With the conclusion of the season's first ATP/WTA1000 men's and women's combined Indian Wells event, let's take a look at what's changed in the new rankings this week!
Draper
"New Master" Draper entered the TOP10 for the first time
The 23-year-old British No. 1 Draper won his first Masters title by dropping just one set at the Indian Wells Masters, beating four seeded players on his way to the title: Fritz, Shelton, Alcaraz and Rune. With this title, Draper rose to No.7 in the world rankings, setting a new personal high.
Fonseca
Fonseca has steadily improved in the rankings
Despite losing to eventual champion Draper in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters, Fonseca competed at ATP 175 in Phoenix last week and defeated the likes of Struff, Kei Nishikori and Bublik to claim his third Challenger title, which moved him up 20 places in the world rankings to No. 60.
Fez
Fesztron's highest personal ranking
The 20-year-old French sensation Fez reached the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters for the first time, and finally lost to Russia's Dmitry Medvedev in the quarter-finals. Fez rose three places to No.18 this week, setting a new career high. The Frenchman has no points to keep at the upcoming Miami Masters, so he is expected to move up the world rankings.
Kei Nishikori
Kei Nishikori has rebounded in the rankings
Former world No. 4 and Japan's Kei Nishikori has picked up four wins at the Indian Wells Masters and Phoenix Challenger last two weeks, moving him up 12 places in the world rankings to No.64 this week, his highest personal ranking since May 2022.
Andreyeva
Andreyeva set a new high in her personal ranking
After winning her maiden 1000 title in Dubai, the 17-year-old Andreeva broke the top 10 for the first time, although her world ranking dropped to No.11 ahead of Indian Wells. With her second back-to-back 1000 title in Indian Wells, she returned to the top 10 after a 12-game winning streak and moved up five places to No.6 in the world rankings. A year ago, Andreeva was ranked No. 38 in the world, and two years ago she was ranked No. 304.
Bencic
Bencic is back in the top 50
Former world No. 4 Bencic reached the quarterfinals of her first 1000 tournament since Montreal 2023 in Indian Wells, beating two highly-ranked players, Schneider and Gauff. Bencic made a no-ranked comeback from giving birth last October, and she has improved her ranking to No.45 in the last six months, her first return to the top 50 since February 2024.
