Fatseca will be 19 in 10 days.liverankings website has so many errors.
Yes, but it's correct. 18,9 is in the interval within the last tenth of the year (0-1 - 0,1, 0,2, 0,3, and so on). I suppose that's how the website calculates the age.

Hi all, a bit of an update. Unfortunately, I am really struggling keeping the live rankings going. Financially, I can't go past July 2026, but before that, I now lost access to the only machine I had available to run the system nonstop, updates will become intermittent. I always tried to keep OER ad free for everyone's benefit, and that will not change, but without some investment, I won't be able to run it past 2026.

Sorry to hear that! Do you have a page for crowdfunding? I know of some people who are maintaining similar websites with databases for other sports, and a couple of them manage through donations from crowdfunding that are advertised in the page. It is one way to keep things free without keeping all the onus on yourself!

I honestly don't know anything about how to organize crowdfunding. Is that something like Patreon?

It's really up to you how you want to organise it. One example I have is this website for alpine skiing, which is amazing and maintained by some journalist in their spare time, collecting data on his own for 30 years:


As you can see, he simply put a banner that asks for donations, and the link goes to a paypal where you can contribute. He has then added a "donors" page to thank all the people who contributed to keeping the page alive (there might or might not be my name in there :oh: )
Last time I asked him he was struggling a bit to maintain it, but consider this:
the skier who has won the most in prize money for the whole of the past season, has won approximately same amount as a quarter finalist of the Australian Open.
So, considering this is surely reflective of more interest, I am sure you could be much more successful, and I know people who would surely be happy to end up in another wall of donors :rollseyes:

The battle begins

Sinner is playing to retain his #1 streak. Alcaraz starts in poleposition. Shelton live Top 5, can make it to #4, #3 is just a theoretical possibility. Mensik in good position to surpass Med this fortnight, who might drop to his lowest yet.
 
Top 8 in race rankings already 3000+ points.
I dont think that happened(early september) since 2009 point system.
Intresting to see how many points need to qualify in Turin.
When I had this discussion with Litotes last year he correctly (only just by the barest of margins) said that Djokovic had enough to qualify for the WTF when he had a little under 4000 points & going by previous numbers.

He's currently at 4180 points however there is a bit of congestion not too far around him & we all know that De Minaur will play 6 weeks straight if it means he has to qualify whilst Shelton should fancy his chances if his shoulder isn't that bad & he comes back quick & adds a few...

Musetti & Draper are unknown quantities but they still have tournaments to burn to get there whilst it wouldn't surprise me if Djokovic pulls the plug for the rest of the year.
