The Rankings Thread (ATP)

[El Dude]

Haha, sorry buddy but Milos is going to be around in the 5-15 range for some years to come.

 

[herios]

So here is an interesting development. If either Goffin or Thiem wins tomorrow in their R16 matches, they will surpass current #10 JW Tsonga in the live rankings. Meaning, there's a good chance that at the end of Roland Garros and when the rankings are updated next Monday, we'll have a new top 10 player.

It isn't guaranteed, because David Ferrer is also shooting for a top 10 spot and he's just 5 pts behind Thiem, but there's also a scenario where BOTH make the top 10: if they both win R16, at least one wins QF, and both Ferrer and Berdych lose tomorrow. Then Thiem and Goffin are guaranteed a spot in the top 10 (this assuming that Bautista Agut doesn't upset Novak and go on a run into the top 10).

The times they are a changin'...maybe/almost.

Just tell me what needs to happen for Milos to get out of top 8.lease:

Milos needs to be in the top 8 going into Wimby. It is happening. :devil

Goffin up to #10 and Thiem to #11 in the live rankings. Goffin is guaranteed a spot in the top 10, but Thiem needs to beat him tomorrow to move into the top 10. Whoever goes on to the SF will also pass Raonic, probably Berdych (assuming he loses to Novak), and Gasquet if he doesn't beat Murray.

The point being, we have at least one new top 10 player, maybe two if Thiem wins tomorrow.

Your projection is faulty. There is no way both Thiem and Goffin will be top 10 after the SF, because they play each other.
If Goffin wins he will be the in the top 10, if Thiem wins will vault over Goffin, pushing him back to 11.
It will be either David or Domi.
So we will have one new top 10, but not two.

 

[El Dude]

OK, thanks

 

[herios]

OK, thanks

No problem.
Either way both will be posting career record ranking and with the loser tomorrow to be in the top 10 very soon.

I am pleased to report that Milos has been relegated to #9. However, the margins are really small from #7 through #14 and so it may be premature to celebrate. Also, given the possibility of Rafa withdrawing from Wimby, Milos need to be relegated to #10 to be on the safe side.

With the Wawrinka loss, Nadal is now back to the Top 4 rankings even if he only played 2 matches in Roland Garros.

With the Wawrinka loss, Nadal is now back to the Top 4 rankings even if he only played 2 matches in Roland Garros.

How ridiculous is this to continue going on with 2 of the 4 players unable to even perform? The rankings can't make any sense to people on the outside looking in! :cover uzzled :nono

That is the birthday gift he got.
Happy anniversary to Nadal who just tuned 30.

If Murray wins RG he will be over 3000 points in front of Roger.

The rankings that get published tomorrow, the 6th of June has extra significance. It is this ranking that will be used to determine eligibility for Olympics. If a player is not in top 56 of this list, they cannot get a direct entry into the Olympics. For example, this would prevent Lukas Rosol, Belluci etc from taking part in Olympics.

I'd feel fortunate not to have to go to that HELL hole! Even with luxury accommodations at a resort I would be hesitant with the health scare there now! They have not done anything to clean up their water where athletes have to swim, to perform in triathlons, and boat race! It's gross and you can literally see the sewage! It doesn't look like they've even attempted to clean it up! :s :nono :cover

The changes in the top 10 are:

Stan falls to 5 below Nadal and Thiem gets into the top 10 for the first time directly to 7. Also Gasquet re enters the top 10 again, replacing Cilic.
Tsonga falls out from 7 to 12.
Two new members into the top 100 are young Russian Khachanov and American Fratangelo.
