NEW DELHI: Continuing his upward ascent in the ATP singles list, Sumit Nagal of India reached a career-high ranking of 71 on Monday.
Last week, he set a new best of 77, according to PTI.
Following his Sunday runner-up result at the Perugia ATP Challenger tournament, the Olympic-bound Nagal moved up six spots.
The 26-year-old has accrued 777 ATP points thus far and will be the only Indian competing in the men's singles category at the Olympics in Paris.

Nagal's recent run of strong performances has not only raised his rating but also qualified him for the singles competition at the Paris Games.
An incredible performance in the Australian Open's second round kicked off the year. Nagal, who lost in the opening round of the French Open, will play in Wimbledon's main tournament and then the Paris Olympics at Roland Garros.
He had won the men's singles title at the Chennai Open in February and the Heilbronn Neckarcup 2024 Challenger in Heilbronn, Germany, earlier this month.
Since 2023, Nagal, the top-ranked Indian singles player, has won four ATP Challenger titles; his fourth clay-court victory came in Heilbronn.
