Matches
Played
No change at the very top; Miguel Angel Lopez-Jaen took another first
round loss, but Bartolome Salva is playing at the Spain #4 satellite and
qualified and reached the second round in leg
2. So he plays 6 matches and rises to 4th place, making it a
four-way Spanish block at the top. Javier Garcia-Sintes reached the
finals in that event and is now at #11. Rainer Schuettler remains
the top ATP level player, reaching the semifinals at St.
Petersburg and has a rare shot at the century mark for an ATP player.
Winning
Percentage
Young-Joon Kim returned to action and picked up where he left off with
another title and extends his win streak to 12 with a win in Sri
Lanka F1. Kim dropped only 2 games in his first two matches and
took his second futures title of the year along with a challenger title
in Busan. His record is now an amazing 20-2 and he is in action in
Sri Lanka
F2 this week and has already posted a 6-0 6-0 win in the first round.
He now retakes first place. Jimy Szymanski went in the opposite direction
with not just one loss this past week, but two. After dominant success
at the futures level, Jimy went to the Torrance
challenger and lost in qualifying
only to get in as a lucky loser. He then reached the second round
and lost to Paul Goldstein. So now Szymanski stands with a 38-6 record
in second place. Wesley Whitehouse reaches the top 10 with another
title in Africa, this time at Nigeria
F5. It is now his fourth futures title to go along with three
satellite titles from West Africa.
