Fritz, 25, achieved the best result of his career.

Wu, now 58th in the world at 23, also made the best weekly progress in the top 100, up 39 places.

The Italian Jannik Sinner, titled in Montpellier on Sunday, made up three places and ended up in 14th place.

The American Maxime Cressy, who failed in the final ahead of Sinner, is 40th in the world rankings with 11 places.

Winner of his second track title Sunday in Cordoba, Argentina’s Sebastian Baez, 36th, also climbed 11 places.

His victim in the final, his compatriot Federico Coria, 49th up 18 places, still got the best finish of his career at the age of 30.

Canadian Denis Shapovalov turns 27.
