Rafa Eyes No. 1 In Montreal After Murray Withdrawal

Spoiler:

Spaniard could take over top spot on 14 August
Rafael Nadal's path to No. 1 became a lot simpler with the withdrawal of Andy Murray from the Coupe Rogers in Montreal on Thursday. Nadal needs to reach the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament to return to the top spot in the Emirates ATP Rankings.
The 31-year-old Spaniard was last No. 1 in June 2014. He has spent a total of 141 weeks at No. 1.

Murray, who's recovering from a hip injury, has reigned at No. 1 for 39 weeks. Last November, he became the 26th player and first British male to reach No. 1 in the history of the Emirates ATP Rankings (since 23 August 1973).
“Sadly I’ve had to withdraw from Montreal, it’s a tournament that I have a lot of great memories from. I’m working hard as I can to get back on the court as soon as possible,” Murray said.
Roger Federer also remains in contention for No. 1 during the U.S. summer, but the Swiss can't get there in Canada.

Monfils poza TOP20 od tego tygodnia po odjęciu punktów za Waszyngton, których nie obroni.

[jonathan]

Przyznam że tego się nie spodziewałem. Tzn nie w ostatnim czasie, bo się na to zanosiło, ale wtedy gdy przestali być w komplecie w top 4. Poza tym chyba nigdy nie mieścili się w 1,5k punktów.

Bardzo to złudne było. Djoković już pierwszy raz od niepamiętnych czasów wypadł z Top 4.

[Lucas]

Mógłby Rafa wskoczyć na jedynkę choć na moment, miło byłoby znów być najlepszym tenisistą świata (obiektywnie to Roger jest teraz tą "jedynką" i na koniec sezonu pewnie nią zostanie, ale mógłby nam dać kilka tygodni na osłodę).

Querrey Returns To Top 20, Mover Of Week

Spoiler:

ATPWorldTour.com looks at the top Movers of the Week in the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, as of Monday, 7 August 2017
No. 20 Sam Querrey, +4
The American’s second tournament victory on Mexican soil this season saw him break back into the Top 20 in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time since July 2013 (at No. 20). His three-set defeat of Thanasi Kokkinakis to claim the title in Los Cabos marked only the second season of his career, after 2010, in which he had won more than one title for the year. Querrey has now claimed eight of his past nine matches, losing only to Marin Cilic in the Wimbledon semi-finals. Read & Watch Highlights
No. 32 Kevin Anderson, +13
The big-serving South African finished his week in Washington, D.C. with 70 aces after he reached his first final in two years (2015 Winston-Salem). Despite going down to Alexander Zverev in straight sets, Anderson closed in on a return to the Top 30 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. It was his best result of the season after a semi-final run in Estoril and quarter-final finish in Geneva. And it is was sizeable rankings jump for the 31 year old, who fell as low as World No. 80 in January amid battles with hip and leg injuries throughout the past two seasons. Read & Watch Highlights.

No. 37 Philipp Kohlschreiber, +10
An eighth ATP World Tour title for the in-form Philipp Kohlschreiber lofted the German back into the Top 40 in the Emirates ATP Rankings on Sunday. The 33 year old was coming off a semi-final run in Hamburg the week prior before he denied Portugal’s Joao Sousa in the Generali Open final in Kitzbühel. It was his second title in the city he calls home in the past three years. It marked his first title since Munich in 2016 and improved his lifetime record in ATP World Tour finals to 8-9. Read & Watch Highlights
No. 51 Joao Sousa, +11
In his Kitzbühel debut, the 28 year old Sousa reached his second ATP World Tour final of the season before he went down to Kohlschreiber in straight sets. The Portuguese player, a former No. 28 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, is on the cusp of a return to the Top 50 following his run on the clay in Austria, which included victories over local #NextGenATP player Sebastian Ofner and defending champion Paolo Lorenzi. Sousa finished runner-up to Jack Sock in the Auckland final in January.
No. 70 Yen-Hsun Lu, +19
The Chinese Taipei player collected his second ATP Challenger Tour title in Chengdu on Sunday to surge back into the Top 70 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. His win over Russian Evgeny Donskoy in the final bagged him a second Challenger-level title of the season, having won on home soil, and a record 28th ATP Challenger Tour title. Lu has not dropped a set in his past six ATP Challenger Tour finals. Read ATP Challenger Spotlight
No. 73 Damir Dzumhur +14
The top-ranked Bosnian reached his second ATP World Tour semi-final and first since 2015, in Los Cabos, to stand just seven spots shy of his career-best Emirates ATP Ranking. Dzumhur took eventual champion Querrey to three sets, having triumphed over last year’s runner-up, Feliciano Lopez, in the quarter-finals. It was Dzumhur’s fifth career win over a Top 30 player in the Emirates ATP Rankings.

ATP RANKINGS 07-08-2017: Rafael Nadal is 3 wins away from No.1 spot!

Spoiler:

The ATP ranking list didn't bring excitement this Monday, but it could all change in the next 7 days! Andy Muray just became the 15th player since 1973 to hold the top of the ATP standings for at least 40 weeks, but it is not up to him will he be there next Monday as well. Namely, Rafael Nadal is just 285 points behind him, and if Spaniard reaches the semi-final in Montreal (Andy is not playing) he will be the new ruler of men's tennis, for the first time since June 2014! Roger Federer is 920 points behind Nadal in 3rd but he is also in contention for the top spot, especially if he plays his cards well in the following 3 big North American events.

Stan Wawrinka, defending US Open champion, and Novak Djokovic are 4th and 5th but they could only go down, as neither will play again in 2017, opting to end their seasons to heal their injuries.

