New Delhi: Indian tennis sensation Sumit Nagal on Monday moved up six places to achieve the career-best ranking of 129 in the latest men's singles rankings.

Last week, Nagal failed to reach the final of ATP Challenger Campinas in Brazil as he lost in straight sets to Argentina's 325-ranked Juan Ficovich. He did not look in his elements right from the start as he lost the match 4-6, 1-6 which eventually turned out to be a one-sided contest on Saturday.
