I forgot to mention one notable milestone. At Indian Wells, Anil Mehul went over the $1 million mark in career earnings at about the time he turned 23. He became the top Sri Lankan in that category earlier in the year, with Prakash Manohari the previous holder at $913k and change. Manohari still holds the mark for wins(660 singles, 287 doubles). Jiten Dhatri has 390 in doubles which is at the top of that list. Mehul is at 319 and 167 but has a similar winning percentage of about .769 -- he's got a couple decades to go so the wins mark will fall in time. A couple of other journeyman-type players are around 400, including Manohar(388).
In terms of titles, nobody really has much to say yet. Mehul is still pursuing his first pro-level(meaning, everything above Challenger, 250s and above) championship. You'd have to go down to the Challengers where Mehul and Chittoor both have three victories. In terms of juniors, Chittoor(15 titles), Girsh(10), and Mehul(9) lead the way, though none of them won any of the big events.
