PARIS.- The tennis player Joao Fonsecawinner on Sunday of the tournament Basel ATP 500reached 28th place in the ranking on Monday ATPa new milestone in the career of the 19-year-old Brazilian.

After defeating the Spanish Alexander Davidovich (N.15) in the final of the Swiss tournament, Fonseca gained 18 positions, joining the Top 30 for the first time, before the Paris Masters 1000, which starts this Monday, and in which the Brazilian will enter the fray on Tuesday against the Canadian Denis Shapovalov.

The only changes in the Top 10 are the exchange of positions between the Australian Alex de Minaurwhich reaches N.6 to the detriment of the American Ben Shelton (N.7), and the return among the ten best of the Norwegian Casper Ruud (N.9) and from the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (N.10).

The Paris tournament will also decide the four tennis players who will accompany the already qualified Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev and Djokovic to the ATP Finals in Turin.
