ATPTour.com looks at the movers in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, 15 July.
[ATP APP] No. 6 Alex de Minaur, +3 (Career High)
De Minaur continued his stellar 2024 season by reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time. The 25-year-old defeated James Duckworth, Jaume Munar and Arthur Fils to improve to 36-12 for the year. He was forced to withdraw prior to his last-eight clash with Novak Djokovic due to a hip injury, but the Australian has nonetheless risen three spots to a career-high No. 6.
No. 16 Lorenzo Musetti, +9
The 22-year-old Musetti enjoyed a dream run to his maiden major semi-final at Wimbledon. The Italian star battled through two five-set matches during his run, including in his quarter-final triumph against Taylor Fritz. Although Djokovic proved too strong in the last four, Musetti has moved up nine spots to No. 16, one shy of his career high.
No. 28 Arthur Fils, +6 (Career High)
Fils boosted his lead in the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah by moving past Dominic Stricker, Hubert Hurkacz and Roman Safiullin before falling to De Minaur at the All England Club. It was the 20-year-old’s maiden fourth-round appearance at a Grand Slam, and he has risen six spots to a career-high No. 28 in the PIF ATP Rankings as a result.
No. 44 Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, +14 (Career High)
Fils’ good friend and countryman Mpetshi Perricard added another strong run to his breakout year by also reaching the Wimbledon fourth round. The Lyon champion overcame Sebastian Korda with the help of 51 aces for his first main-draw win at a major, before also beating Yoshihito Nishioka and Emil Ruusuvuori. The 21-year-old is now a Top 50 player for the first time.
No. 75 Roberto Bautista Agut, +37
The 11-time ATP Tour champion Bautista Agut has continued his rise back up the PIF ATP Rankings thanks to a fourth-round run at SW19. The highlight of the 36-year-old’s run was a five-set triumph against another former Top 10 player, Fabio Fognini, in the third round.
