Loads of movement around Alex this week as the two weeks of Indian Wells 2007 drop off the rankings
Alex is defending 3 points from Indian Wells qualies last year, so he starts the week with 234 points.
However, he still manages to climb three places to 177, as Moodie, Giraldo, Hernych, Norman and Guzman drop behind him, while he falls behind Recouderc and Meffert.
Bohli, Bachinger and Huta Galung also drop places.
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
What- if for Tuesday: Alex has 234 points and is sitting at 178
If Alex beats Nishikori, he'll have 237 points He will overtake Rochus and Recouderc He could overtake: Meffert, if he loses to Delic at IW. He cannot be overtaken
Best case, he'll climb to 175, worst case to 176.
If Alex loses: He cannot be overtaken today, and will stay at 178.
