They finished July ranked 22,235th, rising from 27,322nd from the beginning of the month.

Their 55 points playing singles are combined with 15 percent of their doubles points and any bonus points for a 22,235th ranking.

Players earn points per round in tournaments, winning higher points the further into a tournament they advance.

Jarett Cascino of New York Tennis Magazine says tennis is one of the most competitive youth sports.

“There is always someone better than you on any given day, even if you are the number one player in the world!” he said.
