I reckon you may need to watch out for canas this week Rob. I think (and kinda hope) he will get close to 110 this week....

Certainly if he wins his nth Challenger on the bounce he will! - He's just off the bottom of the table. Also there, and worrying me, are Guccione and Luczak, who seem to be on incredible form in Adelaide, and Chiudinelli who's made R2 of Doha.

Pless beat Nalbandian in Chennai

- Bolelli and Srichaphan are 3-3 in the first set

First set to Srichaphan.....c'mon!

He He - Paradorn does the business. That's all the ATP threats in sight out of the way, and a 23 point cushion between Alex and his nearest threat.

So who's left?

Well, in Sao Paolo:

Hartfield, if he reaches the semi-final,
Mello, if he reaches the semi-final,
Canas, if he reaches the final
Saretta, if he wins the tournament.

In Adelaide:

Guccione, if he reaches the final
Luczak, if he wins it.

In Noumea:

Russell, if he wins it.

In Doha:

Chiudinelli, if he reaches the semis.

A maximum of 7 can still overtake , none can do it before Friday

So worst case is 126th (down 3), best is 119 (up 4)

Tonight sees Mello, Saretta and Canas in Sao Paolo R1, and Russell in Noumea R1.

Edit: updated for correct points for Sao Paolo (Steveg's 2007 Calendar was incorrect)

Luczac lost, and goes out of Adelaide .

Saretta and Mello are out. Canas is back on his winning ways. According to MTF, the Russell match was rained off.

Today sees Luzzi play Olly Rochus in Doha. He'll advance to just 3 points behind Alex should he win .

Galvani plays Malisse in Chennai. Chiudinelli plays Mirnyi in Doha..

All three went out .

That leaves just Hartfield as a threat within sight - he plays Mazarakis tonight. Come on the Greeks!

Off the bottom of the table, Guccione plays Clement in his second RR in Adelaide; Russell plays his first match in Noumea, and Delgardo plays his R2 in Sao Paolo.

Just those four and Canas who can overtake now. Worst case is 124 (down 1). Best is 119 (up 4)

Grrrr.....Still no news from New Caledonia - it's 11:10 over there, and still just 2 results. Meanwhile MTF has gone down..

The news from Sao Paolo is that the Hartfield match didn't take place, but Delgardo won his match. In Adelaide, Guccione made it through to the QF, so is just off the bottom of the table. Russell's result and the table update when Noumea finally posts the results.

At nearly 2am in New Caledonia, the updated draw came through - they got all the games played again after a rained off day.

Russell won, so continues to be a threat. No update required for the table.

So a bad night for Alex - all four threats survived.

Today sees Sanguinetti playing in Chennai: he's a set up, but a break down in the second against Mahut.

Tonight, we've got that Hartfield - Mazarakis match at last - C'mon Vasilis! also Canas playing Julio Silva; Russell plays Ascione in Noumea, Guccione plays Gasquet in Adelaide - both on great form, but Gasquet's class & experience should see him through.

Sanguinetti beat Mahut in the third set in Chennai, and advances off the top of the table.

Wow. Guccione beat Djokovic, and advances to just 3 points behind Alex

- he's on the form of his life!

No play in Sao Paolo - rained off yesterday: Hartfield will have to play his R2 match this evening.

Rain again in Noumea - expect late results again.
