American Chris Eubanks, on the heels of his breakout party at the majors, where he reached the quarterfinals on his Wimbledon main draw debut, is the biggest riser inside the ATP’s Top 40 in this week’s rankings.
27-year-old Eubanks, ranked 123 at the start of the season, jumps 12 points to No.31 in this week’s rankings, capping a move that took him from 77 in the world in June to likely being a seeded player at this year’s US Open.
Eubanks, who won his maiden ATP title at Mallorca just two days before Wimbledon kicked off, is 16-11 on the season and has earned $1,053,905 in prize money to bring his career haul to $2,248,987.
The Atlanta native isn’t the only player enjoying a big move up the rankings this week.
