Men’s singles

Max Purcell and Aleksandar Vukic have soared to new career-highs in the latest ATP Tour men’s singles rankings.

Purcell, who has advanced to six ATP Challenger finals so far this season, improves 20 places to world No.67. It continues a remarkable rise for the 25-year-old, who was ranked outside the world’s top 200 in February.

Vukic has been in red-hot form on the ATP Challenger Tour as well, winning 18 of his past 23 matches. This has helped the 27-year-old halve his ranking in the past three months. From world No.201 in late February, Vukic makes his top-100 debut this week at world No.95.

Adam Walton is also celebrating a major milestone. The 24-year-old makes his top-300 debut this week, rising 19 places to world No.288 after recently capturing his fourth career ITF title.
