PARIS, France – Defeated in the final of the Almaty tournament on Sunday, his first career on the ATP circuit, Quebecer Gabriel Diallo gained 31 places in the latest update of the world rankings on Monday.
The 23-year-old thus broke into the world top 100 and is now ranked 87th. He thus becomes the second highest ranked Canadian behind Félix Auger-Aliassime, who returned to the top 20 afterward thanks to an increase of two places. Denis Shapovalov follows at 95th level, a drop of three ranks.
The top 10 of the ATP rankings, still dominated by the Italian Jannik Sinner, assured of ending the year world no. 1, remains almost unchanged with the exception of an exchange of places between the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (9th) and the Australian Alex De Minaur (10th).
The stability of the ranking is explained by the absence of the best players in the three smaller tournaments on the circuit played last week (Stockholm, Almaty, Antwerp) while Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz (2nd), Novak Djokovic (4th) and Daniil Medvedev (5th) took part in an exhibition in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), which did not award any ATP points.
Dimitrov, beaten in the final by the American Tommy Paul (12th) in Stockholm, therefore progresses one place (9th) and passes De Minaur (10th), beaten in the quarter-finals in Antwerp by the Frenchman Hugo Gaston, who signed the first victory of his career against a top-10.
