ATP

Three-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka made a huge jump in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday.

Former World No. 3 Wawrinka climbed 91 spots to 193rd with his semifinal run in Metz. The Swiss player started from qualifying and beat Russian World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev on his way to the last four before retiring against Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan.

Wawrinka had returned to tour in March after a year-long absence due to a left foot surgery.

Lorenzo Sonego and Brandon Nakashima also made significant gains.

Italian Sonego claimed his first tour-level title of the season by beating Bublik in the ATP250 final in Metz and jumped 20 places to become World No. 45.

American Brandon Nakashima, who clinched the first tour-level title of his career in San Diego with a victory over compatriot Marcos Giron, moved 21 places to 48th.

There was one change in the top 10 as Italian Jannik Sinner displaced Polish Hubert Hurkacz from the tenth spot.
