Alexei Popyrin and Aleksandar Vukic are on the rise in the latest ATP Tour men’s singles rankings.
Popyrin improves 10 places to world No.121 after progressing to the semifinals at an ATP Challenger event in France last week. It is a welcome return to form for the 23-year-old, who entered the tournament on a five-match losing streak.
Vukic takes biggest mover honours, improving 24 spots to world No.141 after recording a runner-up finish at an ATP Challenger in Canada. It was 26-year-old Vukic’s fifth career final at ATP Challenger level – and second this season.

Women’s doubles
Storm Sanders remains the top-ranked Australian in the latest WTA doubles rankings.
After playing a starring role on the singles court in Australia’s Billie Jean King Cup Finals campaign, Sanders admits she is reconsidering her goals for 2023.
“It’s been an amazing year. I have achieved a lot of career goals of mine in doubles. I love playing doubles,” said Sanders, who has prioritised doubles this season.
“I guess for me when I came back in 2018, I was injured for a full year and I didn’t think I was ever going to play singles again. For me to be playing well in singles, it’s a huge bonus.
“I need to kind of sit back and reflect and work out my schedule for next year.”
