As so often happens in tennis, it wasn't Sunday's winners who made the biggest charges in the ATP rankings, but the men who almost got it done.

Open 13 runner-up Marin Cilic improved seven spots to No. 21, and Memphis finalist Milos Raonic leapt 22 places to No. 37 in the rankings released Monday morning.

Raonic has now climbed 116 spots since the start of 2011.

The top 15 places were unchanged, with Mardy Fish and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga changing places at 16 and 17.

Stosur rose to No. 4 in the world, passing Francesca Schiavone by 35 points (5,086-5,051) after reaching the Dubai quarterfinals. She was defeated there by Jankovic, who had her best finish in six months, and was rewarded accordingly, jumping two spots to No. 6, jumping the upset Na Li and the idle Venus Williams.

Wozniacki now has a 595-point lead on Clijsters for the No. 1 spot.  Wozniacki will have the chance to pad her lead this week as she takes part in the WTA Qatar Ladies Open in Doha, a 470-po...
