ATP to consider ranking points adjustment?
(Preview)
Interesting bit in TennisLife UK magazine this month by Mike Dickson - ......... ranking points are now distributed too heavily in favour of main tour events, making it difficult for likes of James Ward to gain in the rankings - There is talk that the ATP may tweak things to redress the balance. (Wond...

No. of players in the top 500 by country as at 10 Nov 2008 (I'll update at the year end), with change since 31 Dec 2007 and whether the country is in the Davis Cup World Group in 2008 and/or 2009. Looking at the biggest changes: - Brazil's +5 is no doubt linked to them having 10 more Futures there this year tha...

Excuse the dreadful pun in the title but at least it got your attention. I haven't been including Johanna in the GB top 25 table or in the GB successes table this year because I haven't known whether to count her as British while she waits for citizenship to come through or not, particularly when it seem...

In the latest edition of Shark Bites, the ATP has finally trickled out a bit more info on the new ranking system for 2009 - now wonder they seem to be trying to hide it away. Would it be possible for you to explain how the transition from the old to the new points system is going to work? Will all the points at t...
