Frenchman Ugo Humbert climbed four places to a new career-high ranking of No 14 on Monday, reward for a brilliant week in Dubai when he romped to the title.
The left-hander beat Gael Monfils, Andy Murray, Hubert Hurkacz, Daniil Medvedev and then, in the final, Alexander Bublik to clinch his second title of 2024.
The 25-year-old, who is now 6-0 in finals, is joined in the top 20 by Bublik, who also hits a new career-high at No 20 itself.
Ruud back in top 10
Casper Ruud is back in the top 10, climbing two places to No 9 after reaching the final in Acapulco. He leapfrogs Alex de Minaur, who fell one place despite beating Ruud to defend his Acapulco title (he could only match his points from the previous year while Ruud gained 285pts).
Further down the rankings, Briton Jack Draper also claimed a new career-high ranking of 37, up 13 places after making the semis in Acapulco. Alejandro Tabilo is up 12 to 39 after making the final in Santiago. Sebastian Baez is up two to 19.
