YEAR-END WTC

1. Sri Lanka -- 2710
2. France -- 2497
3. Spain -- 2329
4. United States -- 2210
5. Argentina -- 2200
6. Germany -- 2006
7. Russia -- 2005
8. Croatia -- 1988
9. Morocco -- 1917
10. Chile -- 1896

Our lead was cut in half by a SF loss, so we'll be in real danger of losing the top spot in a couple years if we don't improve on that. It will happen eventually, but Chiba is definitely urgently needed to make the national team stronger.

Top Player Rankings

1. Mateo Kaspar(29, FRA) -- 17,830

As dominant as ever, he equalled his record of 95-1 from two years previous. There is no longer any debate; Kaspar is the GOAT.

2. Ritwik Dudwadkar(27, SRI) -- 11,160

The top opposition, he had an almost identical record to the year before(same losses, one extra win to 79). Now a bit over the hill, he isn't going to get any closer to Kaspar than he is ... and clearly that isn't close enough to slow down the King.

3. Guus Dircx(27, NLD) -- 7,380

Dircx is also holding steady.

4. Hsuang-tsung Teng(28, NZL) -- 5,810

This Top 4 has been intact for years now. Eventually something's got to give.

5. Gregory Mackenzie(26, USA) -- 4,995

6. Dick Blake(25, USA) -- 4,820

7. Stuart Pargeter(25, USA) -- 4,460

A trio of talented Americans waits for an opportunity.

8. Cristian Castegali(25, MEX) -- 4,380

9. Matthew Panter(27, USA) -- 3,980

10. Karl Kaspar(23, FRA) -- 3,710

And here's the heir apparent. His ascension brought France the WTC crown, and is going to make them awfully tough to top for the time being,.

11. Gilberto Chinaglia(25, ITA) -- 3,410

The only guy really close to getting back into things.

13. Hamal Sbai(24, MOR)

Sbai is a thousand points shy of Chinaglia. Close in the rankings, but he's got a lot of work to do to move up further.

14. Prakash Mooljee(33, SRI)

Seems to have found a secure landing spot.

17. Serge Cardone(25, FRA)

No Kaspar, but Cardone is another example of French resurgence.

19. Ruben Piazzola(29, CHI)

Really fell off before his time.

21. Damian Cortecedo(26, CHI)

Was in the high 30s a year ago, and now figures to pass Piazzola for the top spot in his nation soon.

22. Chad Duncan(23, UK)

A steady season for this newcomer included three second-half forays into the business end of 500-level events. Still a work in progress.

24. Hugo Cordova(23, USA)

Gradual progress continues for another young American.

25. Veini Aikio(23, FIN)

The new young guns are starting to make a push as you can see by the number of them here.

26. Lucas Kaspar(23, FRA)

Too many Kaspars.

28. Stanley Edleman(21, USA)

Still the top-ranking player his age. And only like 6th or 7th among the US guys.

29. Henri Sorel(23, CAN)

30. Tristan Allende(23, USA)

As you can see, there are really a ton of 23-or-under players here. Could be a new great generation on the rise.

39. Ugljesa Svajnovic(21, CRO)

The third wheel.

41. Sushant Chiba(21, SRI)

I said his goal was 40th this year, and he hit 38th before settling here. Pretty darn close.

233. Anil Mehul(41, SRI)

Holding steady in the 'good futures players' category, though his doubles(702nd) mark has fallen more rapidly. That's temporary though.

333(J). Amrik Kasaravilli(15, SRI)

Inferior endurance has him still unable to handle a full JG5 tournament effectively. Even in his first year, it's already noticeably slowing his progression.
