Instead of individual player threads I think this is easier for me.

Right now our tennis is pretty good. We have 5 inside the top 100 with 2 more ready to break into it.

Volandri is looking good in the top 35, although whether he can get to top 25 or so on seems hard as he is useless on any surface but Clay.

Seppi is slowly moving up the rankings now. Up to 77 and still moving up. Hopefully he can get nearer to 50 by the end of '05

Starace is going downwards and is already down to 94. Hes not in good form so he will need to get his confidence back quickly and surely he will want ton stay in the top 100 this year.

Di Mauro is at 99, but to be honest he is not really a top 100 player. He is not good on the main ATP tour but he has done well to reach his mark.

Sanguinetti in the top 60 is great,m the old man still has legs.

To come.... Bracciali, Aldi, Bolelli and Fognini :worship:

Yes Davide once more the only Italian left in the master series event going into round 2.

Bracciali played well though, but lost in 3 sets to Roddick, all of which went to tie-breaks.

Sanguinetti lost :( 6-7 6-4 6-4 6-4

He battled well with Massu, but the Chilean had a little extra in his game.

Bracciali is playing now with Simon of France. Current score is Bracciali *3-4. Lot of pressure from Daniele in previous service game of Simon.
