Medvedev, who defeated Jannik Sinner 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 in Sunday’s final at the ABN Amro Open, rises three spots to No 8, pushing Hubert Hurkacz out of the top 10, to No 11.
For his efforts in Rotterdam, Sinner jumps two spots from 14 to 12.

Tallon Griekspoor rises to a career-high ranking of 40 after reaching the semi-finals at Rotterdam. The 26-year-old jumps 21 spots to blast through his previous career high of 44.
Peru’s Juan Pablo Varillas, the fifth man from his country to rank inside the top 100, comes in at a career-high No 81 after reaching the semi-finals in Buenos Aires. Varillas knocked off Dominic Thiem and Lorenzo Musetti in successive matches after qualifying in Argentina to reach his first career semi-final.
Mmoh better again
