.....And so's Verdasco Andy's safe at No 19 for another week!.

Meanwhile, Ferrer's out above him, staying within reach if he makes the semis at the USO!.

Table's updated. Andy's secure at 19th until next week.

Sole threats Verdasco and Acasuso are out, as are Niemenen and Ferrer among the target list, along with Baghdatis who remains overtakeable if Andy reaches the USO final

Behind, Monfils and Srichapan also went out, while Malisse, Chela and Soderling advance, and Massu becomes the first player I know of to drop out of the top 40 by gaining 50 points!

All pins/hexes to be aimed at Tim's table now, I think!

Poor old Nicolas Massu. He made the quarter- final in New Haven, but still ended up losing places and dropping out of the top 40 (Number 41, Soderling is a big climber)

Calleri, Malisse and Soderling won. Massu, Chela, Rochus and Melzer lost.

Calleri can get to within 155 of Andy should he win the tournament.

The table is updated. Davydenko beat Calleri in the final, so Calleri advances to WR28, 9 places and 215 points behind Andy.

On to the USO.

I am DYING to see week 35's table... my guess is people around him defend a lot more than he himself, which should be good news.

Thats what i was thinking as well...James Blake might make it into the table as well...by my calculations he should have something like 1950-1850 pts....

hewitt also takes a big hit cos he made the semis last year right?

Ginepri should also fall further behind giving andy some breathing space...

and A_Rod will lose alot.

Indeed he did. The only one above Andy I can see making a big drop is Hewitt, with Nieminen making a fair drop also.

Don't forget that Andy is defending 50 points - second round plus qualifying - himself.

No one's mentioned Agassi yet.

He's defending 700 points, as a finalist last year. That's out of his current total of 925.

so, my spreadsheet puts him outside the top 160 - probably around the 175-185 level. What a drop. Good time to retire, as if he doesn't regain at least 450 of those 700 points this week, he'll be in Challenger land for months.

I suppose everybody is thinking Andre is only turning up to say goodbye. . . it would take a miracle to defend his points this year.
