Jack Draper Climbs ATP Rankings, Missing Rotterdam Open

Jack Draper has advanced one position to number 12 in the ATP rankings but will not participate in the upcoming Rotterdam Open due to a recent injury comeback. Meanwhile, Felix Auger-Aliassime has ascended two spots to reach sixth place after successfully defending his title in Montpellier following his withdrawal from the Australian Open with cramps during a first-round match against Nuno Borges.

Auger-Aliassime’s victory in Montpellier marked his ninth ATP Tour title and caused a shift that saw Alex de Minaur fall two places to eighth. Both the Canadian and the Australian de Minaur are scheduled to compete at the Rotterdam Open, with Auger-Aliassime facing Alexei Popyrin and de Minaur set to play Arthur Fils.

Shifts Among Top 20 Players and Emerging Career Highs

Within the top 20 rankings, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Andrey Rublev exchanged positions, now placed 14th and 15th respectively. Casper Ruud dropped one ranking spot to 13th after missing the Davis Cup qualifying match in Oslo due to the birth of his child.

Notably, Learner Tien achieved a career-best ranking after advancing to the Australian Open quarterfinals, now positioned 23rd worldwide. Similarly, Valentin Vacherot moved up two places to 25th following his victory at the 2025 ATP Masters 1000 in Shanghai.

Other Noteworthy Ranking Movements and Upcoming Tournaments

Significant rank changes include Luciano Darderi advancing to 22nd and Eliot Spizzirri reaching a career-high 68th position. Adrian Mannarino rose 18 places to 52nd after finishing as the Montpellier runner-up, whereas Denis Shapovalov fell 15 spots to 40th.

The tour schedule now heads to ATP 500 events in Dallas and Rotterdam, alongside an ATP 250 tournament in Buenos Aires. Draper’s withdrawal means increased opportunities for other competitors in Rotterdam as the season progresses through the USA, the Netherlands, and Argentina.
