The third and final clay-court ATP Masters 1000 event of the year took place at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome, where Jannik Sinner defeated Casper Ruud in the final. ATPTour.com looks at the movers of the week in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday 18 May.
No. 17 Casper Ruud, +8
Ruud has returned to the Top 20 following a run to his fourth Masters 1000 final in Rome. The Norwegian, who dropped out of the Top 20 earlier in May following a quarter-final exit in Madrid, dropped just one set en route to the final but could not find a way past World No. 1 Sinner, who completed the Career Golden Masters.

No. 7 Daniil Medvedev, +2
Medvedev has risen two spots following a semi-final showing in the Italian capital. It was the 18th time and second this season that the 2023 Rome champion had reached the last four at a Masters 1000 event.
No. 16 Luciano Darderi, +4 (Career High)
The Italian has climbed to a career-high No. 16 in the PIF ATP Rankings after he soared to his maiden Masters 1000 semi-final in Rome. Darderi defeated Alexander Zverev for his first Top 5 win.
No. 29 Rafael Jodar, +5 (Career High)
The 19-year-old Spaniard continued his surge in Rome, where he became the youngest quarter-finalist at the event in 21 years. Jodar was also the first teenager since Novak Djokovic in 2007 to advance to the last eight at multiple Masters 1000 events in a season. Earlier this month, Jodar reached the quarter-finals on home soil in Madrid.
No. 67 Martin Landaluce, +27
Landaluce continued his breakthrough year in Rome, where he reached his second Masters 1000 quarter-final of the year (also Miami). The 20-year-old Spaniard was a lucky loser in the ‘Eternal City’ and made the most of his late spot with wins against Marin Cilic, Mattia Bellucci and Hamad Medjedovic. He is up to No. 67.
