Berrettini Soars To Career-High, Mover Of The Week

Spoiler:

ATPTour.com looks at the top Movers of the Week in the ATP Rankings, as of Monday, 29 April 2019

No. 37 (Career-High) Matteo Berrettini, +18
Despite arriving in Budapest on a five-match tour-level losing streak, Matteo Berrettini battled his way through the field at the Hungarian Open to claim his second ATP Tour title. The unseeded Italian upset seventh seed Mikhail Kukushkin and Rio Open presented by Claro champion Laslo Djere en route to the championship match, where he rallied from a set down to beat Filip Krajinovic. The 23-year-old, who competes at the BMW Open by FWU this week, leaps 18 places to a career-high No. 37 in the ATP Rankings. Read More.


No. 29 (Career-High) Laslo Djere, +4
Djere produced another impressive result on clay in 2019 with a run to the last four at the Hungarian Open. The 23-year-old defeated Ernests Gulbis, Jannik Sinner and fourth seed Nikoloz Basilashvili to reach the semi-finals, where he fell in straight sets to eventual champion Berrettini. With a 12-9 record this year, the Serbian rises four spots to a career-high No. 29 in the ATP Rankings.

No. 70 Nicolas Jarry, +11
The 23-year-old reached his first tour-level quarter-final of the season in dramatic fashion at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. After a three-set victory against Marcel Granollers in the first round, Jarry scored back-to-back final-set tie-break wins over the two most recent winners of the Nitto ATP Finals. The lucky loser saved one match point to stun World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, before eliminating Grigor Dimitrov to reach the last eight in Barcelona. Jarry jumps 11 places to No. 70 in the ATP Rankings.


No. 77 Filip Krajinovic, +28
The Belgrade resident defeated two seeded opponents at the Hungarian Open to reach his second tour-level championship match. After overcoming Andreas Seppi in the first round, Krajinovic posted victories against eighth seed Radu Albot and second seed Borna Coric to advance to the final four. The 27-year-old dropped four games to beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the semi-finals, before a three-set loss to Berrettini in the final. Krajinovic soars 28 positions to No. 77 in the ATP Rankings.

Djokovic, Federer & Nadal Lead Packed Race Into 'Moving Season'

Spoiler:

Only 850 points separate No. 1 Djokovic and sixth-placed Medvedev in the Race
It is still early in 2019, but with the top of the ATP Race To London as tight as ever at this point of the year, ‘moving season’ will be even more important.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is trying to finish year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings for a record-tying sixth time (also Pete Sampras), currently leads the Race with 2,405 points, mostly thanks to his victory at the Australian Open (2,000 points). But with a maximum of 6,000 points available at four tournaments alone from the Mutua Madrid Open through Wimbledon (Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon), there will be plenty of opportunities for players to stake their claim for the top spot or make a move to position themselves to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals.

The gap between first-placed Djokovic (2,405) and sixth-placed Daniil Medvedev (1,555) is just 850 points. In recent years, it has not been nearly that close.

ATP Race To London Standings

Player Points
1. Novak Djokovic 2,405
2. Roger Federer 2,280
3. Rafael Nadal 2,145
4. Dominic Thiem 1,735
5. Stefanos Tsitsipas 1,595
6. Daniil Medvedev 1,555*Standings as of 29 April 2019
Last year before Madrid, Race leader Roger Federer led second-placed Juan Martin del Potro by 990 points. In 2017, first-placed Federer led No. 2 Nadal by 2,455 points. In 2015 and 2016 the gap between the first two players in the Race was 2,715 and 2,690 points, respectively. So whereas there is typically a bigger gap at the top of the Race, one big tournament can make a major difference for a number of the ATP Tour’s stars.
Closely following current Race leader Djokovic are Miami champion Federer (2,280), Monte-Carlo and Barcelona semi-finalist Nadal (2,145), Indian Wells titlist Dominic Thiem (1,735), reigning Next Gen ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitsipas (1,595) and Medvedev (1,555).

