Sock, who was a finalist in Savannah back in 2014, will see his ranking improve to a season high world No. 123 from Monday.



Harrison, who entered Savannah fresh off a doubles title at last week’s Challenger event in Tallahassee, will now be ranked at world No. 198.

Briton Jay Clarke defeated Adrian Menendez-Maceiras 6-1, 4-6, 7-6(5) to lift the trophy at the Morellos Challenger on Sunday.



Clarke’s victory marks his third title at ATP Challenger level from seven finals appearances.


From Monday, Clarke will climb to world No. 161, eight spots shy of the career high that he reached in 2019.



36-year-old Menendez-Maceiras, who is now 4-13 in Challenger Tour finals, will reach world No. 351 after his run in Mexico.

The Frenchman will be listed at a career high ranking of world No. 214 when he opens his campaign at the Challenger event in Prague against Sebastian Ofner on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Agamenone will soon hold a career-high ranking of world No. 151 when he commences his week at the Mauthausen Challenger on Tuesday.


Moroni’s trip to the final in Rome will see him rewarded with a new career-high ranking of world No. 164.
