Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-USO Edition
In
Nicolas Perez - 11,550
Harald Wentz - 9,050
John Hart - 6,770
Three are in as the Slamless Wentz joins the fray, and it would seem a clear pecking order has been established for this trio.
Probable
Chisulo Mpakati - 5730
Ollie Haas - 4210
Il-Sung Jung - 3845
Calisto Aviles - 3555
Mpakati will soon be the fourth qualifier. Haas and Jung both look strong to make it, but they've got enough work yet that it isn't certain. Aviles could still well fall out.
Contenders
Tobias Velilla - 3335
--------------------
Ali Solberg - 3210
Tim de Jong - 3180
It was already going to be tight for the final spot or two, but Velilla's run at the USO has made things even crazier. I think we've basically got a four-person race (including Aviles) for two spots. And its always possible that Jung has a couple key stumbles even. This could be one heck of a finish.
Long Shots
Srba Dogic - 2875
Lucas Perez - 2720
Barry Molyneaux - 2420
Dogic could still make something happen if he can manage a deep run at Shanghai, but I'd say its unlikely given how far his seeding has fallen. Lucas Perez is one of those who just doesn't look he's quite there yet and there's so much traffic ahead of him - but he's close enough that one big run at a masters and he's in the game.