A year ago, three of those players made a significant charge during ‘moving season’ from Madrid through Wimbledon. Nadal added 3,900 points to climb from third place to top spot in the Race. Djokovic, who entered Madrid 76th in the Race, earned 3,065 points to ascend to fifth place. Thiem, who made the final at Madrid and Roland Garros, added 1,980 points to charge from 11th to sixth.

Notable Points Earned From Madrid Through Wimbledon (2018)

Player Points
Novak Djokovic 3,065
Rafael Nadal 3,900
Alexander Zverev 2,050
Roger Federer 990
Dominic Thiem 1,980
What will give some of the Race’s leaders confidence is that not only are there a lot of points up for grabs over the next two months, but they are already significantly ahead of where they were last year.

Djokovic might not have advanced past the quarter-finals in his past three tournaments, but he still has 2,405 points in the Race, which is 2,115 points more than he had at this point last season. Thiem has 720 more points compared to last year and Tsitsipas has 914 more points.

Federer will also have a big chance to make a move as he gets set to compete on clay for the first time since 2016. The Swiss is scheduled to play clay-court events at Madrid and Roland Garros instead of just competing on grass ahead of the North American hard-court swing.

This stretch will also give players who are off to a slower start this season a chance to claw their way back into Race contention. Reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion Alexander Zverev, after losing in the Munich quarter-finals, has just 690 points this year. But in 2018 he claimed 2,050 points from Madrid through Wimbledon. Marin Cilic is trying to reach London for the fifth time, but he is currently 82nd in the Race with 245 points.

The top of the Race may be open now. But after 'moving season', the charge for year-end No. 1 should become clearer.

Kto by się tego spodziewał...

Za to Thiem już jest prawie pewny rozstawienia nr 4 na RG, chyba że Zverev wygra turniej a Austriak odpadnie przed półfinałem.

[Barty]

Jeśli Nishikori nie zajdzie dalej niż Tsitsipas, to Grek wchodzi na 6. miejsce. W przypadku awansu do finału każdy z nich wyprzedza Zvereva.

Tsitsipas Continues His Rise, Mover Of The Week

Spoiler:

ATPTour.com looks at the top Movers of the Week in the ATP Rankings, as of Monday, 13 May 2019

No. 7 (Career High) Stefanos Tsitsipas, +2
The 20-year-old #NextGenATP star continued his rise up the ATP Rankings to a career-high No. 7 after reaching his second ATP Masters 1000 final of his career at the Mutua Madrid Open (l. to Djokovic). A winner at the Millennium Estoril Open (d. Cuevas) the previous week, Tsitsipas beat defending champion Alexander Zverev in the Madrid quarter-finals and five-time former titlist Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals, before his eight-match winning streak came to an end. Earlier in the year, the Greek lifted the Open 13 Provence (d. Kukushkin) trophy and also advanced to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships final (l. to Federer).

No. 4 (Joint Career High) Dominic Thiem, +1
The 25-year-old Austrian begins his fourth week at No. 4 in the ATP Rankings, a position he first held on 11 June 2017 following his first runner-up finish at Roland Garros. Thiem beat Reilly Opelka, Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters winner Fabio Fognini and saved two match points to beat three-time former champion Roger Federer in the Madrid quarter-finals. He has been an ever-present member of the Top 10 since 6 June 2016.

No. 29 Stan Wawrinka, +5
The 33-year-old Swiss, who began the year at No. 66 in the ATP Rankings, is now up to No. 29 after reaching the quarter-finals of an ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the first time since August 2018 at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. The former World No. 3 beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert, Guido Pella and Kei Nishikori prior to losing to Nadal. He is now back in the Top 30 for the first time since 28 May 2018 (at No. 30).

No. 41 (Career High) Hubert Hurkacz, +11
The 22-year-old Pole qualified for Madrid — for his sixth appearance at an Masters 1000 tournament — and reached the third round, where he lost to defending champion Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Hurkacz has risen from No. 86 at the start of the year to a career-high No. 41.

