Men’s singles
Alex de Minaur’s run to a fifth semifinal of the season in Vienna has been rewarded with a return to his career-best mark of world No.6.
Following a quarterfinal win over Italian former world No.6 Matteo Berrettini at the ATP 500 event in Austria, De Minaur succumbed for the 12th time from as many encounters with world No.1 and eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the last four.
Having notched his 300th career win in the first round, De Minaur passed another milestone following his quarterfinal win over former Wimbledon finalist Berrettini as the first man this year to have secured 40 hard-court wins.
With only two weeks to go until the ATP Finals in Turin, the 26-year-old is in a strong position to qualify for the second straight season, which he could do this week at the Paris Masters.

Women’s singles
Ajla Tomljanovic’s October form surge continued in Guangzhou where she cleared the first hurdle with an upset of fifth seed Alicia Parks before a loss to Caty McNally in the second round.
The win was enough to elevate the 32-year-old three spots in the latest rankings to world No.86 and continued her upward trend having soared back into the top 100 two weeks ago following her Ningbo WTA 500 quarterfinal.
Tomljanovic is on the verge of a top-80 return in Hong Kong this week where she is already through to the second round.

Blake Bayldon returned to the top 100 in doubles after claiming the Suzhou Challenger title in China.

Despite a loss to Perez/Townsend in the opening round in Tokyo, Storm Hunter climbed two places to world No.36. Hunter and American Desirae Krawczyk were coming off a run to the Osaka final four days before.
