This Monday’s rankings feature modest movement in the ATP and WTA Top 10, but several compelling developments unfolded just outside that elite bracket. Loïs Boisson breaks into the Top 50 following her title in Hamburg. Denis Shapovalov and Alexander Bublik both continue significant comebacks. And Novak Djokovic? He has officially entered his 900th week in the ATP Top 10.
Djokovic: 900 Weeks and Counting
Even with limited tournament play this season, Novak Djokovic remains an enduring force among the ATP elite. He has now completed 900 weeks in the Top 10, joining Rafael Nadal (912) and Roger Federer (968) as the only players in history to achieve this milestone.
Djokovic’s consistency is remarkable. He spent 555 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 from 2007 to 2017. After a 36-week absence due to an elbow injury in 2017, he returned in July 2018 and hasn’t left the elite tier since. Of those 900 weeks, 428 were spent at world No. 1.
Shapovalov’s Redemption Tour
Once as low as No. 140 in mid‑2023 due to injuries and early exits, Denis Shapovalov has dramatically revived his career. He has already claimed two ATP titles this year, first in First at Dallas (ATP 500) and most recently at Los Cabos (ATP 250), this time without dropping a set.
Now ranked No. 28, he becomes the sixth player in 2025 to win multiple ATP titles, marking a convincing return to the upper echelons of the game.
The “New” Bublik Rises
Alexander Bublik was on the brink of quitting the sport just a year ago. Once ranked as low as No. 80, he has rediscovered his motivation and joy on court. A superb quarterfinal at Roland Garros, followed by titles in Halle (on grass) and Gstaad (his first on clay), have lifted him back to No. 30.
Bublik openly admitted: “I was close to calling it quits after Wimbledon because I wasn’t enjoying it.” Now, he seems reborn, mixing emotional stability with renewed hunger.
Boisson Breaks Through
Rising French star Loïs Boisson continues her meteoric rise. After a commanding run to the WTA 250 title in Hamburg, she enters the Top 50 for the first time, climbing 19 spots to No. 44.
The 22-year-old had already made headlines with a breakthrough run to the semifinals at Roland-Garros earlier this year. After a challenging grass-court swing, her return to clay has reaffirmed the potency of her game. The question now is whether she can carry that momentum into the North American hard-court season.
