Li Tu is the biggest mover in the latest ATP Tour men’s singles rankings, rising more than 100 places after capturing the biggest title of his career. The 26-year-old now sits at world No.190 after winning an ATP Challenger title in Korea.
It was an emotional victory for Tu, following the recent passing of his mother, and provides a stunning new chapter in his incredible comeback story. Tu had been working as a tennis coach in Adelaide and was unranked this time 14 months ago.
