The three ATP250 seasons at Montpellier, Colvado and Pune ended last week, and although there were no WTA-level women's events last week, with the deduction of points from Adelaide last year (2021 WTA Adelaide stood behind the Australian Open), there were still new changes in the rankings.
Murray
Murray and Kokinakis return to the TOP100
With the excellent performance of the Australian season, former world number one Murray and the new Australian Open men's doubles champion Kokinakis both rose seven places to 95th and 94th respectively, returning to the TOP100 ranks. This is the first time Murray has joined the ranks since May 2018.
Brik
Bublick set a new career high ranking
After winning his first Tour title at Montpellier last week, the 24-year-old Briek moved up four places to 31st. This was the fifth time in Brek's career that he had reached the tour final, and facing the world's third-placed Zverev, the Kazakh won in two straight sets to break the championship drought.
Ramos
Ramos won his fourth career title
After winning his fourth title at Corvado, Ramos moved up 12 places to 32nd. Ramos' individual world rankings reached a highest number 17 in 2017, and all four of his titles came from clay.
Rusuvuori reached the tour final for the first time
Finnish teenager Rusuvuori, 22, reached his first Tour final in Pune last week and moved up 16 places to 71st.
Sosa
Sosa returns to the TOP100
After winning his fourth personal title at Pune, Portugal's Sosa has been among the world's top 100 for the first time since February last year. The 32-year-old Sosa won the pune station with the likes of Lenk Maj, Alte Meyer and Rusuvuori, soaring 51 places to 86th.
Bardoza
The top ten of women have changed
With Swatak slipping from fourth to eighth after deducting 470 points she won last year's Adelaide, Spain's Bardoza rose one place to No.5, creating a career-high ranking. Australian Open runner-up Collins made her first time in the world's top ten last week, while she slipped one place to 11th after deducting 100 points from last year's Adelaide station.
The Spanish women's tennis is gaining momentum
Spain's Díaz rose one place this week to 50th, creating a personal high, which also means that there are currently four Spanish women in the world's top 50, namely Bardoza, Mugurazza, Tomo and Díaz, which is also the first time since June 21, 2010 that four Spanish players have appeared in the women's top 50.
