It is the highest rank Mugabe has climbed to since turning professional last year. He has bagged 17 points this year by competing in the East African ITF/Futures circuit compared to 14 last year.
He gained five extra points when he reached the semi-finals in Burundi and another two for the quarterfinal. He slipped in the Kampala where he was a second round loser thereby gaining just a point.
However, he garnered nine points from the Kenya F1 where he reached his maiden final as a professional. He was at 769 in the last world ranking.
