Australia, 14 February 2022 | tennis.com.au
Men’s singles
Alex de Minaur has improved two places to world No.32 in the latest ATP Tour men’s singles rankings.
The Australian, who is set to celebrate his 23rd birthday later this week, advanced to his first quarterfinal of the season in Rotterdam last week.
It is a welcome return to form for De Minaur, who had not progressed to a quarterfinal since his title-winning run at Eastbourne in June last year.
In other news, Aleksandar Vukic has improved to three spots this week to a career-high world No.135.
Dane Sweeny is another Aussie on the rise. The 21-year-old from Queensland captured his first professional singles title last week, overcoming fellow Aussie Akira Santillan in a three-set final at an ITF tournament in Canberra. Currently ranked No.519, Sweeny is set to rise even higher in coming weeks.
