 So the clay court season well underway and the ATP finally getting a big trophy to play for on the clay courts in Europe Monte Carlo Masters the only tournament actually on this week I made some big changes to the men's ranking no changes to the women's because they actually didn't play only Billy Jean King Cup And of course that's not worth any points. Let's go have a look at who won the Monte Carlo Masters this year So only the one tournament this week and it was the Monte Carlo Masters and rubblev finally winning his first Masters 1000 title beating Holger Runa in a three set of five seven six two seven five to lift the biggest trophy of his career and Really put himself in the group of Masters one thousand champions and maybe potentially Slam champions people are gonna take him a lot more serious now actually came back from four one down in that final set So great for rubblev getting the biggest trophy of his career Let's start off with the players that outside the top ten have done well this week and gone up in the rankings Starting with LeHecke he's gone up six spots the number 36 in the world That's a career high for him after having another solid week this week making the third round of Monte Carlo Jerry he's also gone up the rankings seven spots into number 51 in the world after another solid week on the clay and Strouf he's gone up 36 spots to number 64 in the world after making the quarter finals of Monte Carlo So the players they're having a good week on the clay getting a boost in the ranks Players that have gone down on the rankings this week real to meet you off He's got down six spots number 31 in the world After failing to defend the semi-final points he made at Monte Carlo last year David Owens Fakina also dropping down 14 spots number 38 in the world after losing in the first round losing all the points from last Year's finals appearance in Monte Carlo Diego Schwartzman. He's gone down 11 spots number 48 in the world Also losing points from Monte Carlo last year So a couple of guys there losing really early in Monte Carlo not even getting a chance to defend any of their points Okay, let's start with the WTA rankings now and there is no change with the ladies playing the Billie Jean King Cup Which is worth no points. So going into Stuttgart this week This is what the rankings look like Shriantek stays at number one with Sabalenka going in two Pagula at three Jabir at four Garcia at number five Coco goff is six we're back in her at seven Kazakina at eight Zachary at nine and Kovitava rounds out the top ten for this week And the only player that is not playing in Stuttgart this week from the top ten is Pagula So nine of those players will be competing next week Expect some changes also Shriantek and Sabalenka are the defending finalists from Stuttgart So potentially there could be some movement at the top in terms of ranking points next week The race the finals also no movement this week after the players basically had a week off with the Billie Jean King Cup happening Sabalenka still at number one with Rabakina at number two, Pagula at three which Shriantek at four Benchanted at five, Kovitava at six, Kovitava at number seven Goff at number eight, Azarenka at nine and Lynette rounds out the top ten for this week But like I said, with Stuttgart next week worth a lot of points on the WTA We could see some real movement in the race of the finals as well jumping over to the ATP rankings now And of course with Monte Carlo ending there are a few changes to the rankings Djokovic though stays at number one despite not playing great in Monte Carlo with Elkira staying at number two But Stefano Siddi pass he's dropped down two spots after losing in the quarter finals of Monte Carlo Losing a lot of points after winning the title last year allowing Rude and Mephadev to go up to number three and four spots So Stef really struggling the last couple of months to get points and keep his ranking in that top three Rubelev after winning his first Master 1000 doesn't actually move up the rankings Just adds a lot of points to his ranking closing the gap between him and Siddi pass at number six We've got a change in the bottom with Felix Ojalia seem going down two spots after missing Monte Carlo Allowing Holger Runa to go up two spots making the final Monte Carlo getting to a career high number seven in the world And Yannick Sinner is in the middle there at number eight So Runa at seven Sinner and eight Felix at nine and Taylor Fritz He rounds out the top ten for this week also making the semi-finals Monte Carlo But doesn't change in the rankings going over to the race of the finals now and we've got some serious movements here Daniel Mephadev he stays at number one with Novak Djokovic number two Yannick Sinner He goes up to number three with Carlos Elkira's down to number four after Elkira's didn't play Monte Carlo and Sinner made it to the semi-finals and another change into the middle as well with Rubelev going up seven spots To number five in the race of the finals after winning Monte Carlo pushing Siddi pass down to number six Fritz down number seven Hashinov goes up one spot in that mix as well to number eight pushing Paul down to number nine Nori goes down two spots number ten and Tiafo drops out of the top ten completely after missing this week in Monte Carlo So it just shows when there's a big tournament on worth a lot of points and you don't play You're a chance of dropping down the rankings if the guys around you do well So a big change in the rankings there especially with Rubelev getting that win So you have it they are the rankings after Monte Carlo and like I said, we don't have the WTA this week So no changes there, but Stuttgart is huge and of course Madrid and Rome both for the ATP in the WTA Massive coming up in the next couple weeks. Let me know down in the comments below What's been the biggest surprise for you this week? Is it the fact that Rubelev finally won a big trophy? Remember there were some big names playing in Monte Carlo as well It wasn't like we didn't have everyone playing, you know, we did have Djokovic there We had Sinti pass the two-time champion Medvedev was there, Zverev was there, Runa of course, Sinner as well And at the end it was Rubelev who was the one who held the trophy I don't think it was expected so great to see that and he's got a massive boost in the ranks there Especially the race to the final. He's been an ATB finalist the last few years But let me know down in the comments below What are you most excited to see maybe in the next couple weeks and what's been the biggest surprise for you this week?
