Men’s singles
Although Alex de Minaur’s Wimbledon campaign ended in heartbreak due to injury, the latest ATP Tour singles rankings have provided a welcome silver lining.
By reaching his first quarterfinal at the prestigious All England Club, the 25-year-old rises three spots to a career-high world No.6.
This is the highest position achieved by an Australian man in more than 18 years and sees De Minaur become one of the highest-ranked Aussies in the 51-year history of the ATP Tour rankings.
Only six Australian men have reached a higher ranking position – John Newcombe (No.1), Pat Rafter (No.1), Lleyton Hewitt (No.1), Ken Rosewall (No.2), Rod Laver (No.3) and Pat Cash (No.4).
De Minaur’s new career-high is not the only good news story in Australian tennis this week.
With Adam Walton returning to the world’s top 100 following his stunning Wimbledon debut, it marks the first time since January 1982 that there are 10 Australians inside the top 100.
