WACO, Texas - Former Baylor tennis player John Peers reached his highest ATP ranking of his career Monday with the release of the latest ATP rankings.

Peers moved up to No. 7 in the ATP Tour doubles rankings, a new career high. He is the highest ranked Australian and jumps up seven spots from his rank two weeks ago. Partnering with Jamie Murray, Peers reached his second-straight Grand Slam finals at the U.S. Open on Sunday.

The pair defeated the duo of Sam Querrey (No. 82) and Steve Johnson (No. 168) in the semi-final round. Peers and Murray then fell to Pierre-Hugues Herbert (No. 21) and Nicolas Mahut (No. 23) of France 6-4, 6-4. Peers and Murray also finished as runners up at Wimbledon on July 12.
