Italy's Lorenzo Musetti has climbed
to a career high of 11th in the ATP men's singles world rankings
after reaching the final of last week's Monte-Carlo Masters.
The 23-year-old lost 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 to Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in
his first-ever Masters 1000 tournament final on Sunday, although
he was impaired by a muscle problem that required medical
attention during the match.
Italian Jannik Sinner remains top of the ranking he continues to
serve a three-month ban for testing positive for a banned
substance.
Sinner had initially been cleared of doping after it was found
that he had inadvertently been tainted with the banned steroid
by a trainer's massage at the Indian Wells tournament last
March, but WADA reopened the case and appealed to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS), so Sinner agreed to accept a short
ban to close the case.
The suspension runs until May 4.
