Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-USO Edition
In
Ritwik Dudwadkar -- 12,610
Mateo Kaspar -- 11,460
Gilberto Chinaglia -- 5135*
Do not adjust your browsers. Dudwadkar is actually poised to perhaps steal away the #1 ranking before the younger Karl can come grasp it. That would be a heck of a thing, even if fleeting. It's a big gap to the rest of the players after these two. A REALLY big gap. Chinaglia hasn't done diddly-squat off of clay ... but if you win a Slam, you don't need to.
Probable
Karl Kaspar -- 5550
Guus Dircx -- 4940
Dick Blake -- 4570
Hsuang-tsung Teng -- 4265
Gregory Mackenzie -- 4105
Karl Kaspar is 23 years old and #3 in the Race. Just ponder that for a moment. And then tremble in fear. Dircx is also basically a sure thing, Blake with a bit of work to do but I expect him to make it. Teng on the other hand is just barely off the bubble and declining.
Contenders
Long Shots
Stuart Pargeter -- 3380
Tristan Allende -- 3360
Surprised to see Pargeter this low, but he has a couple of good 500 results that will be going away soon. It's just been inconsistent for him -- knocked out early in two Slams and two Masters, and a lot of close QF exits. It's just him and the fast-rising Allende though with any real chance of crashing the party. The invitees look to be pretty well-established.
