Talk about Rankings (TAR :))

#119 Dinara Safina

She'll be playing qualies at Miami. She might just get in under the 6 week wire for Indian Wells, but I am not certain where exactly the cut off date will fall.

On the positive side, she did not play either event last year, so it may give her a chance to start earning some ranking points.

I think that's probably the best thing for her. She needs a few wins over lower ranked players who will moonball a bit and let her take her giant swings. Hopefully she'll be geared up to have a good clay season.

I think Indian Wells cutoff is Jan 24th. So, she will be in the main draw

I bet she'll get a WC. Someone (Gilbert?) said she should play ITF tournaments to gain confidence.

Yeah it is Gilbert. He used the term "futures "

For those who might be interested, I run a website with the ATP rankings updated after each match:

Also, the YTD rankings (formerly known as ATP race) can be found here:

I hope you will find the information useful !

Boris: thanks a lot. Very useful (and very nice) website.
Anybody knows how far down Justine goes? There is another player that seems to be free falling.

[omess]

Right now she is at #31 but she can go lower depending how far other players go (Safarova, Sevastova, Peng,Makarova).

Not only is Jurgen Melzer in the Top 10 on Monday, he's in the Top 10 for singles AND doubles!

that is probably a first in a long time

Since Kafelnikov in 2001. Bjorkman in the late 1990s also.

[dryrunguy]

A tremendous accomplishment for Jurgen!

Out of curiosity, what will Na's ranking be if she wins or loses the final?

[liam_valid]

5th if she wins, and i think 7th for runner up

Thanks!
