The ATP Rotterdam champion rose two positions, while Shelton (9th), who won the ATP Dallas, and Cerúndolo (19th), who triumphed in the ATP Buenos Aires, maintain their positions.
An authentic thriller unfolded in the final of the 2026 ATP Dallas. Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz engaged in a battle where either could have emerged victorious, but it was Shelton who raised the champion's fist after coming back from a set down, saving a break point in the middle of the second set, and, above all, fighting off three match points in the deciding set. The Atlanta native secured the victory with a 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 scoreline, after one hour and 50 minutes, claiming his fourth ATP title following triumphs in the 2025 Canada Masters 1000, 2024 Houston, and 2023 Tokyo. Consequently, he climbs to sixth place in the ATP rankings.

The ATP Buenos Aires 2026 title stays at home. Fran Cerúndolo is a prophet in his own land and, after losing the final last year, he has redeemed himself by lifting his first title in Argentina. He achieves this after defeating Luciano Darderi in the final with a convincing scoreline of 6-4, 6-2, after an hour and 36 minutes. In this way, the South American ends the drought of 2025 and raises his fourth ATP title after those achieved in Bastad 2022, Eastbourne 2023, and Umag 2024.

A curious and funny celebration left by Ben Shelton and his partner, the female soccer player Trinity Rodman. The Atlanta player had won the ATP Dallas title after an intense battle of almost two hours with Taylor Fritz. As expected, the tennis player was sweaty at the end of the match, and when he went to hug his girlfriend, he soaked her with sweat, and she had a funny reaction. While Shelton quickly provided a solution: "I'll bring you towels."

Jannik Sinner will make his debut tomorrow at the ATP Doha 2026 against Tomas Machac. But before starting his week at the Middle East tournament, he experienced a surreal and uncomfortable situation with a fan in an elevator. The boy asked him for a photo and then started asking him questions about his chances in the tournament, while Simone Vagnozzi, Sinner's coach, was also in the elevator, asking: "Is this an interview?" to which the world number two replied: "I don't know." Finally, the elevator doors opened, and the uncomfortable situation for the Italian ended.
Vagno: “What is it, an interview?”

Both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are back in action at ATP Doha. The two current circuit dominators are the top favorites to win the title and could potentially meet in a final. In an interview with Sky Sports, the Spanish player revealed what another match against the Italian would mean: "It would be incredible, wouldn't it? I believe these are the matches and finals that people want to see. If I can win and advance through all rounds, then we will see who makes it to the final," commented the world number one.
They call it "the dream final" and it could happen next Saturday between you & Jannik

Fabio Fognini left dancing to get back into his tennis player attire. The Italian, who hung up his racket after his first-round defeat at Wimbledon with Carlos Alcaraz, had barely trained in the past few months. But this time, he returned to the courts to play an exhibition before the final of the Challenger de Tenerife II. In fact, the Italian stated, "This time my experience here is better than two years ago," as in 2024, he was eliminated in the second round of the Canarian challenger.
Back at the Tenerife Challenger!

Following last-minute absences of Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek at WTA Dubai 2026, Elena Rybakina, the newly crowned champion of the Australian Open, will be the top seed and the main contender to claim a title that would allow her to surpass the Polish player and start challenging the Belarusian for the top spot in the rankings. However, the Kazakh prefers to take it step by step when asked about the hypothetical world number one position: "It's definitely a goal. But it depends on how other players compete and the results. The season is very long. There's no time to stop. Improvement is needed every day."
