 Welcome back to Tennis Talk my name is Cam Williams and it's time for the weekly ranking show Where we go through all the ATP and WTA rankings for the week and we've come into the last couple of weeks of the season Of course, we had the last week of the season for the regular season for the ladies last week And this week we have Paris which is the final event for the men for the most part Of course the ATP finals is still coming up and the WTA finals as well So we only had two events last week one in Basel one in Vienna Let's go check them out and see who won so both ATP 500 events last week Let me start off at the Vienna open with Daniel Medvedev taking out Shapa Valov in three sets Four six six three six two and that is Medvedev's second title for the years So matter of few finals this year But only a second trophy and over in the Swiss indoors We had Ojalia Seym winning his third trophy in a row over the last three weeks beating Runa in the final six three seven five And he is very close to qualifying for the ATP finals in a couple weeks time Let's jump over to the WTA rankings for this week And as I mentioned no one played this week on the WTA for the most part So no change in the rankings wish fiance get one Jabara two Pagola comes in at three Gofford four Sacri at five Garcia at six Sabal anchor at seven Kazakina at eight Kudamata over at nine And Simone Hallebrans at the top ten But we could get some changes this time next week because in the WTA finals There are a lot of points up for grabs So expect the top eight to change a bit this time next week and then having a look at the race of the finals We already know what to expect for next week and see who's playing fiontech and one with Jabara two Pagola three Gofford for Sacri five Garcia six Sabal anchor at seven and Kazakina at eight all playing next week And they've all been divided into their groups You can go check out the video you bought out yesterday going through all the players and all the head-to-head Records between each other in each particular group Then you've got Kudamata over at nine and Hallebran ten But Kudamata will be the first alternate and Madison Keys will be the second alternate for the WTA finals because Hallebrans He's out for the season. Let's jump over the A to B rankings now and a couple of changes to the top ten Alcrest stayed number one with a semi-final in Basel ahead of rafferate number two with Casper Roode He went down to number four in the world with Mehvedev going up after Mehvedev won in Vienna And Roode lost in the first round of Basel. It's a little bit of a change there in the rankings They're very close together since he passes at number five was there ever number six now There's a lot of points to defend over the next two weeks So expect his ranking to drop. Dokovic is still at seven and there's some changes at the bottom with Roodelev going down to number nine FAA going up to number eight after he won in Basel and Roodelev lost early in Vienna and Taylor Fritz He drops out of the top ten down to number eleven with Hubei Hercatch coming up to the number ten spot after Hercatch made the quarter-finals of Vienna and Fritz lost really early So a little bit of a change there But as mentioned big event this week in Paris and also Zverev has a lot of points to defend So expect his ranking to drop and everyone's playing next week in Paris that's in the top ten So expect changes having a look at the race of the finals now And we're starting to get a clear picture with Alkares, Nadal, Sitsipas, Roode and Djokovic all qualified for the finals And we can add Daniel Mehvedev to that after winning in Vienna He is now qualified for the HB finals Which has been really good for Mehvedev because remember he didn't play much of the clay court season of course didn't play Wimbledon So Mehvedev to qualify is a really big effort just behind Mehvedev We have a change with Rublev going to the number eight spot and FAA going up to the number seven spot And Felix only has to win one match next week to qualify So he's all but there we have Fritz in number nine and Hercatch in number ten They're a fair bit behind Rublev They're gonna have to have a very good run in Paris and hope that Rublev loses in order to take that final spot FAA can technically still fall out of the rankings if he does lose first round and both Fritz and Hercatch do very well in Paris But like I said, he's all but there but Rublev's spot is up for grabs if Fritz or Hercatch can have a good run Let's have a look at the players who've gone up in the rankings for the ATP outside the top ten Dennis Shobovalov, he goes up to number 16, three spots higher than last week after making it to the final of Vienna And Holger Runa, after winning his second title last week of his career, he now made another final This time in Basel, he goes up seven spots to number 18 in the world which is a career high for him So the finals of last week, getting a boost in the rankings Having a look at the players that have gone down in the rankings, Tiafo, he's gone down four spots to number 21 After failing to defend the points that he made in Vienna last year And Strouf, he went down 36 spots to number 168 in the world again But not being able to defend the points that he made at events this time last year So a couple of the changes outside the top ten So there you have it, a little bit more of a clearer picture on what's happening on the ATP side of things And like I mentioned, you've basically got three players playing for one spot for the ATP finals Oge Aliaseem is pretty much in there after he's won three tournaments back to back to back And getting a thousand points to make up for all those tournaments Rublev's going to have a good week though because his spots up for grabs If he does lose early, then Hercatch or Fritz can make a really good run in Paris And remember Hercatch last year made the semi-finals of Paris So he is good at this event Let me know down in the comments below Who's going to take that final spot? Is it going to be Rublev? Is it going to be Fritz? Is it going to be Hercatch? Who's going to take the final spot? And also, who's going to be the world number one by the end of the year? Because Alcraz has got it at the moment But Rafa has no points to defend over the next couple of weeks So could Rafa take number one or is Alcraz going to stay there?
