Paris (AFP)

Russia's Daniil Medvedev, winner of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 on Sunday, made his debut in the top five ATP rankings on Monday for the first time in his career.

The 23-year-old Medvedev now ranks 5th in a ranking dominated by Novak Djokovic, who beat Saturday in the semifinal in Ohio.

It is preceded only by Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Dominic Thiem at one week of the US Open (August 26 - September 8).

The beautiful month of August of the young Russian, already finalist of the Masters 1000 of Montreal a week before Cincinnati, is at the expense of the Japanese Kei Nishikori, who loses two places and back to 7th place.

The biggest progression of the top 20 is the Belgian David Goffin, now 15th (+4 places) after his final in the United States.

On the French side, Richard Gasquet confirms his statistical revival in statistics: he is 34th in the world, an advance of 22 ranks, after his semi-final in Ohio. Gael Monfils is still N.1 French: the Parisian has won two places and is 13th in the world.

Finally, Antoine Hoang, 23, entered the top 100 (98th) for the first time in his career.
