The Argentine has jumped 18 places to No. 33 after he won his maiden tour-level title at the Rio Open presented by Claro. Etcheverry won two dramatic three-set matches on the final Sunday following heavy rain on Saturday. The 26-year-old, who beat Alejandro Tabilo in the final, was competing in his fourth tour-level final. It is the first time Etcheverry has been back inside the Top 40 since February last year.
No. 13 Jakub Mensik, +3 (Career High)
Mensik has climbed to a career-high No. 13 in the PIF ATP Rankings following a semi-final run at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha. The 20-year-old Czech upset World No. 2 Jannik Sinner at the ATP 500 event.
