Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-USO Edition
In
Mateo Kaspar -- 13,590
Prakash Mooljee -- 7,625
Johnny Browne -- 6,350
Gillo Fangio -- 6,160
Half the field is complete. I don't know who ends up at #3, but both Browne and Fangio have done more than enough to assure themselves of a spot.
Probable
Luc Janin -- 4080
Martin Zarco -- 4030
Ariel Borja -- 3630
Janin and Zarco can be pretty confident, but Borja's poor summer(to put it mildly) means he still has a lot of work to do.
Contenders
Sigmund Kronecker -- 3295
-------------------------
Khasan Zakirov -- 3170
Guus Dircx-- 3155
We're set up for a dramatic finish if this holds! Kronecker is the real shocker here. He was 21st last year, but already holds a trio of 500-level titles this season. If he can avoid an upset at the last two Masters, he could take the last spot. You never know what Dircx is going to do, and I think Zakirov still has enough to make a push somewhere.
Long Shots
Juan de los Santos -- 2940
Tiosav Srbulovic -- 2875
Phillipe Besson -- 2680
Tomas Niklas -- 2600
Andres Guardado -- 2530
Kire Zopp -- 2365
Milos Schmucker -- 2295
Jake Jolland -- 2240
Usually this has thinned out more by now, but the teens in the rankings are really competitive, as you can see. It's unlikely, but either Santos or Srbulovic needs but one good tournament to get right back in it. If Niklas can catch lightning in a bottle again, he could still have something to say as well.
Still a lot of guys with a lot of significant tennis to play this year.
