After Reaching M15 Vaasa Semis, Bulus Hits Highest Ever ATP Ranking

Nigeria’s Christopher Bulus has continued soaring on the ATP Ranking after his consistent impressive performances on the tennis circuit.

Bulus, Nigeria’s only player on the ATP ranking, reached the semifinal of an M15 tournament for the first time ever during the M15 Vaasa event in Finland last week.

He lost to Guillaume Dalmasso in a final set match that ended 5-7, 6-2, 4-6 in what would have been his first final appearance on the pro circuit since he started playing a few years ago.

Following that performance, the Nigerian Davis Cup player who helped Nigeria gain promotion from Africa Group III to World Group II play-offs within the space of one year, has now taken a giant leap on the ATP Rankings.

Nigeria Tennis Live checks on the live rankings show that Bulus moved 124 places on the log to reach 1020, representing his highest ranking point ever on the ATP.

Previously, his highest career rank on the ATP was 1127, which he attained a few months ago, but his recent performances have pushed him further up on the log as he continues putting Nigeria on the global tennis map.

Recall that he was a quarterfinalist at the M15 Xativa event in Spain two weeks ago, which was also a first for him, a development which shot him up by 82 places on the ATP rankings.

His current run of form has seen him reach a career-high ranking spot after his consistency on the courts in the past few weeks, especially since the Davis Cup event which Nigeria hosted in Abuja, the nation’s Federal Capital.

Our correspondent can report that Bulus is currently in Tunisia, where he is also participating in the M15 Monastir event which he hopes will further shoot him upwards the rankings in the coming weeks.
