Year 101 Q2 Rankings Update

1. Ben Faille (22, FRA) - 16,400

I see no obvious reasons for Faille's recent slump. There's no question he's still the best player in the world, it's more a matter of when he will snap out of it.

2. Leon Polychroniadis (27, GRC) - 10,900

3. Renke Cananis (28, DEU) - 9,040

The jockeying back and forth between these two former #1s has no end in sight, and also no clear victor.

4. Themis Xanthos (28, CYP) - 7,300

Xanthos' big win at Miami has provided him some insurance against being overtaken in the immediate future by any more upstarts.

5. Jochen Weigle (26, SUI) - 5,980

Weigle has reverted to 'reliable quarterfinal loser' form after his strong finish last year. Who knows what to expect from him.

6. Oleg Urazov (24, CAN) - 5,800

The flashes of brilliance are becoming more consistent from the top Canadian player. Perhaps by the summer he will be ready for his next breakthrough.

7. Toni Bardales (27, ESP) - 5,070

8. Solitris Papadias (28, GRC) - 4,370

Bardales and Papadias remain the gatekeepers, maintaining a comfortable cushion.

9. Johann Przalowik (23, DEU) - 3,490

10. Ene Caballero (21, ESP) - 3,425

Caballero is already up three spots on the year, knocking Ale Ballok off the first page. It seems prudent to expect even more from him in the clay portion of the year. I wouldn't be shocked to see him surpass Bardales as the top-ranked Spaniard by summertime.

217. Sushant Srivastava (25, SRI)

This is a bit of an elevated ranking for Srivastava; he's about to have one of his futures wins last year drop off. Something in the mid-230s is more representative, but he's rallied from the rough start to the year, winning his last three tournaments. A gradual, but inexorable climb to the top of the futures ladder continues, and I think he's close to being ready to complete it.

630. Manoj Datar (33, SRI)

Continuing to slide slowly, and fatigue is an ever-increasing issue.

903. Aparna Chandrasekharan (20, SRI)

This is a new career high, thanks to a quarterfinal finish at Brazil FT3, his most recent event. It was just in time to keep him from falling back into the amateur ranks, at least for now.

131(J). Girish Raychaudhari (16, SRI)

Continuing to stabilize at the JG4 level, Raychaudhari is undefeated in singles this year. Doubles results have been more mixed, but are certainly no cause for concern.
