Chiba definitely seems to be trying to give up the no. 2 spot. Madrid was not a disaster for him but hardly great. He will be pushed to keep it past Rome.

I think Chiba's best asset is that I am not sure if Molyneaux is able to go grab his spot or is just waiting for China to drift by. Meikeljohn may well be able to go for that spot though.

Clay seems interesting at the moment with none of the top players being clay specialists. It gave Perez a chance as Molyneaux was not a bad draw for the 3rd round which he took well. He may well be overplayed by the time Rome/the French rolls around as he best Solberg as well even managing a better ratio on his breakpoints (the Molyneaux game was won via sheer weight of break points). Hindsight is 20/20 and I may not have managed to make it this far if I didn't have the form.

Still should bring him up to the front page and looking for a top 8 spot.

Balzar I reckon will drop but I don't know if Perez or Dogic will take his spot. Balzar manager the interesting technique of losing his first matches in Madrid/Rome and getting to the French Open final. I am not sure how that works but he has a lot of points to defend. He went out in 1 in Madrid again.

The expected loss to Hart came but he gave him a run for his money. The lack of clay specialists is helping Perez here a lot. And a few of the top players will be tired by next week so should be more chaos.
