Gilles Simon rises to #11 this week after winning Hamburg this year. Earlier this year, he also won the Sydney title. Simon had had to win over three players ranked higher than him to win the title, starting with Monfils (#7) in the qfs, Youzhny (#17) in the semi's and Almagro (#14) in the finals. Going into Hamburg, he was ranked #18. Now, with the Hamburg title, Simon is knocking on the door of the Top 10 once more. He reached as high as #6 in 2009.
