Jaime Faria has reached the top 60 of the men’s world tennis rankings for the first time, and is now ranked 60th. The one-place rise came from reaching the second round of the tournament in Tokyo, Japan, and is the Portuguese player’s career-high ranking.
Henrique Rocha also reached a personal best: he climbed 21 places to 106th after winning the Porto Challenger. Nuno Borges remains the highest-ranked Portuguese player, in 51st place.
In doubles, Francisco Cabral, world number 30, won the Hangzhou tournament in China the previous week alongside the American JJ Tracy. On the women’s side, Francisca Jorge is the highest-ranked Portuguese player, in 214th place, followed by her sister, Matilde Jorge, in 250th.
