ATPTour.com reviews the main movements in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, July 22.

No. 20 Arthur Fils, +8 (Personal Brand)
#NextGenATP Frenchman Fils has broken into the Top 20 for the first time after claiming his maiden ATP 500 crown at the Hamburg Open. A year after reaching the semi-finals at the German tournament, the Frenchman took another step forward by defeating Sebastian Baez and reigning champion Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals and final respectively. Fils is only the third player of the century to win the Hamburg title before turning 21, following Roger Federer and Lorenzo Musetti.

No. 38 Marcos Giron, +8 (Personal Best)
Playing the best tennis of his career at the age of 30, Marcos Giron lifted his first ATP Tour trophy after coming close to defeat in the final of the Infosys Halle Of Fame Open. The American saved championship point against countryman Alex Michelsen to take the trophy in Newport, and has climbed eight spots to a career-high world No. 38.

No. 42 Nuno Borges, +9 (Personal Best)
Nuno Borges dropped just one set in five matches to claim his first ATP Tour title at the Nordea Open in Bastad. Tennis history stood between him and the trophy in the final, but Borges overcame Rafael Nadal to become Portugal’s second ATP Tour singles champion. With the title, Nuno has achieved a career-high position of No. 42 in the PIF ATP Rankings.

No. 50 Matteo Berrettini, +32
Former World No. 6 Berrettini continues to make up ground in the PIF ATP Rankings after claiming his second ATP 250 clay-court title of the year at the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad. Outside the Top 150 in March, Berrettini has improved to 16-5 on the season after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Quentin Halys en route to the title in the Swiss Alps.

No. 125, Quentin Halys, +67
Big-serving Halys arrived in Gstaad ranked No. 192 in the world but has secured a blistering rise in the PIF ATP Rankings after reaching his first ATP Tour final. The 27-year-old Frenchman dropped just two sets in six matches from qualifying to the championship match, where Berrettini was an unbeatable opponent. A highlight of the Frenchman’s week was a stunning forehand from the sitting position against Gustavo Heide.
