Top Ten Rankings Update
1. Girish Girsh(SRI, 28) -- 14,660
Girsh is pretty rarified air here. He's not just #1 now, but a dominant champion with a considerable cushion. He is 67-4 on the season, and hasn't loss since Roland Garros -- 24 straight in the win column. 'Weak era' or not, it's impressive stuff.
2. Antonin Iglar(CZE, 30) -- 11,180
Iglar is pretty much laminated here in the second spot. He'll eventually give way to others of course but Caratti can't win enough off of clay, at least yet, to knock him down further. It's quite clear his days at the top are now finished though. He's been amazing, a living legend, but the slow fall is now here. I don't envy him the consideration of nine straight defeats in Slam finals ... that can't be an easy thing to live with.
3. Gustavo Caratti(ARG, 28) -- 9,330
The undisputed king of clay has not been able to do enough elsewhere to close the gap, and now his best play is behind him just as it is for the others.
4. Anil Mehul(SRI, 31) -- 7,130
Finally dropping away now is Mehul, as the pecking order of the big four is quite clear at this point. The questions coming into this year have emphatically resolved themselves.
5. Mugur Kinczllers(ITA, 28) -- 5,140
Reaching the semis at the USO rescued his fall, and gives him this spot again ... for now.
6. Theodore Bourdet(FRA, 28) -- 4,800
7. Pierce Gaskell(USA, 31) -- 3,920
Like Mehul, only capable of producing good results occasionally now.
8. Davide Poilblan(FRA, 27) -- 3,575
Consistent inconsistency is the name of Poilblan's game.
9. Agustin Herrera(PER, 26) -- 3,505
10. Bjorn Benda(DEU, 33) -- 3,350
