Czech Menšík climbs to career-high 12th in tennis rankings

Tennis player Jakub Menšík has climbed one spot to 12th in the sport’s world rankings, his highest ever placing. The Czech moved closer to the top 10 after reaching the quarter-finals of the Dubai Championships last week.

This season Menšík, who is 20, has also reached the semi-finals in Doha and won a title in Auckland. He was forced to withdraw from the Australian Open before the round of 16 due to injury.
