Men’s doubles
Jordan Thompson has capped off his career-defining season on a high note, climbing to his highest doubles ranking. The New South Welshman climbed two spots to world No.3 following his semifinal run at the ATP Finals in Turin with Max Purcell.
In 2024, Thompson won four doubles titles alongside Purcell, including a first major – the US Open – in September. He also claimed an ATP Masters 1000 title with top-20 singles player Sebastian Korda in Madrid in May.
Should he hold his position, Thompson will go into the Australian Open as the nation’s highest-ranked men’s doubles player since Todd Woodbridge in 2002.
Meanwhile, Patrick Harper broke into the top 200 for the first time in his career. His semifinal appearance at the Champaign Challenger saw the Aussie rise 14 spots to world No.187.
