The new ATP ranking does not have much to cheer about for the French.
If Gaël Monfils gains a place and becomes 23rd again, he is now the only tricolor representative in the Top 50, for the first time in seventeen years.
This unprecedented situation since February 13, 2005 is explained by the biggest fall of the week in the ATP ranking, that of Ugo Humbert, from 50th to 103rd place.
Eliminated in the second round in Halle by Hubert Hurkacz, future winner of the tournament, Humbert lost half of the 1,000 points he had earned last year by winning the final of the German tournament.
Among the seven other French members of the Top 100, Benjamin Bonzi, 56th (-4), and Arthur Rinderknech, 61st (-6), regress, while Hugo Gaston, 65th (+2), and Richard Gasquet, 69th (+4 ), regained a few places.
At the top, despite his defeat in the final of the Halle tournament, the Russian Daniil Medvedev remains in the lead.
Behind, Alexander Zverev retains his place as runner-up ahead of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who will soon become a father and whose very painful foot at Roland-Garros is much better, he said.
