lol, why the 6 month disappearances out of interest ?

Really, really dodgy internet connection which awakens briefly and then dies for half the year......or very busy at work ?

Been very busy with a few things and kind of forgot about this place for a while. How could I !? But decided to pop back in to see out the tennis year.

Strictly, though, the MC points do not drop off until 5 November, do they? Though I suppose as there are no more top level tournaments it makes no difference if we take them off a week early.

Yes, the MC points will be off in the next rankings, produced on Monday 5 November, i.e. the first rankings after the Paris Masters will have the 2007 Paris Masters added, the 2006 Paris Masters and 2006 MC taken out.

I just thought the idea of the live ranking was to guage how the next rankings were going to look.

But, wotever biggrin

Done a bit of research, and the man with the lost ark is correct:

f. The Entry Ranking period is the immediate past 52 weeks, except for:

*TennisMasters Cup, which is dropped on theMonday following the last ATP event of the

following year;

*Futures Series Tournaments,

- so I've done it wrong - I'll get me coat

OK, that's the table sorted out. I've added masters cup points to the "points defended" from last year. Unfortunately it doesn't correspond precisely to the Race positions as Canas has points from Challengers in his total, which don't count for the race.

Youzhny won

Mathieu lost

Baghdatis beat Ferrero.

Players who can overtake Andy Today:
Berdych plays Ancic

Also playing:
Monaco plays Nieminen
Haas plays Tipsarevic
Youzhny plays Gonzalez
Canas plays Seppi
Karlovic plays Verdasco
Robredo plays Simon
Ferrer plays Fish.

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Monaco has lost the first set and is a break down in the second smile

Hmm. Gonzo playing Youzhny. Both are fighting for the last two race positions. . . but Gonzo will almost certainly qualify, while Misha is still below Andy. I think I'll be shouting for Gonzo there!

Pity he is such an inconsistent so-and-so. . .

Haas losing to Tipsy would be good (says somebody who picked Haas in her Fantasy Team!) I read on another board a link to an article in German where he says he isn't very interested in going to Shanghai - WELL LOSE THEN!

Berdych overtakes

Andy drops to 13

Monaco and Gonzalez lost

Karlovic advances behind.
Youzhny, Robredo, Haas, Canas and Ferrer all win without advancing.

What- If for Wednesday:

Andy has 1635 points and is sitting at 13.

If Andy beats Nieminen today, he'll have 1705 points.
He will overtake Berdych.
He could overtake Blake, if he loses to Mahut
He could be overtaken by: no- one.

If Andy loses today,
He could be overtaken by:
Gasquet, who plays Tsonga
Moya, who plays Nalbandian
Ljubicic, who plays Baghdatis.

So today we're shouting for Nicolas Mahut, Jo- Wilfred Tsonga, Nalby and Baggy!

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

Tsonga and Baghdatis are more likely to win than other players.

Andy can be overtaken by:
Blake, who plays Mahut

So today we're shouting for Nicolas Mahut, Jo- Wilfred Tsonga, Nalby and Baggy!

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Nalby and Baggy did their bit, Jo-Wilfried didn't. Just the one left - allez Nicolas!

Fill those lungs: it's a long and exciting day: we're shouting for Guillermo Canas, Michael Youzhny, David Ferrer, and then we're waiting for Andy to win before shouting for Richard Gasquet, and switching allegences to James Blake if Andy should lose.........phew.
