Big Movers
Despite losing in the Eastbourne final, Max Purcell is actually the biggest upward mover inside the top 100 this week. As a reward for reaching his first ATP Final, the Australian has now climbed 26 places upto world No.68. Purcell was not the only Australian to impress on the grass this week, with Aleksandar Vukic making the semi-finals in Eastbourne. As a result, Vukic has further cemented his place in the top 100 after jumping up 12 spots to No.69. It was also a positive week for Gael Monfils, who reached the semi-finals in Mallorca before being beaten by eventual champion Tabilo. The Frenchman has risen seven places to No.33, as he approaches a potential seeded spot for the US Open.ATP Rankings Top 20 (01/07/24)

ATP Rankings rules
ATP rankings track and rank all the players on tour over a 52-week period. Points are awarded for performance, with the biggest tournaments giving out the most points over the course of the year. Those rankings are then used to determine a number of things, such as seedings at tournaments and deciding who qualifies for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin.ATP rankings points awarded/tournament
The following points are awarded for the different tiers of tournaments on the ATP Tour, with some slight alterations made for the 2024 season:| Tournament category | W | F | SF | QF | R16 | R32 | R64 | R128 | Q |
| ATP Tour | |||||||||

Admissible tournaments
To prevent players from manipulating the rankings by playing a large amount of smaller tournaments, only 19 tournaments are admissible over the course of the year to make up a ranking. That number does not include the ATP Finals, with that treated as an extra earned opportunity to win rankings points. However, the bigger and most prestigious tournaments are considered ‘mandatory’ entries. For example, if a player lost in round one of a Grand Slam, they would not be permitted to omit it from their ranking in favour of an ATP 250 which earned them more points. Therefore, players who compete at all the mandatory events in a season will have the following breakdown of admissible rankings points:- 4 Grand Slams
- 8 Masters 1000
- 7 ‘Best Other’ performances
