Jacquet wins the Chennai Challenger and will leap up the rankings
Kyrian Jacquet was unable to take part in the Australian Open qualifiers due to his low ranking.
The Frenchman put in a faultless performance at the Chennai Challenger, beating Elias Ymer 7-6, 6-4 in the final.
On Monday, he will be ranked 204th in the ATP rankings, up 69 places. Thanks to this victory, he is virtually assured of a place in the French Open qualifiers.
The Frenchman remains in India, to play in New Delhi the week of February 10, hoping to string together a string of victories. He will face Sho Shimabukuro in the first round.
