Sri Lanka Rankings Update

Anil Mehul -- 2nd to 1st singles. An incredible year, and with a good finish he can remain on top. Objectively by ratings, he's only the world's third-best player, but Mehul finds a way to win more often than most, and it's been enough a remarkable amount of the time.

Girish Girsh -- 3rd singles(unchanged), 592nd to unranked doubles. With Cincinatti a very noteworthy exception, Girsh still isn't winning the big matches as much as he should.

Prakash Mooljee -- 49th to 50th singles, 751st to 453rd doubles. Mooljee's doubles ranking is finally on the rise, and we could potentially see him in the WTC for Sri Lanka by the end of the year. He's improved his serve a bit in recent months in accordance with the new calculations, but the lone loss in recent tournaments to Zakirov stung a bit. He could make his goal of being seeded for next year's AO, or not -- much of that will depend on his big finish that starts in a little over a month. For now, it's practice and training.

Shreya Ujjaval -- 64th to 56th singles, 98th to 99th doubles. Treading water more or less. Perhaps next year he'll be able to move up again.

Shyam Senepathy -- 215th to 204th singles. Looks like he has stalled. Senepathy hilariously tried to qualify for a couple of Masters and the USO, losing his first qualifying match each time.

Ritwik Dudwadkar -- 1000th to 548th juniors. He's been on a relative tear, and now has won more matches than he lost after the brutal start. Still needs to progress a little more to move up to tier-4 events though.

Ritwik Suksma -- 618th to 590th juniors. Suksma is not doing as well. Nobody has picked him up, and he's been playing tier-4 events and clearly not ready for them yet.

Manager Ranking -- 2nd(unchanged), 36.3k to 38.9k points. Starting to pull away from hayato now.
