The consistent Divij Sharan broke into the top-50 for a career-high ranking while Sania Mirza dropped out of top-10 for the first time since March 2014 as the latest ATP and WTA charts were issued on Monday.
The left-handed Sharan reached the final of the last three tournaments he participated in, winning the ATP 250 European Open while ending runner-up at Challenger events in Brest and Tashkent with different partners.
He is ranked exactly 50th after gaining a place.
The 31-year-old Delhi player did not let his split with long-time partner Purav Raja affect him as he consistently did well on the Tour despite not having a stable partnership.
Now India has two top-50 players in doubles with Rohan Bopanna (15) leading the chart.
In the doubles, Sania was on Monday placed at number 12 following a loss of three places.
Sania figured consistently in top-10 since March 17, 2013. The last time she featured outside top-10 was on March 3, 2013.
The Hyderabadi was world number one in doubles through the entire 2016 season. Her slide started this season when she could not qualify for the year-end WTA Finale.
MURRAY, DJOKOVIC, FAll OUT OF ATP TOP-10
Paris: Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic dropped outside the ATP top 10 for the first time in years in the latest rankings released on Monday. The 30-year-old Murray plummeted from third to 16th after not playing since July with a hip injury.
Djokovic, struggling with an elbow injury, was last seen in action in the Wimbledon quarter-finals when he retired against Tomas Berdych.
The 12-time Grand Slam winner ends the year in 12th, down five places, for his lowest ranking since March 2007.
