Outlook
Compared to last year, much is the same, but much is not. The complete absence of Elder is striking, Prieto as well though that was more anticipated, and there is also the emergence of Bahana. With his hardcourt dominance, Iglar has already wrapped up the Race this year. Instead of being right in the thick of the fight, Mehul is several hundred points clear, although he has much work yet to do to confirm his spot. It seems very unlikely he will participate in any year-end suspense. Marcek and Hammerstein, only late curiosities last season, are very much in contention this time around. Hogue has fallen off badly, but still has a solid chance to qualify, while the Russians are once again on the verge of going either way.
