2045 WTC Preview

The Czech Republic edges out the United States for the #1 spot in the overall rankings, while Sri Lanka slips a bit with our loss in in the finals but remains 5th, which is still two spots up from where we started the season. We're drawn in Group 3 again, facing off against Germany(4th), Italy(12th), and Denmark(19th). Should be trivial to advance, especially since we'll get the Germans on hardcourt and not on their favored clay. Most of the groups are pretty equal except #2, which has the Czech Republic(1st), Argentina(3rd), France(6th), and Mexico(16th). Either France or Argentina loses out there, and that should be a fascinating matchup. We'll definitely be aiming to win our group, and hopefully get a favorable draw afterwards.

2045 Top 10 National Rankings

With the heights we've ascended to, I thought I would start showing this annually also.

1. Czech Republic -- 2566
2. United States -- 2547
3. Argentina -- 2287
4. Germany -- 2162
5. Sri Lanka -- 2067
6. France -- 2045
7. Spain -- 2033
8. Croatia -- 1978
9. Peru -- 1973
10. Austria -- 1907

For quite some time now, the Czechs and Americans have been well ahead of everyone else. We're gaining ground on them though, slowly but surely.
