He makes a good start as Fraile and Sluiter drop below him, defending points from last year.
Loads of points on offer - if he could win the tournament he'd be up into the top 80.
Unfortunately, that also means that there are loads of players who can overtake him: All the way down to Diego Junquera, sitting at WR221, in qualies in Vina Del Mar.
Bethan, do you fancy doing a rundown of the biggest threats?
Tonight in Delray Beach, Pavel plays our friend Bozoljac in the Elimination round. In Vina Del Mar, Alex's number 1 target, Portas plays his qualifier against Ghem. Hernandez plays Junquera
Berlocq beat Gaudio and advances off the top of the table.
In Vina Del Mar this evening, Fraile plays his second RR match against Massu. He'll need to win big to get to the QF and stand a chance of overtaking Alex.
Navarro- Pastor plays his first RR, against junquera (who replaces Gaudio). Vassallo Argullero plays Pashanski, who lost his first RR. Mello plays Horna in their group decider.
Horna beat Mello 3 & 1, so Mello goes out Navarro- Pastor is the latest to shoot off the top of the table. Vassallo Argullero beats Pashanski . Peya is 5-1 up in the third against Soderling. Fraile is 3-5 down in the first against Massu
