The Frenchman has risen four places to a career-high of No. 30 in the FedEx ATP Rankings after beating Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Marin Cilic en route to the Rolex Paris Masters quarter-finals (l. to Raonic). The 22-year-old Humbert started the season at No. 57 and lifted his first ATP Tour title at the ASB Classic in Auckland (d. Paire) on 18 January.
