Radek Stepanek is aiming to get his ranking back up so he can play ATP events regularly again.
The Czech won just his third match of the season when he defeated Edouard Roger Vasselin in the first round of Bogota, where he received a wildcard.
The 36-year-old, who was sidelined with back injury, returned to the tour during the clay season and has played four challengers and five ATP events. Now ranked No. 369, he is confident he can climb higher.
"My back feels 100 percent right now," the former world No. 8 said. "If I can stay healthy, even at my age, I feel I can get back to Top 100."
