Anderson equals career-best ranking─── ADRIAN BOTHA 10:21 Tue, 20 Mar 2018
South African tennis star Kevin Anderson has moved up one spot to number 8 on the latest official ATP rankings to equal his career-best position on the coveted list.
This follows his run to the quarter-finals of last week’s Indian Wells Masters and despite a loss to Croatia’s Borna Coric, Anderson remains positive as it was enough to overtake Belgium's David Goffin who fell from 7th to 9th in the rankings.
After missing out on the opportunity to play in his first Masters 1000 semi-final, the 31-year-old now shifts his focus to this weeks Miami Masters that takes place at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park.
ATP rankings on March 19:
1. Roger Federer (SUI) 9660 pts
2. Rafael Nadal (ESP) 9370
3. Marin Cilic (CRO) 4905
4. Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) 4600
5. Alexander Zverev (GER) 4505
