Sri Lanka Rankings Update
Anil Mehul -- 2nd singles(unchanged), 174th to 238th doubles. Mehul has only 7 doubles matches this year, down from 18 last year, and most of those are in the WTC. He's already on 61 wins which is two more than last year, and needs just four more to surpass the 64 from two years ago which was a personal best. With two Masters, the WTC semis at least, and the WTF yet to go he should easily make it into the 70s. Paris and the WTF are places where, if he plays his cards right, he should have a real chance to take home the title. It'll be a disappointing finish if he doesn't snag at least one, and closing the gap with Iglar means he needs to take advantage of all non-hardcourt opportunities.
Girish Girsh -- 16th to 15th singles, 114th to 159th doubles. Stagnation still here. The Olympics were disappointing but he did well, if not great, afterwards. Breaking through against the top players, esp. when he's played well enough to win, is still the goal here. He's knocked on the door but hasn't opened it yet except for the win over Hogue in Cincinatti. He should be able to improve on his Shanghai result last year(second round), but will need a strong finish between there and Paris to make any ground on the Top 10 heading into the new year.
Prakash Mooljee -- 20th to 25th juniors, first 'senior' rankings of 1828th singles, 2853rd doubles. There are three more 'A' junior tournaments left, but aside from that it's almost time for Mooljee to make the jump to the professional ranks. The Bergen result indicates that he's ready. I thought he'd finish higher in the juniors but frankly that doesn't matter much at all.
Manager Ranking -- 6th to 5th, 23.3k to 24.3k points. 4th-7th are tightly packed, only about 400 points separate them. I was 4th briefly, and will probably get back there by the end of the year. oprice's record continues to rise, up to over 63k after the USO. Insane.
