Q2 Rankings Update

1. Ben Faille (24, FRA) - 19,750

There's nothing new to say about our dominant #1, so I won't pretend otherwhise.

2. Leon Polychroniadis (29, GRC) - 8,500

Polychroniadis is fighting tooth and nail, with notable successes, to hang on to his station as long as possible.

3. Renke Cananis (30, DEU) - 8,030

Cananis looks to be sliding a bit faster, but he's #3 at 30 years of age. This is not a thing seen often.

4. Ene Caballero (23, ESP) - 7,730

Caballero should be up to #2 by the end of the clay season. Anything less will be disappointing.

5. Oleg Urazov (25, CAN) - 5,880

Urazov has shown he has what it takes to be as high as third, but he has a lot more distance to cover before he gets there.

6. Jochen Weigle (28, SUI) - 4,895

I think treading water is the term here. He's been close to some big wins, but what else is new.

7. Johann Przalowik (25, DEU) - 4,680

With all due respect to Cananis and de Laurentiis, Przalowik is the best tennis player in Germany. It's just a matter of time until the rankings figure this out.

8. Toni Bardales (29, ESP) - 4,265

Operation Free Fall has commenced. Come get him, boys.

9. Joss Fraikes (24, USA) - 3,735

Didn't do quite as much as hoped over the American Masters; he'll have to bank on a big summer to make his move this year.

10. Davide de Laurentiis (24, DEU) - 3,270

de Laurentiis and Goya Banqueria, currently 250 points back in 11th, are swapping places quite a bit. I figure the Spaniard will have the upper hand on clay and get back on the first page.

142. Aparna Chandrasekharan (22, SRI)

Latest outing was a semifinal at CH2 Barletta, despite being unseeded. Looks like he'll have no trouble grinding out a place in the Challengers, aided mightily by points from the WTC victories.

154. Sushant Srivastava (27, SRI)

Technically Srivastava is still the better player, but it's very close and the two are nearly indistinguishable when it comes to playing strength.

878. Manoj Datar (35, SRI)

Still getting the occasional run to a FT3 semi, at which point fatigue always does him in. 460th in doubles.

8 (J). Girish Raychaudhari (18, SRI)

Anything 3rd and below is possible this year; the top two are fast-developing players and well above his reach. He'll be in France for a JG1 'tune-up' next week, and then it's on to the two remaining big clay tournaments later in the spring. Fun fact: his endurance has now reached the point where it is equal to Chandrasekharan, and will soon exceed it (3.4). Girish will be gaining experience faster than any of our other players at that point.
