However, the Vilnius man succeeded in the US Open tournament and did enough to rise to the heights of the ATP rankings.
Currently at rung 65 of the world rankings, R. Berankis in the new ATP lineup, which will appear a week later, should rush into the top 60 after a very long hiatus.
Richard, who reached the third round of the US Open for the first time in his career and won 90 ATP points and $ 163,000 (€ 136,000) in a big game on the New York cards, is projected to now climb to 59th in the ATP ranking. This position may still change minimally if one of the players below Lithuania is suddenly shot in the US.
In any case, R. Berankis will climb at least a few steps and find himself as high as he has not been in more than four years, the last time a Lithuanian was in the top 60 ATP rankings before the Lithuanian national soccer team. was happy with the victory in the official match.
In the evening, the Lithuanians won three points in European stadiums in early October 2016, when they defeated Malta 2: 0 at home, and Ričardas finished 58th in the ATP rankings in July 2016. Since then, R. Berankis, whose best achievement is the TOP-50, has not risen above the 62nd position.
The first fifty are considered the elite of tennis. It is currently closed by former rocket ship from the fifth planet, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who has played in the semifinals of three of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The Australian Open only stumbled in the final, where 6: 4, 4: 6, 3: 6, 6: 7 (2: 7) fell to N. Djokovic.
Although R. Berankis himself has yet to achieve significant victories in men’s tournaments of this rank, in 2007 he has even triumphed in the US Open youth competition.
We remind you that the attention of Lithuanian tennis this year in the first round of the US Open 7: 6 (7: 3), 4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 4 Italico Gaio (ATP 132), and in the second 7: 5, 6: 2, 1: 6, 7: 6 (7: 1) got along well with American Steve Johnson (ATP 64).
