Djokovic now has the number 1 guaranteed until the end of Miami, (Federer has the number 2 guaranteed until the end of Indian Wells, considering Murray will not play in february)

If Djokovic lost in the final, it would be the first time since Marcelo Rios in 1998 that a player holds the number 1 without holding a slam (and before Marcelo Rios you have to go back to Lendl in 1983-1984 and McEnroe in 1982-1983)

By the way, it also means that Djokovic now has 74 weeks at number 1 guaranteed, that is 2 more than Edberg. Six more weeks and he would get ahgead of Hewitt (80) for that stat.

Murray is taking the first step towards achieving his first number #1 ranking. He reached his career high regarding ranking points (8480 now, 9280 if he wins AO).

He had:
8000 in 2012.
7380 in 2011.
5360 in 2010.
6630 in 2009.

With the amount of points being defended by each of them it would be hard to see Murray not moving ahead of Federer in time for the French Open and Wimbledon.

Murray defends just 1,270 points between now and the French Open (Miami final being his only big haul) where as Federer defends 3,405 points over the same period (wins in Rotterdam, Dubai, Indian Wells and Madrid).

he had 8570 points after the US Open, will only do better if he wins the tournament.

And even if he wins the tournament, he will not do better than his best with the old ranking system (5505 points on the 24th of august 2009) : at the moment he would have 4950 points with the old ranking system, 5250 points if he wins the tournament. Hasn't done well enough in Masters 1000 tournaments comparing to what he did in that time (he held 3 Masters 1000 tournaments at this moment, and even 4 ones before Cincy 2009)

If the scott wins tomorrow, Djokovic and Murray would be almost equal in the ranking since the USO 2012. So, even with 2 slams in this period, Murray wouldn't have any lead. Considering his abilities on clay, even if he win Wimbly, it's possible that he still doesn't reach the 1st place before the USO.

Murray's goal after the AO is Indian Wells and Miami, that's tournaments where he can really succeed, and he announced that he will not play any tournament in february to prepare in Florida for those.

Djokovic now has the number 1 guaranteed until the end of Monte-Carlo, that is 77 weeks, 3 left to get ahead of Hewit for that stat.

What's up with the ATP? They still haven't put up the new rankings today.

What? I saw the new rankings on ATP many hours ago. I must say, though, for a slam there's very little movement. Only thing happening in the top-12 is 4 and 5 changing places.

Really? That's strange. I'm STILL getting the rankings for 14.01.13. I've tried clearing my cache on Firefox, I've tried another browser (Chrome), and still get those of the 14th. Can anybody suggest anything else I can do?

Edit - in the few minutes that I was making the above post, the rankings themselves have changed (proved by the change in points and positions of the top 4-5, but still saying the 14th. . . Never mind, I haven't a clue what is going on, but it's ok now.

Slasher1985 · 01-29-2013, 08:18 AM

Access this link to get the updated rankings: www.atpworldtour.com/Rankings/Singles.aspx?d=28.01.2013&r=1&c=#

Always use the date of the last rankings to see the updated rankings, despite it being the link used by the ATP on default show of their rankings. That is what is not correctly working now: default show.

Also, I take it that the official rankings I save as a file are much too hard to access...

I had this same problem for a while, now they have corrected it.

@Slasher: I do not know if your link worked when the problem was there. For the entire day yesterday and some time today, in the rankings(from both the "View All" under the top 10 and the Rankings tab), not only did the default show the week of 14.01.13, but there was no option for the current week at all. Even the top 10 list had the old ranking points. But, if you opened any players profile, it contained the current weeks points. (Cache was cleared and site rechecked, same problem)

I guess we can just put this down as yet another malfunction of the ATPs site. People should realise that Slashers rankings are a lot more reliable than ATPs.

It worked before, because my rankings use that sort of link to check themselves for errors during the past week.

I wouldn't go that far. As long as there are inconsistencies between mine and theirs and mine are the faulty ones, theirs win. Most inconsistencies lately have been caused by the fact that some players have changed their home country though...
