India’s highest ranked men’s singles player Somdev Devvarman advanced thirteen spots to hold the 101st position in the latest ATP rankings.
The Indian made the ranking leap after reaching the second round of the US Open, where he lost to Italy’s 20th seed Andreas Seppi.
The Tripura-born lad has been coming up with decent wins in recent times.
