****** TODAY’S MEN’S NEWS ******

Tokyo

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) (WC) J Del Potro def. A Dolgopolov 4-6 6-4 6-2

If Juan Martin del Potro can win his next match, he’ll pass Roger Federer to obtain (at least) the #6 ranking.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (3) M Raonic def. (LL) L Lacko 6-3 6-3

There will be no move for Milos Raonic this week, but this counts in the Race. And three of the players ahead of him, Federer, Wawrinka, and Tsonga, are already out for the week.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (6) N Almagro def. (4) K Nishikori 7-6(7-2) 5-7 6-3

Pretty stunning, on this surface. And very bad news for Kei Nishikori, who was of course the defending champion. He falls from #13 to #18 — behind Nicolas Almagro, who rises from #17 to #16. If Almagro can somehow beat del Potro and reach the final, he’ll be Top Fifteen.

Singles – Quarterfinal: I Dodig def. J Nieminen 6-2 7-6(7-3)

Very quietly, Ivan Dodig has been making himself a top player. This will put him in the Top Thirty. Jarkko Nieminen will be around #40.

Doubles – Semifinal: (4) Bopanna/Roger-Vasselin def. Huey/Inglot 6-4 7-6(8-6)

Beijing

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) N Djokovic def. S Querrey 6-1 6-2

It looks as if Novak Djokovic wants to keep the #1 ranking — he’s saving his energy for the big matches. But he still trails Rafael Nadal in safe points. He leaves Sam Querrey at #31.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (2) R Nadal def. F Fognini 2-6 6-4 6-1

A tough match, which was hardly what Rafael Nadal wanted now. But he is now only one win away from clinching the #1 ranking no matter what Novak Djokovic does. And even if he doesn’t earn it this week, the odds are getting to be very good that he will earn it by year-end.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (5) R Gasquet def. (3) D Ferrer 6-3 6-4

It has not been a good couple of weeks for David Ferrer, who loses his chance to pass Andy Murray and reach the #3 ranking. Richard Gasquet is still at #10 in safe points, but he will rise to #8 if he can reach the final — and even if he doesn’t make the final, he’s improved his Race odds.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (4) T Berdych def. (8) J Isner 7-5 6-2

Tomas Berdych can’t rise above #5 this week, but he is making it harder for Juan Martin del Potro to pass him. He leaves John Isner at #13 or #14 (up from #16).

****** TODAY’S WOMEN’S NEWS ******

Beijing

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) Serena Williams def. (6) Caroline Wozniacki 6-1 6-4

By the looks of things, Serena has finally gotten used to the conditions here. This was her first easy match of the tournament — and it’s pretty decisive for Caroline Wozniacki. We don’t have the draws for next week’s events yet, but she is, for practical purposes, out of the WTA Race. And she has the Moscow title to defend in two weeks. There is a very good chance that she will end the year below the Top Ten.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (3) Agnieszka Radwanska def. (7) Angelique Kerber 7-6(9-7) 6-4

A real blow to Angelique Kerber’s Istanbul chances. We show her still at #9 in the Race (down from #8, which she loses to Jelena Jankovic), and she won’t go lower this week. That would qualify her if Maria Sharapova doesn’t play. But there are still players with chances to pass her. And, of course, she would rather not be dependent on Sharapova!

Singles – Quarterfinal: (9) Petra Kvitova def. (4) Na Li 4-6 6-2 6-4

There goes Li Na’s chance to rise to #4. We won’t exactly say that Petra Kvitova is surging — she keeps playing tough matches — but she extends her winning streak to eight. We show her up to #6 in the Race, which in practice means she is qualified for Istanbul. And if she can win her semifinal, she’ll rise to #6 in the rankings as well.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (8) Jelena Jankovic def. Lucie Safarova 6-7(3-7) 6-4 6-4

Jelena Jankovic won’t clinch her Istanbul spot this week. At least not based on this. But with Angelique Kerber out, is up to #8 in the Race and is the favorite for the final spot. Another win would make her chances very good.

Doubles – Semifinal: (8) Black/Mirza def. (1) Errani/Vinci 6-4 6-4

Yesterday we mentioned the possibility that Hsieh/Peng might reach #1 after the Australian Open. This opens the door a little wider…

Doubles – Semifinal: Dushevina/Parra Santonja def. (2) Hsieh/Peng 3-6 6-1 10-8

…but Hsieh/Peng close a door on themselves. They led 8-4 in the Match Tiebreak
