The ATP Tour's grass-court season began last week with action in Stuttgart and 's-Hertogenbosch, where Jack Draper and Alex de Minaur claimed the respective singles titles. Both men rose to career-high PIF ATP Rankings as a result. ATPTour.com looks at the movers in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, 17 June.

No. 30 Jack Draper, +10 (Career High)
Draper's first tour-level title at the BOSS OPEN also earned him a debut as British No. 1. The 22-year-old passed Cameron Norrie for that honour and will fittingly play his next match on home soil at The Queen's Club. Draper's first title came in his third tour-level final after runner-up finishes in Sofia last year and Adelaide this season.


No. 7 Alex De Minaur, +2 (Career High)
De Minaur won his second title of 2024 at the Libema Open, living up to his billing as the top seed at the ATP 250. The Aussie did not drop a set en route to the trophy and beat Sebastian Korda in Sunday's final. De Minaur returned to the Top 10 with a run to the Roland Garros quarter-finals, matching his previous career-high of No. 9, before rising even higher behind his 's-Hertogenbosch run.

No. 34 Luciano Darderi +7 (Career High)
Like De Minaur, Darderi won a title last week without losing a set as the top seed. The Italian went all the way as a home favourite at the ATP Challenger event in Perugia, beating Sumit Nagal in Sunday's final. The 22-year-old's rise to No. 34 in the PIF ATP Rankings has also been fuelled by his first tour-level title in Cordoba earlier this year.

No. 65 Matteo Berrettini +30
While Berrettini fell just short of his third Stuttgart title, he was rewarded for a deep run in his first tournament since Monte-Carlo in April. The former World No. 6 is trending back toward that sky-high position PIF ATP Rankings after a strong week on the German grass in which he beat both eighth seed Roman Safiullin and fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti.

No. 69 Hugo Gaston +13
Champion at the ATP Challenger Tour event in Lyon, Gaston moved within 11 places of his career-high PIF ATP Ranking, which he reached in 2022. The 23-year-old Frenchman also advanced to the quarter-finals at the ATP 250 in Lyon last month, where he earned two main-draw wins as a qualifier.

No. 23 Sebastian Korda, +3
No. 40 Roman Safiullin, +3
No. 59 Daniel Evans, +3
No. 63 Brandon Nakashima, +7
