Ranking Notes

 

It was a pretty quiet week. London had no rankings effect at all; the Top Ten is unchanged. So all the moves resulted from Challengers. Only three players rose as much as 15%: Donskoy, Russell, and Lukas Rosol, who won the week’s biggest event, at Bratislava, and rose 15%, from #84 to #71. On the down side, only Jaziri and Jesse Levine (down 25%, to #106) lost more than 20%.

 

Our Personal Picks for “Best Mover of the Week”

 

These are subjective picks!

 

We’re going to go a little “off-map” here and give the award to Benjamin Becker, who rose 9%, from #79 to #72. This is because Becker won the Ortisei €64K Challenger — but, more notably, he beat Andreas Seppi in the final. Ortisei was probably the toughest event this week, even if it wasn’t reflected in the points table, so we’d say Becker did the most to earn his points.
