Ranking Notes

For a week when the only event were 250 pointers, the moves were surprisingly large — probably because so few big names were in action to soak up the points. Lacko rose 33% — an amazing move for a guy who didn’t win a title. Chardy rose 22%. Vina del Mar champion Juan Monaco rose 21%, to #23. The guy he beat in the final, Carlos Berlocq, rose 20%, to #44 (yes, we said he would go higher. We somehow ended up with a corrupt formula in our spreadsheet). And Zagreb winner Mikhail Youzhny rose 18%, to #32.

But it was the downward moves that were really rather scary. Robredo, down 82%. Ivan Dodig, last year’s Zagreb champion, down 45%, to #55. And Somdev Devvarman, who like Robredo has been hurt, fell 36%, to #122.

We do get to note that Paul-Henri Mathieu is back on the rankings. Back on the rankings at #733, but at least he’s back.

Our Personal Picks for “Best Mover of the Week”

These are subjective picks!

Lacko, obviously. He had the biggest move, he had his best-ever result, and he blew past his previous ranking.
