This is JMDP's Ranking Watch Thread!!! :D

He is about to enter the top 100. And although he won't make it this week, I'm sure it will be soon.

Thanks for the Stats! Pretty impressive! And don't worry - I never jump to conclusions! :) I'm told JM will lose 30 points over the next 2 weeks as he is not playing any tournamernts, but should only drop down to 75 -no lower!

2006 Season / 2007 Season

Viña del Mar (15 points) - Week 5 - DID NOT PLAY
DID NOT PLAY - Week 6 - Davis Cup
Buenos Aires (5 points) - Week 7 - WILL NOT PLAY
Costa Do Sauipe (10 points) - Week 8 - Memphis ATP
Acapulco (5 points) - Week 9 - Las Vegas ATP
DID NOT PLAY - Week 10 - Indian Wells Masters Series
DID NOT PLAY - Week 11 - Indian Wells Masters Series
DID NOT PLAY - Week 12 - Miami Masters Series
Mexico City (1 point) - Week 13 - Miami Masters Series
Aguascalientes (50 points) - Week 14 - Davis Cup

If he keeps his level of play he could skyrocket in the rankings. :)

And after this, in the clay season (this is Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Estoril/Munich, Rome, Hamburg, Roland Garros.) he has only 36 points to defend (the equivalent of a quarterfinal in Munich).

And later, in the grass season (Halle/Queens, 's-Hertogenbosch/Nottingham and Wimbledon), he defends only 19 points.

In my opinion, Del Potro will end the year as a Top 30.

Thanks for all your hard work with the Stats here Willy. I am useless at stuff like that! I do hope JM does try to play Wimbledon and Queens this year - I am not a fan of grass, but they are the only tournaments I can get up and walk too :lol:

:lol:

You are so lucky being close to all those tournaments!!!

I am not a big fan of grass either, but every player who has aspirations to reach the top should play all the big tournaments.

I always preferred clay, but I never completely understood the players who skip the grass season... and I'm pretty sure that with some time Del Potro could become a good grass court player.

Yes, he is tall with a big serve. and he moves well. I think you could be right. Lots of the Argie players seem to have a mental block against it, but JM has already said he prefers harder, faster surfaces, so with some work and practice, he could do well :)

Well I don't begin to understand the ranking system - LOL - but as of week commencing 19/03/07, Juan's ranking is up to 63, which I think is his highest ever! :)
 
#63 ·
It's possible that Juan Martin win some positions during the next tournaments...
He must defend 142 points....
Good luck Juan Martin
