Tennis star Tim Henman is back in the top 40
Tennis star Tim Henman has gone back up into the top 40 in the world rankings after his performance in the Japan Open final against Roger Federer on Sunday.
Tim Henman, 32, moved up 15 places to 40th even though he lost in straight sets.
Tim Henman now needs to gain a place in the top 32 to be sure of a seeding for the Australian Open in January.
Tim Henman said: "There are plenty of positives for me to take from the trip as I've showed on the court what I've been feeling in practice for a while now."
Elsewhere, Scottish star Andy Murray's second-round defeat at the hands of Jiri Novak saw him drop one place to 20th., whilst Alex Bogdanovic moved up 27 places to a career-high 119th after reaching the final of the Mons Challenger in Belgium.
And Jamie Murray, Andy Murray's tennis-playing brother, has become Britain's number one doubles player for the first time at a career-high 88 on the world list.
