Musetti cracks the Top 5, Mover of Week

  • Posted: Jan 12, 2026

The ATP Tour season began with the United Cup and two ATP 250 events in Brisbane and Hong Kong. Hubert Hurkacz helped guide Poland to glory in Sydney, while Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik both lifted titles. Lorenzo Musetti also broke the Top 5 for the first time.

For the first time this year, ATPTour.com looks at the movers of the week in the PIF ATP Rankings, as of Monday 12 January.

[NO 1 CLUB]

No. 5 Lorenzo Musetti , +2 (Career High)
Musetti has surged into the Top 5 for the first time in his career following a run to the final in Hong Kong. He is the third Italian to achieve the feat, joining Jannik Sinner and Adriano Panatta.

It is also the first time that there are two Italians in the Top 5 together in the history of the PIF ATP Rankings (since 1973), with Sinner currently No. 2. Musetti earned three victories at the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open but was unable to defeat Bublik in the final.

Musetti, a two-time champion on the ATP Tour and nine-time finalist, cracked the Top 100 for the first time in March 2021 and then broke into the Top 10 in May 2025. He will aim to climb further when he next competes at the Australian Open later this month.

No. 10 Alexander Bublik, +1 (Career High)
Bublik captured his ninth ATP Tour title and fifth since June following an impressive week in Hong Kong. The 28-year-old is making his Top 10 debut in the PIF ATP Rankings, becoming the first Kazakhstani man to crack that milestone.

“The only goal for this season was to achieve the Top 10 and in the first week I have won the title and I am into the Top 10,” Bublik said after winning Hong Kong. “If you had told me that last April I would never have believed you. But it is a pleasure and I hope to continue in the same way.”

No. 12 Daniil Medvedev, +1
Medvedev has climbed one spot to No. 12 after he won his 22nd tour-level title at the Brisbane International presented by ANZ. The former World No. 1 dropped just one set at the ATP 250.

No. 53 Hubert Hurkacz, +30
Hurkacz has jumped 30 places after he helped lead Poland to the United Cup title. The 28-year-old earned four singles wins at the mixed-teams event, including Top 10 triumphs against Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz.

No. 95 Alexander Blockx, +20 (Career High)
The 20-year-old Belgian started the new season in style at the ATP Challenger event in Canberra, where he beat #NextGenATP Spaniard Rafael Jodar in the final. Blockx, who is into the Top 100 for the first time, reached the title match at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF in December.
