New Delhi: Reaping rewards of his consistent performance, Prajnesh Gunneswaran Monday broke into men’s singles top-100 for the first time in his career with a jump of six places that took him to 97. Prajnesh is only third Indian player to break into the top-100 barrier in the past decade after Somdev Devvarman and Yuki Bhambri.

The gritty left-hander, who had a brilliant 2018 season, reached the semifinals of the ATP Chennai Challenger last week to ensure his entry into the coveted bracket. If Prajnesh can maintain his rank inside top-100, it will secure him entry into Grand Slam singles main draws., In recent times, only Yuki managed to make the top-100 grade.
