Initial Post-Wimbledon Standings

In

Antonin Iglar -- 8,620
Bjorn Benda -- 6,370
Anil Mehul -- 6,280

Three Slam tournaments so far, three different champions. Iglar been the consistent factor in between though, and heading into his best time of the year on the US hardcourts there is virtually no chance anyone is going to catch him. Mehul may be in third here at the moment, but I don't see him staying there either. Benda's best events are all in the rear-view mirror now.


Probable

Girish Girsh -- 4,670
Cestmir Marcek -- 4,120

These two have their own private little battle going on. They are too good be involved in the qualification battle, and not good enough to contend with the best in the world.


Contenders

Thiago Herrera -- 2,865
Pierce Gaskell -- 2,800
Radek Smitala -- 2,670
------------------------------

This trio has an edge on the rest ... for the moment. For Smitala, it would be his first berth, replacing Mockler, but there's a long way to go, and lot of chasers. Gaskell, despite his solid position in the current rankings, has a lot of his points to defend at the end of the year. He's by no means safe here if he can't pull it off.


Long Shots

Gustavo Caratti -- 2,285
Marcelo Herrera -- 2,170
John Condon -- 2,155
Perry Mockler -- 2,110
Mugur Kinczllers -- 2,090
Milan Farkas -- 2,085
Roger Federer -- 1,765

Very little separates most of this chaotic horde of wanna-bes. It remains to be seen if any of them will make a serious run at qualifying, but they certainly can't be counted out yet.
