ATP rankings.
Zverev beat home favourite Ugo Humbert to clinch the title, after the French No.1 beat the likes of Alcaraz and Karen Khachanov to reach the biggest final of his career.Humbert has now solidified his place as the top ranked Frenchman for the time being, rising four places upto World No.14.
Big Movers
That all being said, the biggest upward mover inside the top 100 is actually a different Frenchman in Arthur Cazaux. Cazaux was not even meant to be in the Paris Masters main draw after losing in qualifying to Fabio Fognini, but received a lucky loser spot following the withdrawal of top seed Jannik Sinner.And the 22-year-old certainly made use of that, beating Ben Shelton to advance to the third round of his home Masters 1000 tournament, and is now at a career-high ranking of No.67 after jumping up 18 places.It was also a big week for Karen Khachanov, who continued his impressive European indoor hard court swing by reaching the Paris Masters semi-finals for the second time in his career. This has enabled the Russian to move back inside the top 20 at World No.19. There have also been ongoings on the Challenger Tour that have impacted the rankings this week, including in Sydney where Thanasi Kokkinakis beat Rinky Hijikata to claim the title. This is the seventh Challenger level title of Kokkinakis’ career, and the Australian is now up eight places in the rankings at No.79.More Tennis News

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
