France’s Gael Monfils, without even playing, jumped one place to equalise his best ever rank.
Monfils benefited from Croat Marian Cilic’s second-round defeat in the Chennai Open.
Recent tournament winners Roberto Bautista of Spain and Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov both go up, to 13 and 15th respectively.
