Roland Garros runner-up Caspar Rudd reached the top of his career.
The Spanish player has reached the fourth position in the ATP rankings after winning the historic 14th Roland Garros title and a record 22nd Grand Slam trophy in Paris last week.
The 36-year-old is the oldest male champion in the history of clay court competition and now equals the country’s Carlos Alcaraz on the Tour, winning four titles in 2022.
Rud, a 23-year-old Norwegian, became the first Norwegian man to reach the Grand Slam final since his 2022 campaign at Roland Garros, when he jumped to the No. 6 spot in his career.
Despite losing to Nadal in the semi-finals of the French Open 2022, world number one Novak Djokovic is at the top with 8770 points.

Croatia’s Marin Cilic has returned to the top 20 thanks to his outstanding performances in Paris. The 33-year-old world number two Daniel Medvedev advanced to the semifinals.
Medvedev is second with 8160 points and Alexander Zverev is third with 7795 points.
Became the first Danish man to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam in the Open Era, Holger Rune continued his whimsy at Roland Garros.
The 19-year-old, who won his first Tour-level trophy in Munich in April, defeated world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round to win the second top 10 of his career.
Nadal could win his third Wimbledon title later this month. Nadal’s last win came at the All England Club in 2010, but updates on his knee injury are awaited and his participation in the competition depends on it.
