Stan Wawrinka returned to the world's top 50 on Monday for the first time since last year's French Open after his run to the final in Rotterdam.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is on the road back to his best after serious knee injuries, and reached his first final last week since losing to Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros in 2017.
