Big Movers
Although he was beaten in the Stuttgart Open final, the aforementioned Berrettini is the biggest upward mover of the week inside the top 100. It was only the Italian’s fifth tournament of the year, having struggled with injuries and illness. But when on the matchcourt, Berrettini has thrived having reached finals in Phoenix and Stuttgart, as well as winning the title on the clay of Marrakech. Consequently, Berrettini has now climbed another 30 places upto world No.65, as he looks a real threat once again ahead of Wimbledon.It was also a positive week for Brandon Nakashima, who reached his first main tour grass court semi-final in Stuttgart before being beaten by eventual champion Draper. The American has now risen another seven spots up the rankings to No.63. While the grass court season is now underway, there were also some ATP Challenger events taking place on clay, with both Luciano Darderi (+7 to No.34) and Hugo Gaston (+13 to No.69) taking advantage after winning the titles in Perugia and Lyon, respectively.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 |

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
