an evolution: he is now 5th (1) thanks to the slide of the Norwegian Casper Ruud (7th , -2).
Between the two Scandinavians comes Jannik Sinner who, at 21, won the main title of his young career on Sunday – the 8th overall – at the Masters 1000 in Toronto.
His opponent in the final, the Australian Alex de Minaur, also made a good move in the standings, since he is now 12th (6), but it is now the top 5 that the Italian has in his sights. The 5th, Rune, is only 65 points ahead of him, and the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (4th) less than 400.
Lower, the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime, eliminated very early last week in front of his audience by the modest Australian Max Purcell, continues to unscrew him (14th, -2).
In Toronto, the public was on the contrary enthusiastic about the comeback of the spectacular French player, Gaël Monfils, 36 years old. The former world number six, missing from the circuit for more than a year and facing a multitude of injuries, confirmed his return by reaching the quarter-finals after having notably released Tsitsipas.
Monfils, who only lost to future winner Jannik Sinner, is still very low in the standings (211th) but his gain of 65 places fuels hopes for the rest of the North American tour, in Cincinnati then at US Open.
