Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-Shanghai Edition
In(4950 to qualify)
Mateo Kaspar -- 15,560
Gillo Fangio -- 7,820
Guus Dircx -- 6,580
Ritwik Dudwadkar -- 5,680
Prakash Mooljee -- 5,340
Dircx won the China Open(500) a couple of weeks ago, which appears to have pretty much locked him in to no worse than third. On the other hand, he wasn't as much of a challenge as expected to Fangio in the Shanghai semis. Looks like things are likely to stay where they are here.
It's a different story for my guys. Both are in now, bringing our total to five qualified. Dudwadkar still has a slight edge at the moment, but I expect Mooljee to be able to pick up more points in the season-ending rush; he doesn't have as many small events in his tally to date.
Probable
Johnny Browne -- 4,500
Martin Zarco -- 4,255
Sigmund Kronecker -- 4,215
Browne just needs one more decent event to get in, while the other two could well wait until the final week at Paris.
Contenders
Long Shots
Hsuang-tsung Teng -- 3,730
The close loss to Dircx at Shanghai was a missed opportunity, but Teng still closed the gap with his win at the Japan Open(500). To have a real shot at getting in, he needs another good result in the next couple of weeks before Paris. Odds are still against him ... but it's not over yet.
