After winning in Washington, De Minaur returns to the top ten and is named this week's most improved player. Following his first title of the season in Washington, he climbed 5 spots in the ATP rankings.

Luciano Darderi and Alexander Bublik each claimed ATP Tour titles last week in Washington, Umag, and Kitzbühel.

Bublik successfully defended his title at the Kitzbühel ATP 250 clay event, winning his second consecutive championship and rising 5 places to rank 25th in the ATP.
