Aleksandar Vukic has finished the 2022 season strongly – and been rewarded in the latest ATP Tour men’s singles rankings.

The 26-year-old won 11 of his 15 matches in the past month, which included a semifinal run at an ATP Challenger in Portugal last week. This sees Vukic rises eight places to world No.132.

Omar Jasika is at a new career-high this week, jumping up 20 spots to world No.230 after winning his fifth ITF title of the season. Jasika betters his previous career-high ranking of world No.239, achieved in April 2017.

Jasika has built a 61-23 win-loss record this season and after starting the year unranked, the resurgent 25-year-old is now the No.14-ranked Australian man.

Bernard Tomic continues to climb the rankings too, rising 39 spots to world No.471 after capturing his third ITF title in the past two months. The 30-year-old has slashed more than 350 places off his ranking since August.

Jeremy Jin is one of the biggest movers of the week, improving 108 places to world No.990. The 18-year-old makes his top-1000 debut after advancing to a first ITF quarterfinal.
