Kyrgios Cracks Top-20, Goffin Hits Career-High



Australian Nick Kyrgios is the only player under the age of 21 in the ATP’s Top-20. After his semifinal appearance at the Miami Open, Kyrgios rose six spots to a career-high ranking of 20 in the world, pushing past his compatriot Bernard Tomic to become the top-ranked Australian.

Kyrgios (currently 12th in the Race to London) has gone 14-4 thus far this year, and won his first career title in Marseille. He is only ten shy of his 2015 win total, and has gone 3-3 vs. the Top-10 and 5-3 vs. the Top-20.

Also rising to a career-high was Belgium’s David Goffin, who jumped two spots to No. 13 in the world this week. The 25-year-old reached back-to-back semifinals at Indian Wells and Miami to improve his record to 16-6 on the season.

In the Race to London, Novak Djokovic stretched his lead to 2,590 points over second-place Milos Raonic. The biggest mover in the Race to London standings was David Goffin, who jumps seven spots into a tie for 7th-place with Roberto Bautista Agut.

Four big-name qualifiers from last year are currently on the outside looking in at the race standings. Tomas Berdych (11), Roger Federer (13), Rafael Nadal (14) and David Ferrer (15) have all yet to find their groove. None of the four has won an ATP title this season.

In other ranking news, 18-year-old Taylor Fritz hit a new career-high at 79 in the world. He is the youngest player in the ATP’s Top-100.
