There is a lot of (overwhelmingly positive) movement in the rankings of the Oz players at the moment, and that seems likely to continue.
In the short term there are some interesting questions such as will Tomic overtake Kyrgios in the rankings; can one or both get seeded for RG/USO; when/if Lleyton drops out of the top 100; how far up can Groth and Kokkinakis make it this year.
For the longer term, how many will there be in the top 100 at the end of the year? And what will be the order?
So I thought it might be good to have a thread to discuss the Oz lads rankings.
And to kick off the discussion, here are the current rankings for those in the top 300 plus the number of places they've jumped since the end of last year in brackets):
Kyrgios 36 (+16)
Tomic 38 (+18)
Groth 69 (+12)
Matosevic 72 (+3)
Hewitt 98 (-48)
Duckworth 104 (+23)
Kokkinakis 133 (+17)
Millman 137 (+20)
Kubler 150 (-14)
Saville 162 (+3)
Bolt 164 (+38)
Smith 193 (+7)
Mitchell 204 (+32)
Thompson 231 (+43)
Ebden 285 (-56)
Propoggia 296 (+29)
