No. 5 Holger Rune, +1 (Career High)
The 20-year-old’s climb up the Pepperstone ATP Rankings hit new heights on Monday when he cracked the Top 5 for the first time. The Dane broke into the Top 100 for the first time in January 2022, before he made his Top 10 debut last November after winning the Rolex Paris Masters. Rune has captured four tour-level titles and will aim to add to his collection at this week’s Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.

No. 6 Jannik Sinner, +2 (Career High)
The 21-year-old has also jumped to a career-high No. 6 after becoming just the second Italian to win a Masters 1000 title (also Fabio Fognini, Monte-Carlo 2019). Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur in the Toronto final to improve to 18-4 at Masters 1000 events this season. He is also the youngest Canadian Masters 1000 champion since then-20-year-old Alexander Zverev in 2017.

No. 12 Alex de Minaur, +6 (Career High)
The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough Masters 1000 run in Toronto, where he reached his first final at that level. The Australian defeated seeds Cameron Norrie, Taylor Fritz and Daniil Medvedev before falling against Sinner. De Minaur is up six spots to No. 12 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings.

No. 23 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, +14 (Career High)
The Spaniard has climbed into the Top 25 after advancing to his second Masters 1000 semi-final in Toronto. Davidovich Fokina, who lost in the Monte-Carlo final in 2022, earned a Top 10 victory against Casper Ruud in Canada.
