Somdev rises to career-best 62 in ATP rankings

Indian tennis star Somdev Devvarman climbed six places in the latest ATP rankings to touch a career-best 62nd position in the singles list.

The 26-year-old, who took a break from the circuit after Wimbledon and was since then losing points, made it to the quarter-finals of last week's Tour event in Atlanta, which helped him gain places.

The pair of Paes and Bhupathi is at number four in the team rankings, while Bopanna and Aisam-ul-haq Qureshi remained at number six.

In the WTA rankings, Sania Mirza jumped two places to be 62 in singles, while she maintained her 11th position in the doubles.
