Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-Shanghai Edition
This comes a week late, so there are only a couple of 500s to play before Paris.
In -- 4550 to qualify
Mateo Kaspar -- 14,490
Prakash Mooljee -- 8,225
Gillo Fangio -- 7,040
Johnny Browne -- 7,040
Browne won the China Open(500) just before Shanghai, so the battle for #3 looks like it'll go down to the wire here. Mooljee hasn't quite secured the #2 yet either.
Probable
Martin Zarco -- 4355
Luc Janin -- 4260
Ariel Borja -- 4070
Barring a disaster in Paris, these will all be in as well.
Contenders
Khasan Zakirov -- 3550
------------------------
Sigmund Kronecker -- 3520
Guus Dircx -- 3445
Three players fighting for one spot, but with an unfortunate twist. Kronecker's calculation is bugged; he's had about 200 fewer points in the rankings than he should for some time now. This comes up from time to time, sporadically and fairly rarely. He could miss his chance even if he makes it.
Long Shots
Tomas Niklas -- 3095
Juan de los Santos -- 3030
Tiosav Srbulovic -- 2965
Even a good run in Shanghai could not save Tomas Niklas. He's still got a lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to make up the gap.
It's looking like Khasan Zakirov may just barely hold on to stay in the field for another year.