No. 75 Ricardas Berankis, +25
The 28-year-old Lithuanian was the biggest riser in the Top 100 over the past week, soaring 25 spots on the back of winning his 12th ATP Challenger Tour title at the Busan Open Challenger (d. Harris) in South Korea. Berankis was at a career-high No. 50 on 23 May 2016.

How Fognini Can Crack The Top 10 In Rome

Spoiler:

Monte-Carlo champion trying to become third Italian to achieve the feat
Fabio Fognini made Italian history at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, becoming the first player from his country to lift an ATP Masters 1000 trophy. And now, just weeks later, the World No. 12 will have a chance to become just the third Italian man to crack the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings. Furthermore, Fognini can become the oldest player to reach the milestone for the first time since 38-year-old Ken Rosewall and 35-year-old Rod Laver on 23 August 1973, the first week of the ATP Rankings.

Corrado Barazzutti was the last Italian in the elite group the week of 22 January 1979. The only other Italian to break into the Top 10 was Adriano Panatta, who ascended as high as World No. 4 (24 August 1976).

Italians To Crack The Top 15

Player Career-High
Adriano Panatta 4
Corrado Barazzutti 7
Fabio Fognini 12
Paolo Bertolucci 12
This week, though, Fognini will have an opportunity to join them if he performs well enough at his home ATP Masters 1000 tournament, the Internazionali BNL d'Italia. The 31-year-old, who turns 32 on 24 May, is tied for his career-best ATP Ranking of No. 12 (2,920), just 105 points behind No. 10 Marin Cilic (3,025).

In Rome, Cilic is defending 360 points from his semi-final appearance last year, while Fognini made the quarter-finals in 2018 for 180 points. So Fognini is beginning the tournament in better position than the Croat. But American John Isner, who is ranked 11th with 2,950 points, is only defending 10 points. Even though Isner will not be competing in Rome as he recovers from a stress fracture in his left foot, that will put him ahead of both Fognini and Cilic once points dropping this week are factored in.

So for Fognini to have a chance at becoming the third Italian man to crack the Top 10, he will need to make at least the semi-finals to have more points than Isner. If he does so, Fognini then would just have to match or exceed Cilic's result.

World No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro, who is still recovering from a knee injury he suffered last October, has only played two tournaments this season, competing on clay for the first time last week at the Mutua Madrid Open. He reached the quarter-finals at the Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com in February.

The Argentine has 810 points to defend through Roland Garros, of which he will need to defend 720 points on Paris’ terre battue. The ‘Tower of Tandil’ only has a 225-point lead over Fognini, so even if the Italian does not make a breakthrough this week, he will have an opening to pass both Del Potro and Cilic at Roland Garros.

Points To Defend Through Roland Garros

Player ATP Ranking Pts Pts To Defend With Pts Through RG Removed
No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro 3,145 810 2,335
No. 10 Marin Cilic 3,025 720 2,305
No. 11 John Isner 2,950 235 2,715
No. 12 Fabio Fognini 2,920 450 2,470
Fognini is 31, and he turns 32 in less than two weeks. From the current Top 10, the oldest player to break into the elite group for the first time was Kevin Anderson, who did so in October 2015 as a 29-year-old. The next oldest is Kei Nishikori, who did so as a 24-year-old. So while Fognini has been ranked inside the Top 50 since September 2012 and first reached that milestone in April 2011, he has chipped away to move to the brink of the Top 10.

Although Laver and Rosewall technically 'cracked' the Top 10 at an older age than Fognini would, that is a function of the first ATP Rankings being released on 23 August 1973. Both Laver and Rosewall won several Grand Slam titles by their early 20s.

