I can't really predict anything concrete for GS's, what with the winner getting 1000 points etc. I'm seriously crap at it.
Ahead of him:
#1 Hewitt has 1000 points to defend. Tommy is over 1000 points behind him. Still, anything but another win would put tommy closer.
#2 Safin is roughly 200 points ahead, and has 450 SF points to defend. An early loss by him and a good run from tommy (poor shoulder tho) would swap them over.
Behind him:
#4 Kafelnikov has 450 SF points on the line, and is miles behind Tommy. No threat.
#5 Henman has 75 to defend. He should get more but only really high points would get us worried,
#6 Agassi has 250 QF points. I don't have the draw in my memory so I spose he could do a lot better.
Well since I mentioned Tommy's ranking in another thread I decided to check it at the ATP Site to see what it is. According to the ATP Site as of 7/28/08 Tommy was ranked #42 which was up 4 positions So he is getting that ranking up some, but it is going to be hard work But at least that is one thing about Tommy he has never been one to shy away from hard work
I hope Tommy can reach the top 32 before New York. He needs around 100 (?) points imo...minimum, not impossible but a good result in LA or Washington is necessary...better two

Well since so many players are going to be in China L.A. and Washington will be weak field Tournaments. Now if Tommy can just stay healthy he should be able to do well at these Tournaments
As it stands on Monday,Tommy is now ranked #40..He had to defend those points from Washington last year after all as we can see that these points are removed and replaced by this Cincy 75pt..Which means that he gained 25..He is now on 890.
Am I right,or I misunderstood it ?
Right you are. But he will lose his points gained in Toronto and Cincy last year, next week and the week after that, respectively. At the same time, the 35 points from Halle and San Jose will be added again.
So regarding the points he has now, 45 are going to be gone again; however, he already defended his USO series points from last year. We just see by now that this wasn't really much to defend, and to climb again in the ranking, he needs some good results in the next couple of weeks.

Good,yeah I know that he will lose those last year Toronto and Cincy pt,once when those 52 weeks comes..But again,knowing that those no-countable will be added then he won't lose that much pints..
So hope for good next weeks,as he can really get into top32...I think that only matters for him right now,and it should...
I have the feeling that the ranking are much more complicated this year because of the changed schedule because of the Olympics... I get totally confused about when which points come off.
I just hope that Tommy somehow manages to do very well in these next tournaments to get that seeding.
That's why I like the ATP Site. It's tells you a player's ranking so you don't have to figure it out yourself :lol: And speaking of the ATP Site it shows Tommy's ranking as of today 8/4/08 as being #40 which is up 2 positions
We are back on zero now as Canada has been removed from last year in Tommy's ranking breakdown...Tommy is now #48 but he won't loss any points in future (except 5p from Cincy last year,once they are removed)
So,Tommy will have to do all his best now if he wants to make to the top32 before USO...After all we will be expecting some withdrawals that could lead Tommy to the top32... Hardly but there is still hope that he can do it !
Well, Tommy has it in his own hands, but it's going to be tough. A victory in DC would do it for sure; reaching the final may also suffice in the end. But the semis probably won't be enough.
Let's see.
We are saying that if gets top32,he will avoid players who will be seeded in first two rounds,I think that's very important as he needs a good draw there..
Wait a sec..I just saw this...Tommy won't have to defend anything here in Wash,as I can see that points from last year are gone ! As Tommy hadn't played any tours last year this time,he will gain now full points from Wash this week.Right?
Also,Tommy will have bonus of 10pt...If I am right those points from Cincy last year will be removed next week and San Jose as non-countable tour will becomes countable...So when San Jose jumps in..That will be 15 point...Minus 5pt from Cincy last year...Equals...10 points...
You know,I am worry about that last tour before USO that Tommy won't play,there will be many of those players who will also try to reach the top32..Are we in threat by them?
Well, some will win points, some will lose points, so I guess it's hard to say. I think if Tommy wins Washington (still a long way to go) he should be save. If he reaches the final, he just needs a little bit of luck. Let's wait and see. Right now, Tommy has to fight for the best initial position possible. The rest is Karma.

Yeah,that's it...I think I will be calculating everything after this week,I will watch every movement of a player who can be a threat to Tommy on his way to the top32
As I can see,player like Nieminen,Moya,Monaco,Hewitt will lose lot of points the next Monday as they didn't defend their pt from last year...That's even more chance for Tommy to do well...

I have been a fan of Tommy's for years and I love him dearly :inlove: But the posting in here needs a reality check at times. If I didn't know better and just came in and read these posts, I would think Tommy was a young and healthy athlete--not a 30 year old player that has had 3 shoulder surgeries on his serving arm. It doesn't matter all that much if Tommy is seeded or unseeded at the U.S. Open because sad to say he is not doing to win the Tournament Tommy's career is on borrowed time now and we all just should be happy he is still able to stay on the Tour, pick up some wins, and we can still see him play He was able to win some Tournaments with two shoulder surgeries which was amazing to me, however, I don't know about him winning Tournaments now after the 3rd surgery And not just because of the surgery, but also more and more younger players who have talent are coming up fast in the rankings like Juan.
I know your point,We all know big reality of Tommy's,but always reminding how he had those surgeries won't benefit for anyone especially Tommy...
But as long as he is able to play I will have faith in him like I had all those years back..
I think there was a little mistake to our ranking calculations. Tommy will NOT gain 10 extra points, because while Cincy from last year will be removed, San Jose will NOT be added again, since this week's result in Washington takes over that spot in the "Best 5 other" list. So this means he will still lose the 5 points from Cincy, and thus will only gain 70 points on the whole, instead of 85 as we originally thought.
Yeah well, let's see who loses points by the end of the week, and then who's actually in the USO field. I guess it's only a small chance ... but even if he's not seeded, he can still have luck with the draw.
