Grigor Dimitrov, Bulgaria's best male tennis player, has moved 15 places up the ATP ranking list, reaching No. 86.
Dimitrov's significant ranking improvement is due to his impressive run at the Miami Masters where he defeated Juan Ignacio Chela and Tomas Berdych to reach the fourth round, his win against Bedrych being his first against a Top 10 player.
The 20-year-old Bulgarian's highest ranking was No. 52 (August 22, 2011).
As of April 2 2012, Novak Djokovic is world No. 1, followed by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Janko Tipsarevic, who defeated Dimitrov in straight sets in Miami, has moved up one spot to a career-best No. 8.
