Daniil Medvedev and Felix Auger Aliassime are climbing fast in the rankings.
Medvedev
The Russian had a fantastic run in Cincinnati where he won the title after beating the creat Novak Djokovic on the way (in the semifinal). Last week the Russian gained 3 places in the rankings to be the new world no.5 (career-high) to be one of the favorites to win the upcoming US Open.
Auger-Aliassime
Felix didn’t have a great campaign in Cincinnati where he lost as early as in the 1st round to Miomir Kecmanovic. However, the Canadian took advantage of the fact that Raonic and Cilic lost some position to go 2 places up in the rankings and be the new world on.19 (career-high). More to come.
