Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard’s hometown title run at the Open Parc in Lyon has helped the 20-year-old climb into the Top 100 of the PIF ATP Rankings for the first time. Just how high did the 20-year-old surge into the elite group?
ATPTour.com looks at the movers in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, 27 May.
No. 66 Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, +51 (Career High)
Mpetshi Perricard hit a major milestone in just his fourth tour-level event at the Open Parc in Lyon. The 20-year-old clinched his maiden ATP Tour trophy at the clay-court ATP 250 in his hometown after saving a match point in the deciding-set tie-break of the final against Tomas Martin Etcheverry. Mpetshi Perricard has jumped 51 spots to a career-high No. 66 as a result. The 20-year-old is the No. 5 Frenchman.
No. 17 Alexander Bublik, +2 (Joint Career High)
The second-seeded Bublik was one of the players ousted by Mpetshi Perricard in Lyon, but the Kazakhstani has nonetheless risen two spots after reaching his fourth tour-level semi-final of the year. Bublik defeated Aleksandar Vukic and Pavel Kotov in France to take his record for the season to 18-11.
No. 34 Tomas Machac, +10 (Career High)
Machac captured the biggest win of his career when he overcame top seed and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic to reach the final at the Gonet Geneva Open. Although the 23-year-old Czech ultimately fell to Casper Ruud in his maiden ATP Tour championship match, his run in Switzerland has made a difference in his PIF ATP Ranking. Machac is up to a career-high World No. 34.
No. 40 Luciano Darderi, +7 (Career High)
The Cordoba champion Darderi continued his breakout year on Tour by reaching the semi-finals in Lyon. The Italian beat Taro Daniel and home favourite Adrian Mannarino before falling to Etcheverry in straight sets.
No. 88 Hugo Gaston, +16
Home favourite Gaston won four matches on the Lyon clay coming through qualifying to make his first tour-level quarter-final appearance of the year.
