ATP Tour

The fourth and final consecutive three-tournament week on the ATP Tour ended with Ugo Humbert, Alex de Minaur and Sebastian Baez lifting titles in Dubai, Acapulco and Santiago, respectively. ATPTour.com looks at the movers in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, 4 March.

No. 14 Ugo Humbert, +4 (Career High)
The Frenchman has climbed four spots to a career-high No. 14 in the PIF ATP Rankings after he captured his second title of the season at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. Humbert, who triumphed in Marseille in February, upset World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev en route to his second ATP 500 crown (Halle 2021).

He also beat former World No. 1 Andy Murray and Top 10 star Hubert Hurkacz before downing Alexander Bublik in the title match. He is the third Frenchman to win the title in Dubai and first Frenchman to rise inside the Top 15 since Gael Monfils in May 2021.
