The breakthrough run at the Indian Wells has propelled India's Prajnesh Gunneswaran to a career-high rank of 84 but injured Yuki Bhambri on Monday dropped out of top-200 for the first time in almost two years.  Prajnesh, who stunned world number 18 Nikoloz Basilashvili to register the biggest win of his career after reaching the third round at the ATP Master series event, collected 61 points in the recently released ATP rankings.

The performance helped him zoom 13 places to his new career-best ranking. He was followed by Ramkumar Ramanathan (139), who dropped three places. Saketh Myneni (251) and Sasi Kumar Mukund (268) were the next best in the singles. In the Women's Tennis Association rankings, Ankita Raina continues to be India's top-ranked player at 168. She was followed by Karman Kaur Thandi, who jumped seven places to 203.

Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan also reached a career-high of 64 in the doubles and is now the third highest-ranked player in the country, behind Rohan Bopanna (36) and Divij Sharan (41). Yuki is probably the most unlucky Indian singles player, whose progress has been halted by one or other injury. Whenever he has managed to break the top-100 bracket, injuries forced him to be out of action.
