Iliyan Radulov has made significant strides, jumping 30 places to reach a career-high No. 540. This leap followed his strong performance in Madrid, where he reached the final on December 8, earning an eight-point boost. Meanwhile, Yannick Sinner holds the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings.
Among the emerging talent, 17-year-old Rositsa Dencheva has made a remarkable rise, climbing 36 spots to a career-high No. 502. Antalya champion Denislava Glushkova also improved her ranking, moving up eight places to No. 542. Arina Sabalenka continues to lead the WTA rankings.
