Jordan Thompson set to get huge rankings boost on back of impressive run at s-Hertogenbosch

While Jordan Thompson couldn’t make the most of his first venture into an ATP final, the 25-year-old is still set to pick up a nice reward ahead of Wimbledon.

Jordan Thompson was beaten by Adrian Mannarino at s-Hertogenbosch.

Jordan Thompson has entered uncharted territory after the 25-year-old’s stunning northern hemisphere form catapulted him into the top 50 for the first time.

Beaten 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 in the s-Hertogenbosch final by France’s Adrian Mannarino, Thompson will move to No 46 in the world rankings.

On a hot form streak after reaching the French Open’s third round, Thompson joins Alex de Minaur (No 26) and Nick Kyrigos (39) in the top 50.

Unlike his higher-ranked compatriots, who are playing the Fever-Tree Championship at Queen’s Club, Thompson will contest a Challenger event at Ilkley this week.

Jordan Thompson had to play second fiddle to Adrian Mannarino.

“(I am) feeling disappointed to lose in that final, but I am very happy to make my first final,” Thompson said.

“It was a great week for me.

“I really took advantage of playing well on the grass. It is disappointing to lose in the final, but a great week nonetheless.”

Thompson downed Tommy Paul, Frances Tiafoe, de Minaur and Richard Gasquet in a break-out display of grasscourt excellence.

He held two set points at 6-4 in the first set tiebreak but could not capitalise.

Freshly-crowned French Open champion Ashleigh Barty resumes this week at the Nature Valley Classic in Birmingham.

The world No 2 Queenslander has a tough first-round assignment against in-form Donna Vekic.
