NEW DELHI: India's Sumit Nagal continued his rise up the ATP singles charts and reached a career-best ranking of 71st on Monday.
His previous best was 77 runs last week.
Nagal, who has qualified for the Olympics, jumped six places after finishing runner-up at the Perugia ATP Challenger tournament on Sunday.
The 26-year-old, who will be the only Indian in the men's singles event at the Paris Olympics, has earned 777 ATP points so far.
A series of impressive results in recent times have helped Nagal not only improve her ranking but also book a berth in the singles event at the Paris Games.
The year began with a historic second round appearance at the Australian Open. While he exited the French Open in the first round, Nagal is set to compete in the main draw of Wimbledon, followed by the Paris Olympics at Roland Garros.
He won the men's singles crown at the Heilbronn Neckarcup 2024 Challenger event in Germany earlier this month and the Chennai Open in February.
Nagal, who is currently the best-ranked Indian singles player, has won four ATP Challenger titles since 2023 and this was his fourth title on Heilbronn clay.
