Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-Shanghai Edition
In - 4595 to qualify
Nicolas Perez - 12,650
Harald Wentz - 9,570
John Hart - 6,730
Chisulo Mpakati - 5,910
Ollie Haas - 4,805
Mpakati is the second fully official newcomer here. The way things are going he figures to move up to #3 early next year. Haas is the third with his run to the Shanghai final pushing him over the line. That makes it five down and three to go.
Probable
Il-Sung Jung - 4205
Jung, due to his doubles commitments, has virtually no points from smaller events. He *probably* doesn't need to do anything in Paris to get in ... but it's not at all certain just yet.
Contenders
Tim de Jong - 3990
Calisto Aviles - 3835
-----------------------------
Ali Solberg - 3660
de Jong's uninspiring performances of late still have him just inside the bubble, while Aviles made the Shanghai QF to give himself just a smidge of a cushion. And Solberg isn't the only one chasing ...
Long Shots
Tobias Velilla - 3525*
Srba Dogic - 3340
Lucas Perez - 2900
Velilla actually has 45 more points than this for 3570, but one event will drop off when he plays Paris and gets a full set of Masters. Also, he's currently one of the victims of the ranking bug so that will hurt his chances. Still, he's close enough that this is effectively a four-way race for two spots. I think Dogic misses out, and Perez is just barely close enough to merit including, the longest of long shots.
