Novak Djokovic remains world number one in the latest ATP tennis rankings, ahead of Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Stan Wawrinka.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga moves up one place in this week’s Top 20 after winning his 12th ATP title on Sunday.

Tsonga, now ranked 16th in the world, defeated fellow Frenchman Gilles Simon in the Moselle Open final.

The pair had previously met in the 2013 final when Simon claimed the title, but this time, Tsonga secored a 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 6-2 victory.

Tsonga saved six break points in the opening set before taking the tie-break, but struggled in the second set.

However, he found his range in the decider after missing a number of forehands earlier in the contest.

“I am very happy, it was a big first set,” said Tsonga after his win in Metz.

“It’s always tricky to play against Gilles, the ball always comes back.”

Simon, the world No. 10, added: “He was more solid than me on the important points, especially in the first set.”

Dominic Thiem is also a climber in this week’s Top 20.