Age When Current Top 10 First Broke Into Top 10


Player Age
Rafael Nadal 18
Novak Djokovic 19
Juan Martin del Potro 20
Alexander Zverev 20
Roger Federer 20
Stefanos Tsitsipas 20

Nadal Turns Up Heat In Year-End No. 1 Battle With Djokovic

Spoiler:

Spaniard earns 1,000 ATP Ranking points with Rome title
Rafael Nadal did not just win his first title of 2019 on Sunday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. By defeating top seed Novak Djokovic in the final, the 32-year-old Spaniard also turned up the heat on the Serbian in the battle for the year-end No. 1 ATP Ranking.

With the 1,000 ATP Ranking points that Nadal (3,505) earned with his triumph at the Foro Italico, the nine-time Rome champion now trails first-placed Djokovic (4,005) by just 500 points in the ATP Race To London, which serves as a barometer for the chase for the year-end No. 1 ATP Ranking. If Djokovic had emerged victorious, he would have taken a 1,300-point lead in the Race.

Watch Rome Final Highlights:


On the Parisian terre battue, Nadal could take the Race lead regardless of how Djokovic performs by lifting his 12th Coupe des Mousquetaires. Since the Roland Garros winner earns 800 more points than the finalist, Nadal would move into first even if Djokovic is his opponent in the final.

So although Djokovic's grip on the top spot in the ATP Rankings is in no immediate danger because defending champion Nadal cannot gain any additional points at Roland Garros this year, the battle for year-end No. 1 is red hot. And Djokovic believes his rival is the player to watch at the season’s second Grand Slam championship.

“Nadal [is the] number one favourite, without a doubt, then everyone else,” Djokovic said.

Just a week ago, the tennis world was left wondering about Nadal’s status. He had not yet lifted a trophy on the year, his longest early-season trophy drought since 2004, when he captured his maiden tour-level crown at Sopot in August. The World No. 2 arrived in the Italian capital without making a clay-court final in three tries; all semi-final appearances in Monte-Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid.

But Nadal now has momentum heading into Roland Garros. It may not become clear until later in the year when Djokovic begins to drop more points off his ATP Ranking, but Nadal is making a push to challenge for the year-end No. 1 spot.

Schwartzman Returns To Top 20, Mover Of The Week

Spoiler:

ATPTour.com looks at the top Movers of the Week in the ATP Rankings, as of Monday, 20 May 2019

No. 20 Diego Schwartzman, +4
The Argentine did not drop a set en route to his maiden ATP Masters 1000 semi-final at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome. Schwartzman defeated Yoshihito Nishioka, Albert Ramos-Vinolas and Matteo Berrettini, before shocking Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals. After falling to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in three sets in the last four, the 26-year-old re-enters the Top 20 of the ATP Rankings, at No. 20, for the first time since 24 February.

No. 6 (Career High) Stefanos Tsitsipas, +1
For the sixth time this season, Tsitsipas rises to a career-high ATP Ranking. After a runner-up finish at the Mutua Madrid Open (l. to Djokovic), the #NextGenATP Greek defeated home favourites Jannik Sinner and Fabio Fognini en route to the semi-finals in Rome. Tsitsipas did not manage to join Novak Djokovic (2011 Madrid & Rome) as the second man to defeat Rafael Nadal in back-to-back clay-court tournaments, but jumps one spot to No. 6 in the ATP Rankings.


No. 26 Fernando Verdasco, +12
The 35-year-old reached his fourth quarter-final in Rome with three Top 30 victories. Verdasco outlasted Kyle Edmund, World No. 4 Dominic Thiem and Karen Khachanov in three sets, before a straight-sets loss to eventual champion Nadal. The Spaniard soars 12 positions to No. 26 in the ATP Rankings, his joint-highest position since 6 July 2014 (No. 24).

Khachanov, Fognini & Medvedev Seek Top 10 Breakthrough At Roland Garros

Spoiler:

Find out how close this trio is to achieving the feat in Paris
The ATP Tour’s best are ready to roll at Roland Garros, the year’s second Grand Slam. While everyone will be chasing the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the tournament is especially important to several players who are trying to crack the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings for the first time.

