Top Ten Rankings Update
1. Antonin Iglar(CZE, 24) -- 14,610
The streak continues. Iglar has now won a truly absurd 70 straight singles matches over the past eight months or so. That will almost certainly come to an end sometime during the clay season, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous. I'm running out of words to describe his dominance.
2. Bjorn Benda(DEU, 26) -- 12,850
3. David Almagro(ESP, 30) -- 6,850
Almagro knocked off Benda to reach the Miami final, ensuring that he remains in third for at least a while longer.
4. Perry Hogue(USA, 26) -- 6,030
5. David Alvarez(ESP, 28) -- 5,960
6. Mick Elder(USA, 29) -- 4,740
Elder appears to be in relative free-fall. His new management is making a typical new-management kind of mistake, overplaying him criminally. It's a tempting thing to do, but in this environment all it will do is accelerate his decline.
7. Cestmir Marcek(CZE, 27) -- 4,300
8. Anil Mehul(SRI, 25) -- 4,270
9. Evgeni Topolski(RUS, 27) -- 4,100
10. Julian Hammerstein(AUT, 25) -- 4,035
With two quarters and a semi in the three big events so far, Julian is showing the consistency that has eluded him the past couple of seasons. Nobody other than Iglar really wants a piece of him right now.
The bottom half of the Top 10 is really bunching up. Another down-to-the-wire fight for WTF positions could be in the offing later in the year.
