Edward Winter takes biggest mover honours this week, with the 18-year-old rising 271 spots to world No.663 after claiming his first ITF singles title at Traralgon.

Tristan Schoolkate, the runner-up to Winter in Traralgon, improves 30 places to a career-high world No.375.

Australian No.3 Chris O'Connell (up one spot to world No.78) is also at a new career-high this week.
