Matt Ebden has been rewarded for his consistency on the ATP Challenger circuit with a rise of six places in the latest ATP World Tour rankings.
The Western Australian now sits at world No.110, within striking distance of a return to the world’s top 100. He peaked at No.61 in October 2012.
Ebden had dipped to No.135 just one month ago, but has hit something of a purple patch in his past four events; he reached the semifinals in Kaohsiung, Korea, and went all the way to the final in Napa, California, before reaching the quarters in Sacramento.
And last week, he progressed to another final, this time in Tiburon, California.
The 25-year-old has now won 13 of his past 17 matches, and with a top-100 ranking almost secured, he would be ensured direct entry into the main draw at Grand Slam events, including the Australian Open coming up in less than three months.
