Re: The "4 years and counting in the Top Ten" RANKINGS WATCH Thread!!!
Yeah, I would really appreciate if Andy finished the year higher ranked than Ferrer  But they're pretty close. So many mathematical possibilities with so many points up for grabs (way over 200) with the Masters series and Shanghai. It's impossible to say really. I guess just hope for Ferrer to lose early in Madrid?  |

Re: The "4 years and counting in the Top Ten" RANKINGS WATCH Thread!!!
If Ferrer reaches the semis or better at Madrid he'll overtake Andy in the race. A semi would get him 469, a final 494 and a win 524. Ferrer is then playing Basel.
Both Andy and Ferrer have to reach a semi to gain points. The most Andy can end up with after Lyon is 496. The most Ferrer can gain from Basel is 38 points.
If Ferrer wins both events and Andy wins Lyon Ferrer would have 554 and Andy 496.
Obviously there's another 100 points up for grabs in Paris and 150 at the Masters Cup but Andy needs to do well (and by well, I mean semis and final) at the events he is actually playing to ensure he stays ahead of Ferrer.

Re: The "4 years and counting in the Top Ten" RANKINGS WATCH Thread!!!
Notice how Djokovic has almost twice as many points as Davydenko. There's three groups of players here: the two untouchables (Roger and Rafa), the Lone Challenger (Novak), and the Clowns (everyone else).
The top three are the only ones who can truly slack off at the end of the year.
Andy used to be one of those players.

This is the only acceptable option. However, the fact that it remains a possibility that he won't is

 I know! I mean, if you're to suck at least be the best at it. 
Maybe, if we separate the Clowns from the Mugs, he could be the leader of the Mug pack?

Yes, perhaps. But leader of the Mugs is also known by the title 'loser at life'. That's not great. d:

Re: The "4 years and counting in the Top Ten" RANKINGS WATCH Thread!!!
Actually it's over 5 years in the top 10 now. [give or take a rankings plummet in 2006 ]
Entered: 5 August, 2002.
2002 - 10
2003 - 1
2004 - 2
2005 - 3
2006 - 6
2007 - most likely finish around 5-6. 4 if he's lucky.
