JOHANNESBURG –  South Africa’s Kevin Anderson maintained his ranking of eighth in the ATP singles rankings on Monday.

The 32-year-old first reached No 8 in the world on February 26, and improved to a career high of seventh on May 14.

The South African started 2017 at No 80 in the ATP Rankings after an injury-ravaged 2016. 

It was his lowest mark since August 2010. Anderson reached a then career-high ranking of 10th in October 2015 soon after beating Britain’s Andy Murray to reach the US Open quarterfinals.

The next best among the men is Lloyd Harris, who is ranked 212th.

In the women’s singles, Chanel Simmonds is the top-ranked SA representative at 280th.
