Unfortunately, I have discovered a bug in my database for some time now (nearly a month), which I believed affected some isolated records. But, working on a correction I found out many more erroneous records, which, due to the heavy interdependence of past results to current calculations in Elo system, renders almost the entire ranking incorrect.

I am working intensively on a solution, so hopefully an update after Miami will be error free.

An interesting fact appeared in yesterday's R16 match Berdych vs. Falla in my Elo points calculation, since I take into account every set individually. Due to the difference in points of nearly 200 between the 2, Falla earned 6 points in his defeat, exactly the same as Berdych in victory, for taking 1 set off of Berdych.

...

BTW, errors in the database are corrected. A relatively small number of erroneous records early on in the table propagated through calculations to almost every player's record towards the end. I may post the corrected results for week 11 update later in the evening.

It was interesting to see how larger differences from the beginning even out towards the end of the recalculation during iteration. It is actually the feature of Elo ranking system. For some players though, where error produced the largest differences, there was a significant change in positions.

Hopefully this is now error free...

Robredo is improving rapidly after the sluggish start of the season, and is now at the 25th place.
So far Cipolla and Mathieu have had absolutely catastrophic start of the season, and are trailing the list. Verdasco not far from the bottom also.

Week 18 bring little change to the Top 10, Ferrer and Murray swich places again, and Wawrinka moves up 3 positions.

Madrid update is ready:
http://www.menstennisforums.com/show...7&postcount=32

Movers of the week:
However impressive was Andujar's jump of 86 places, even more impressive was Verdasco's escape from the bottom, going up 141 positions! It still wasn't enough for him to break into top 100, though.
