- Cameron Norrie, for the first time in his career moves into the top 10 players in the world. He is the fourth British player in history to accomplish such feat, after Greg Rudedski (No. 4), Tim Henman (No. 4) and Andy Murray (No. 1).
- Casper Ruud improves his best ranking: now he’s seventh.
- Carlos Alcaraz gains 5 more positions to a ranking high of 11th: + 21 since the start of this season.
- Alexander Zverev is back in the first three; a small consolation for a player who appears to have lost his bearings after his triumph at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, where he displayed an outstanding game quality and seemed poised for an even rosier future.
