[email protected] hanging on at 17!

 

[mmm!marat]

and haas is slipping and slipping

 

[Nimi]

Just 30 pts between Andre & Lleyton

But untill Wimby it's going to be waaaaaaay more then that

Marat should get back to #4 with a good clay-season, good. & Sebastian is finally going to be back in the top 10, took him a while though.

Thanx Judio. Btw, who is that in your avatar?

I'm hoping that David can pass Costa this week, and somewhat consistent results until Roland Garros might snag him a top 8 seed. He really only defends points in Estoril. Even if he loses early there, he lost early in ALL of the clay masters series as well as Barcelona last year, because he was unseeded and had to play people like Haas, Safin, and Hewitt in the first rounds.

If Marat win Dubai...what will his ranking be??

I think you could find a better picture of her than that Judio! :bounce:

Let me see if I can find her picture with a BBC interview, although I think she was 16 then, did she change much?

 

[maratski]

Why does Marat has to reach the QF to gain new points? I mean he didn't play here last year so that means he has nothing to defend right?

 

[Nimi]

Ilhame, because of the "best 5 others" rule.

Judio, good choice :lick:. The avatar was just too small to see it's Lina

 

[maratski]

Thanks Nimi

 

[King Aaron]

Thanks Judio

 

[ktwtennis]

Go Guga!! Go up those rankings!

 

[King Aaron]

Judio, is it possible for you to calculate Tommy Robredo's likely position?

 

[King Aaron]

Thanks a lot Judio

 

[Nimi]

Thank you

Federer might FINALLY make #3 this year.

 

[Sjengster]

Well it's a big gap to make up - Ferrero is some way ahead of him on points, and after all he reached a Grand Slam final last year where Federer didn't. Of course, there's an even bigger gap between Ferrero and the top two, showing how much they have distanced themselves from the rest of the field recently.

 

[THE COSTA SLAM 2]

HAH! my battle for #1 calculations WERE correct, i just failed to take into account the fact that the san jose points wouldn't come off for two more weeks!

Federer may make it to number 3, but it won't be for a while, and it will depend a lot on how Ferrero does, as much as it will on himself..

Federer stand a good chance of being passed by Moya at the next two masters series. Ferrero defends next to nothing in Indian Wells and Miamia, as does Moya. Federer defends a final, and a third round. So unless he manages to win one, and go really far in the other AND Ferrero loses early in both, he's won't pass him.

In fact, unless I'm not considering something here, Federer has minimal chances of passing Ferrero untill Monte Carlo, but keep in mind that Federer also won Hamburg, so those two pretty much cancel each other out. The real "contest" for number 3 likely won't come untill Roland Garros, where Ferrero could repeat his finals feat and still lose it..

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

Also, regarding the "race" for number one... Well, there really is no longer a race. Unless Andre manages to lose in the first round of his next two tournament, he's number one. Hewitt has nothing to gain from either, seeing as he won both tournaments last year.

Agassi stands a reasonable chance of being number one after Scotsdale, and will almost definately be number one after Indian Wells. All he has to do is defend his points at Scotsdale and win a couple matches at Indian Wells, and there is nothing Hewitt can do to stop him.

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

That is of course, unless I'm overlooking something, but I believe that the above is correct. Somebody else can work out the fine details if they care to...
