Chris O'Connell has climbed to a new career-high in the latest ATP Tour men's singles rankings. The 28-year-old rises 18 places to world No.84 after winning his second ATP Challenger title of the season.

This makes O'Connell the third-ranked Australian, leapfrogging both Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis, with his victory in Japan.
