The biggest mover in the top 100 is Spanish veteran Albert Montanes, whose win at the Nice Open on Saturday propels him up 35 places to 47th in the world.
There are are no changes in the top 20 of the womens WTA rankings, where American star Serena Williams remains No. 1, ahead of Russias Maria Sharapova and Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
There are big moves as Chinas Shuai Peng, soars 11 places to No. 23 after coming second in Brussels to Estonias Kaia Kanepi, up 14 at No. 26.
