Top Rankings
After USO
1. Mateo Kaspar(FRA, 28) -- 17,980
USO run while exhausted, losing a set in SF and F only, was a fitting capper. Broke the all-time Slams record, and there's really no debate now; he's the greatest of all time.
2. Ritwik Dudwadkar(SRI, 27) -- 11,580
Regular trips to the finals pretty much everywhere continue.
3. Guus Dircx(NLD, 27) -- 7,615
Holding steady in third.
4. Hsuang-tsung Teng(NZL, 27) -- 6,330
5. Gregory Mackenzie(USA, 26) -- 4,525
6. Dick Blake(USA, 25) -- 4,180
This solid American pair is still miles behind the top 4.
7. Matthew Panter(USA, 26) -- 4,030
Err, make it a trio then.
8. Cristian Castegali(MEX, 25) -- 3,800
9. Karl Kaspar(FRA, 22) -- 3,780
The big story is here. The junior Kaspar is three years younger than anyone else in the Top 10. Right now betting on anyone else to be the next #1 is foolishness.
10. Gilberto Chinaglia(ITA, 25) -- 3,590
11. Stuart Pargeter(USA, 25)
Just 4th in his own nation, Pargeter is inching close to the first page but needs at least one more big event to get there.
12. Martin Zarco(ESP, 28)
The latest former standout(was a clear no. 2 at one point) to crash and burn.
13. Prakash Mooljee(SRI, 33)
14. Hamal Sbai(MOR, 24)
Sbai continues to climb gradually.
20. Serge Cardone(FRA, 25)
22. Veini Aikio(FIN, 23)
23. Hugo Cordova(USA, 23)
25. Henri Sorel(CAN, 23)
27. Chad Duncan(GBR, 23)
A couple of new faces here in Sorel and Duncan.
31. Lucas Kaspar(FRA, 23)
Even the Kaspar cast-offs are getting in the act now.
32. Tristan Allende(USA, 23)
34. Stanley Edleman(USA, 21)
He's close, and the top-ranked player his age. During a dip in his rankings Chiba passed him briefly, but a run to the 4th round of the USO took care of that. He'll look to crack the Top 32 in the year-end push no doubt.
46. Sushant Chiba(SRI, 21)
High so far has been 42nd. Since Braunschweig he's won the last three Challengers he's entered. I still think the prediction at he start of year will hold; I figure him to push into the Top 40 but not quite make it out of Challengers. Doing well, just not quite ready for the jump. Soon though. Soon.
255. Anil Mehul(SRI, 41)
Showing no signs of leaving the futures level and now his doubles ranking is low enough for him to enter both sides of the draw. The grind continues.
651(J). Amrik Kasaravalli(SRI, 25)
Amrik has been making further inroads, with two finals and a SF showing in his last three JG5 events. Skill/service are up to 0.8 in training, and before year's end I think he'll hit the 1.0 line at which time we'll switch to the standard approach and start boosting skill more.
