Italy's Jannik Sinner is moving up to
a career high of 37th in the world singles ranking on Monday
after winning his first ATP Tour title at the Sofia Open on
Saturday.
The 19-year-old became the youngest ATP Tour titlist since 2008
with a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(3) victory over Vasek Pospisil.
Sinner, who won the Next Gen ATP Finals last year, said he hopes
the triumph is the first of many.
"It's a great progress of hard work," he told the ATP's website.
"I have a great team behind me. I'm very excited about this
result because sometimes you need them; obviously you're working
hard, so sometimes a result (like this) is good and great to
see.
"I's a great progress, but there's still a lot of work to do. We
will see in a few years where I am, but I think right now I'm
very happy about the title this win".
