Max Purcell is also celebrating a major milestone, making his top-100 debut after sweeping a third consecutive ATP Challenger title in India. This propels the 24-year-old, who was ranked No.203 three weeks ago, up 21 places to a career-high world No.95.

Chris O’Connell (up six places to world No.86) and Thanasi Kokkinakis (up seven spots to world No.94) are also on the move following their second-round appearances at an ATP 500 tournament in Dubai.
