We've had a few threads about various players' rankings, but not one for rankings in general, so I'll start one. Feel free to contribute anything rankings-related, about any player.
This will give you an idea of how random it can be:
Every now and then, I like to scan the rankings and see who moved up or down 10 or more spots. I just noticed that Kubot jumped 68 places, up to No. 62. I'm sure it's happened, but off the top of my head, I can't remember anyone ever moving up that many spots at once within that section of the top 100 (vs. guys who jump that many, only to land just within the Top 100, as opposed to getting up to No. 62). Of course, now he'll have to defend all of those points at next year's Wimbledon.
I also see Verdasco moved up 19 places, to No. 35 (although his "live" ranking is now 34 because of his wins this week).
Also interesting are guys within the Top 100 who hit a new career high:
Janowicz - No. 17
Zemlja - No. 44
Brands - No. 53
Sijsling - No. 55
Donskoy - No. 65
De Schepper - No. 68
Sock - No. 84
Vesely - No. 89
Kudla - No. 90
Johnson - No. 97
