Let's see how things have changed, and if we appear to be headed for any drama this year.

In

Girish Girsh -- 10,170
Antonin Iglar -- 9,220
Gustavo Caratti -- 8,400
Anil Mehul -- 7,865

Iglar is still very much a threat for the year-end #1 spot; if he'd won the US Open final, he would have almost equaled Girsh on the season. Mehul could still finish anywhere from 2nd-4th but I think he's probably going to end up third, with Caratti still in the fourth spot this year.


Probable

Pierce Gaskell -- 4220
Mugur Kinczllers -- 4015
Bjorn Benda -- 3770

Gaskell looks like he's headed for another year of doing just enough to comfortably get in. This is like the third year in a row of that he's had. Eventually his luck will run out, but apparently it's not yet time. Kinczllers and Benda, as expected appear to have done enough to get themselves back in the field as well.

Contenders

Elias Trulsen -- 3315
------------------------
Thiago Herrera -- 3170

Both Trulsen and Herrera are limping towards the finish line, but my money's still on the Swede who is defintely the better hardcourt player.


Long Shots

Garreth McCuskey -- 2715
Theodore Bourdet -- 2615
Agustin Herrera -- 2605

This trio doesn't need a miracle, but they'd each need to pull off a couple of upsets and a deep run at either Shanghai or Paris, possibly both. The fat lady isn't singing yet, but she's definitely warming up.
