Boggo's only defending one point this week, so climbs two places to 161 as the week begins. Udomchoke and Sluiter are the players who drop behind him. Dlouhy, Warburg, Jones, Goldstein, Peya and Schwank also drop.
Players who can overtake Alex this weekend: no-one.
if boggo doesnt get better i dont even want to think where he will end the year, he has another 50 points to defend! even if he is fit he will be going into these last 2 events cold.
if he doesnt win another match this year he will be around 190!! i think, ok i thought about it naughty me.
hmm looking for bright sides, well alex will have hardly any points to defend all the way till march/april, when he has the title and runenr up challenger points.
as his ranking is low he will have to play challenegers rather than atps next year so he should be able to pick up some points.
this has been a funny year for alex, i only remember a few good points: the 2 weeks in april, the performance against roddick at queens, the wimby MD quarters and the career high of 108. other than that this year has been a nightmare.
next year wont really start till after the DC i believ, he never does well at the AO so dont i expect much there either.

I think the ATP might have made a balls- up. Looks like they've lost all the results from the Fergana Challenger on 21 May. Wang's 24 points from reaching those semis have disappeared from his rankings: http://stevegtennis.com/results/2007/ch-fergana.txt
