Sebastian Korda sets new career-high ranking with breakthrough into Top 40

Sebastian Korda is having the best season of his short career, as the American is set to make his debut in the Top 40 of the ATP Rankings.

The 21-year old has reached two ATP singles finals this year, finishing runner-up in Delray Beach before claiming his maiden title at Parma without dropping a set. Following his title victory, Korda pulled off some impressive wins, including a run to the fourth round of Wimbledon, to reach a career-high of World No.42.

The American defeated his compatriot Tommy Paul in the first round of the ongoing San Diego Open, and this win ensured Korda would reach a new career-high of World No.40. Furthermore, if Korda were to win the event, he could see his ranking rise as high as No.30.
