Devvarman's best ranking keeps him in good stead for the us open, Davis cup
India's Somdev Devvarman broke into the top-100 of the tennis rankings in singles, jumping seven spots to 96 in the ATP chart yesterday.
His career-best rankings will be a shot in the arm for him before the US Open later this month.
Somdev was ranked 126 at the start of the year, but his ranking plummeted to 162 by the third week of January. He reached the ATP Tour quarter-final of the SA Open in Johannesburg and second round of the ATP World Tour 500 series in Dubai where he lost to Marcos Baghdatis.
Somdev, who leads India's singles challenge in Davis Cup, also qualified for the French Open and went down to Switzerland's Marco Chiudinelli in the first round.
He reached his maiden ATP Tour event finals in Chennai Open last year.
