/strongA hard-fought week ended with a great reward for the 25-year-old Cerundolo, who en route to the Umag title, ousted the Top 2 seeds a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/andrey-rublev/re44/overview'Andrey Rublev/a and a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/lorenzo-musetti/m0ej/overview'Lorenzo Musetti/a in the semi-finals and final, respectively.

strongNo. 40 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/matteo-berrettini/bk40/overview'Matteo Berrettini/a, +10/strongbr /

/strongThe heavy-hitting Italian is playing some of the best tennis of his career, having won two consecutive titles. Following his triumph at the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/kitzbuhel/319/overview'Generali Open/a in Kitzbuuml;hel, Berrettini returned to the Top 40 for the first time since last August. The former World No. 6 has won 20 consecutive sets since falling to countryman a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/jannik-sinner/s0ag/overview'Jannik Sinner/a in the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/wimbledon/540/overview'Wimbledon/a second round./p

strongNo. 61 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/hugo-gaston/g09o/overview'Hugo Gaston/a, +30/strongbr /

/strongThe Frenchman was overcome with raw emotion after falling short in his second tour-level championship match in Kitzbuuml;hel.

Gaston soared 30 places to No. 61 in the PIF ATP Rankings, two spots off his career-high, following his deep run.nbsp;/p