With World No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro dropping 720 points from making the 2018 semi-finals, and World No. 10 John Isner, who will not be competing in Paris, dropping 180 points since he made the fourth round last year, it is possible that two players could make their Top 10 debuts after this event.

Russians Karen Khachanov and Daniil Medvedev as well as Italian Fabio Fognini are all on the verge of achieving the milestone, and they could break through with big performances on the Parisian terre battue.

ATP Ranking Points Entering #RG19 & Points Dropping From 2018

Player Points Entering RG Points Dropping Points Remaining
9. Juan Martin del Potro 3,235 720 2,515
10. John Isner 2,895 180 2,715
11. Karen Khachanov 2,800 180 2,620
12. Fabio Fognini 2,785 180 2,605
13. Marin Cilic 2,710 360 2,350
14. Daniil Medvedev 2,625 10 2,615
While Fognini, the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters champion, is currently No. 11 in the ATP Rankings, he will fall behind Khachanov on Monday due to points dropping off from reaching the Geneva semi-finals last year. He did not compete this week, thus will not add any points.

Both players advanced to the fourth round in Paris last year, so even after considering points they are dropping, Khachanov will carry a 15-point advantage over Fognini into Roland Garros.

Medvedev, who was outside the Top 50 this time last year, is also well positioned. The Russian lost to Lucas Pouille in the first round in 2018, so he will only drop only 10 points. Therefore, he will be 10 points ahead of Fognini and five behind Khachanov when taking points dropped into consideration.

With Isner unable to add any points as he continues to recover from the injury he suffered in the Miami final, the trio trying to crack the Top 10 will need to reach at least the fourth round to pass the American. And if Del Potro fails to advance to the fourth round, Khachanov, Fognini and Medvedev will all be ranked ahead of the Argentine after Roland Garros. So pending the results of players ranked below them, all three players have a legitimate chance to reach the milestone.

Fognini is trying to become the third Italian man to crack the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings. Furthermore, the nine-time ATP Tour champion can become the oldest player to reach the milestone for the first time since 38-year-old Ken Rosewall and 35-year-old Rod Laver on 23 August 1973, when the ATP Rankings were first established.

Corrado Barazzutti was the last Italian in the elite group the week of 22 January 1979. The only other Italian to break into the Top 10 was Adriano Panatta, who ascended as high as World No. 4 (24 August 1976).

The Russians are trying to become the first men from their country to crack the Top 10 since Mikhail Youzhny the week of 17 January 2011. If both Khachanov and Medvedev break into the Top 10, it will be the first time that two Russians are in the elite group since the week of 11 October 2010, when Nikolay Davydenko was No. 6 and Youzhny No. 8.

The Stat To Watch As Djokovic & Nadal's Year-End No. 1 Battle Heats Up

Spoiler:

Find out who has excelled in breaking serve directly after losing serve
You do not truly break serve until you consolidate it with a hold in the next game. And it’s no surprise which two players have been the best on the ATP Tour in 2019 at preventing that from happening.

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have proven better at breaking back immediately after losing serve than any other players. Their ability to keep opponents from extending an advantage could prove crucial as the battle for the year-end No. 1 ATP Ranking begins to heat up at Roland Garros.

Nadal leads the way in return games won after getting broken, doing so 38.9 per cent of the time so far this season. The Spaniard also leads the ATP Tour in return games won overall at 37.6 per cent, according to Infosys ATP Scores & Stats. But he has buckled down even more right after getting broken.

2019's Best Players At Breaking Back Immediately After Losing Serve (min. 20 times broken)

Player # Times Broken # Times Broken Back Broken Back %
1. Rafael Nadal 36 14 38.9%
2. Novak Djokovic 50 18 36%
3. David Ferrer 35 12 34.3%
4. Cristian Garin 64 21 32.8%
5. Pedro Sousa 25 8 32%
The same could be said about Djokovic, who has broken back after losing his serve 36 per cent of the time in 2019. But while Nadal has only improved his rate of return games won after dropping serve compared to return games overall by about three per cent, Djokovic has done so by around eight per cent. Djokovic currently ranks fourth on the ATP Tour by winning 33.1 per cent of his return games.

