Biggest ATP moves of the week: As of 30 May 2025

Flavio Cobolli: The Breakthrough in Hamburg

Italy's Flavio Cobolli is no longer flying under the radar. The 23-year-old surged nine spots to a career-high No. 26 in the ATP rankings after a dream week at the ATP 500 in Hamburg. Cobolli displayed a mature and composed game all tournament long, losing just one set, in the semifinals against Tomas Martin Etcheverry (No. 53 ATP). His biggest scalp came in the final, where he stunned the No. 3 seed Andrey Rublev (No. 17 ATP) in straight sets.

What made Cobolli’s run even more impressive was his composure under pressure. In earlier rounds, he calmly took out Davidovich Fokina and never let the moment overwhelm him. He’s so far backed that up with a confident first week at Roland Garros, brushing aside veteran Marin Cilic (No. 104 ATP) in the first round and then outplaying fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi (No. 36 ATP) in round two. Next up? A true litmus test against Alexander Zverev (No. 3 ATP). Win or lose, Cobolli’s rise is real, and Italy may just have another star in the making.

Lorenzo Musetti: Quiet Climb, Big Opportunity

Sometimes the best move is to rest. Lorenzo Musetti took a breather in the week leading up to Roland Garros, and while he didn’t hit a ball in competition, he still rose one spot to a career-high No. 7,  thanks to some shuffling above him in the rankings.

Musetti has looked sharp in Paris so far, using his graceful one-handed backhand and court craft to dispatch Yannick Hanfmann (No. 142 ATP) and Daniel Galan (No. 122 ATP) without dropping a set. He’ll face Mariano Navone next, a chance to continue building rhythm before the deeper waters of week two. With an open draw and his best tennis aligning with the surface, Musetti is in prime position to make a major statement.

Andrey Rublev: Finding the Fire Again

It’s been a difficult year for Andrey Rublev, but the tide may be turning. The 27-year-old Russian rose two spots to No. 15 after a spirited run to the Hamburg final, where he ultimately lost to Flavio Cobolli (No. 35 ATP). Along the way, he took down Felix Auger-Aliassime (No. 27 ATP) in commanding fashion and seemed to rediscover his powerful baseline game.

Though Rublev couldn’t close out the title, his performance brought much-needed momentum into Roland Garros. So far, he’s handled his early-round business with little drama, taking out Lloyd Harris (No. 227 ATP) and Adam Walton in straight sets. If he can keep this level up, a deep run in Paris could vault him back into the ATP Top 10 conversation. For now, the confidence is back — and that’s half the battle.

Hubert Hurkacz: A Mixed Week in Geneva and Paris

Hubert Hurkacz made a modest climb this week, moving three spots up to No. 28 after a strong showing at the ATP 250 in Geneva. He reached the final by beating the top seed, Taylor Fritz (No. 4 ATP), and cruising past Sebastian Ofner (No. 108 ATP) in the semis. Although he fell to Novak Djokovic (No. 6 ATP) in a tight three-set final, it was one of Hurkacz’s better performances this season.

But just as quickly as momentum came, it evaporated. In the first round of Roland Garros, Hurkacz was bounced in straight sets by 17-year-old phenom Joao Fonseca (No. 65 ATP). The loss underscores his inconsistent 2025 campaign, a year riddled with injuries and uncharacteristic early exits. While the Geneva final was a positive blip, it’s clear Hurkacz still has work to do to find the consistency that once made him a Top 10 mainstay.

Roberto Bautista Agut: The Veteran Still Has Fight

At 37, Roberto Bautista Agut is proving age is just a number. The Spanish veteran climbed eight spots to No. 49 after a mini-resurgence in Hamburg, where he defeated Marcus Giron (No. 49 ATP) and then stunned the No. 2 seed Frances Tiafoe (No. 16 ATP) en route to the quarterfinals. There, he finally ran into Flavio Cobolli (No. 35 ATP), who ended his run — but not his momentum.

Unfortunately, the Roland Garros draw was unkind, handing Bautista Agut a brutal first-round matchup against Holger Rune (No. 10 ATP), which he lost in straight sets. Still, his recent form suggests he’s not just playing out the string — he’s competing with real purpose. Whether it’s his last hurrah or the beginning of one final push, RBA continues to be a model of professionalism and grit.

Final Thoughts: Clay Court Chaos Before the French Finale

With the French Open heating up and some familiar names already on their way home, the ATP landscape is shifting fast. Flavio Cobolli’s emergence has added new flavor to the Italian tennis renaissance, joining Musetti and Sinner as players capable of shaking up the status quo. Rublev’s rebound and Bautista Agut’s resilience remind us that experience still counts, while Hurkacz’s inconsistency shows how fine the margins are at the top level.