Only four players in the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings are among the 35 best at breaking after losing serve. The two players outside of Nadal and Djokovic are World No. 7 Kei Nishikori and reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion Alexander Zverev. Nishikori is in sixth place (30.9%), while Zverev is 13th (26.1%). Nishikori has won 26.5 per cent of his return games overall this year, while Zverev has claimed 28.7 per cent of them.

Entering Roland Garros, Roger Federer ranked 22nd in return games won in 2019 at 24.3 per cent. But the 37-year-old Swiss has only broken after losing his serve 19 per cent of the time, ranking outside the Top 50 on the ATP Tour.

How The Top 5 Has Performed Returning After Getting Broken In 2019

Player (by ATP Ranking) # Times Broken # Times Broken Back Broken Back % Broken Back Rank
1. Novak Djokovic 50 18 36% 2
2. Rafael Nadal 36 14 38.9% 1
3. Roger Federer 21 4 19.0% 56
4. Dominic Thiem 53 12 22.6% 32
5. Alexander Zverev 69 18 26.1% 13
One of the breakthrough stars of this clay-court season has been Chilean Cristian Garin, who captured his first two ATP Tour titles in Houston and Munich. The 22-year-old has won 28.1 per cent of his return games this season, 12th-best. But Garin has stepped it up even more after getting broken, winning 32.8 per cent of those return games, fourth-best among players broken more than 20 times this year.

Another player who has played the best tennis of his career in 2019 and has excelled in this category is 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals qualifier Hubert Hurkacz. The Polish star, who will try to upset Djokovic in the first round at Roland Garros, was 57th on the ATP Tour entering the week in return games won at 18.5 per cent. But when he’s been broken, he has broken right back 23.9 per cent of the time.

Did You Know?
Nadal could take the lead in the ATP Race To London if he lifts his 12th Coupe des Mousquetaires in Paris, as he trails Djokovic by just 500 points after his victory in Rome.

Nie wiem, czy wiecie, ale Karen wirtualnie jest w Top10. Może jeszcze stamtąd wylecieć m.in. wtedy, gdy przegra dziś z DelPo i Fognini pokona Zvereva. Włoch zresztą również może zadebiutować w Top10, nawet, jak dzisiaj przegra.

Z kolei Stan powraca do top20. No chyba że Struff zrobi finał i Paire pokona Nadala.

Jest już pewny Top-10 Karen.

Co ciekawe, jeżeli Kei przegra z Nadalem, a Thiem z Djokoviciem (obie opcje są bardzo prawdopodobne), Tsistipas będzie w Top-5.

Jest już pewny Top-10 Karen.

I to prawdopodobnie będzie w najgorszym przypadku 9-ty, chyba że Wawrinka wygra turniej. Sam potrzebuje finału, żeby wskoczyć jeszcze wyżej.

Co ciekawe, jeżeli Kei przegra z Nadalem, a Thiem z Djokoviciem (obie opcje są bardzo prawdopodobne), Tsistipas będzie w Top-5.

W Race jest 4+ty, także nie powinno to w sumie zaskakiwać w połowie sezonu. Co więcej, jakby dziś Zverev nie wygrał z Fogiem, to Grek byłby jeszcze oczko wyżej po RG.

Fajnie, że młodzi są wysoko, ale bardzo prawdopodobne, że różnica pomiędzy Wielką Trójką a resztą tylko się powiększy.

[Barty]

Czyli wiemy już, że po RG w Top-10 zadebiutują Chaczanow (9. pozycja, chyba że zrobi finał) i Fognini (10. mniejsce).

Co ciekawe, Fedal to również mecz o to, kto będzie numerem 2 po tym turnieju.