Marin Cilic is 6th and he is also hoping to continue where he left at Wimbledon, looking to pick up some valuable points in the next few weeks and pass Wawrinka and Djokovic as soon as possible. Dominic Thiem stayed 7th, ahead of Alexander Zverev who grabbed 500 points in Washington yesterday, to consolidate himself in the 4th place of the ATP Race to London.

Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic round-up the Top 10 company and they will also be contenders in the next 3 events. Thre were no changes in the first 16 positions, with Jack Sock moving for 2 places to be 17th, as the top-ranked American ahead of John Isner and Sam Querrey, who are also in the Top 20.

Sam won the title in Los Cabos and he jumped for 4 places to crack the Top 20 for the first time since July 2013. Nick Kyrgios fell from 20th to 24th and he is the biggest loser in the Top 40. Kevin Anderson advanced to his first ATP final in 2 years in Washington and that propelled him to 32nd place, 13 spots above where he was 7 days ago.

Philipp Kohlschreiber also had a good week, winning the title in Kitzbuhel, and that gave him 10 positions in the rankings (beaten finalist Joao Sousa gained 11 positions). Yen-Hsun Lu won his 28th Challenger title in Chengdu and with those points he rose for 19 places, hitting Top 70 again.

Marcel Granollers and Marco Cecchinato are the new players in the Top 100. Full Top 30 list:

[Barty]

Jeśli Roger wygra w Montrealu:
* Zbliży się na 10 punktów do Nadala w Entry, czyli w zasadzie numerem 1 po Cincy będzie ten, który zajdzie dalej od drugiego (Rafa broni tylko 90 punktów za druga rundę), bądź Fed, jeśli obaj odpadną w tej samej rundzie.
* W Race wskoczy na pierwsze miejsce, w przeciwnym wypadku będzie wciąż drugi.

Zverev nowym numerem 7 od jutra.

Shapovalov Soars 76 Spots, Mover Of Week

Spoiler:

ATPWorldTour.com looks at the top Movers of the Week in the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, as of Monday, 14 August 2017

No. 67 Denis Shapovalov, +76
Shapovalov began the year at No. 250 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. Today, after reaching the Coupe Roger semi-finals, he broke into the Top 100 at No. 67. The 18-year-old lefty knocked out established players all week, including Juan Martin del Potro, Rafael Nadal and Adrian Mannarino. The #NextGenATP Canadian is in good position to make the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, to be held 7-11 November. By becoming the youngest ATP World Tour Masters 1000 semi-finalist (since 1990), Shapovalov rose to fourth place in the Emirates ATP Race to Milan, which will determine seven of the eight 21-and-under players who compete at the inaugural tournament.
No. 7 Alexander Zverev, +1
Zverev may be #NextGenATP, but he’s very much the present. In lifting his fifth trophy of the year – and sixth title overall – at the Coupe Rogers, the 20-year-old German rose one spot to a career-high No. 7. He claimed a second consecutive ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title (also Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome), becoming the first player outside the ‘Big Four’ to win multiple Masters 1000 crowns in the same season since David Nalbandian 10 years ago. Zverev, the leader of the Emirates ATP Race To Milan, became the first player to qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals as a result of reaching the Montreal title match. Buy Tickets
No. 27 Kevin Anderson, +5
The amiable South African is getting back to where he wants to be, determined and focused after a long road back from injury. Having reached the Citi Open final in Washington, D.C. (l. to Zverev) last week, Anderson made a run to the Montreal quarter-finals, where he lost to the same player. In moving up five positions to No. 27, Anderson returns to the Top 30 for the first time since 22 August 2016. He spent one week as a member of the Top 10, at No. 10, on 12 October 2015.
No. 35 Robin Haase, +17
The star of many a players’ party at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, where he reached the 2012 quarter-finals during a career-best year, is now two spots off his career-high (No. 33 on 30 July 2012). Haase advanced to his first semi-final at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 level in Montreal, where he lost to Roger Federer. At the age of 30, the Dutchman’s belief is growing and his hard work is paying off.
No. 49 Hyeon Chung, +7
The South Korean began 2017 at No. 104 in the Emirates ATP Rankings and this week makes his Top 50 debut at No. 49 having beaten Feliciano Lopez and David Goffin en route to the Montreal third round (l. to Mannarino). The #NextGenATP is also No. 7 in the Emirates ATP Race To Milan.

Nadal Starts Fourth Stint At No. 1 In Emirates ATP Rankings

Spoiler:

Almost nine years to the day since he first became No. 1, Spain’s Rafael Nadal today returned to the top of the Emirates ATP Rankings for his fourth stint at the pinnacle of men’s professional tennis. Nadal, who has already spent 141 total weeks at No. 1, replaces Great Britain’s Andy Murray, who had held the top spot for 41 weeks since 7 November 2016.
Nadal, who first ascended to No. 1 on 18 August 2008 at the age of 22, last held top spot three years and 45 days ago on 6 July 2014. The Spaniard will now look to stay ahead of his great Swiss rival Roger Federer and finish atop the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time since 2013 and for the fourth time in his career (2008, 2010, 2013).
"Being No. 1 after all the things that I have been going through the last couple of years is something unbelievable, so [it] is, for me, an amazing achievement to be back to that position after [a] few years, three years," said Nadal.
View Latest Emirates ATP Rankings
The 31-year-old Nadal has spent three previous stints at No. 1 – 46 weeks between 18 August 2008 and 5 July 2009, 56 weeks from 7 June 2010 to 3 July 2011 and 39 weeks between 7 October 2013 and 6 July 2014. He holds the record for the longest gap – nine years and three days – between his debut at No. 1 and his return today, which betters the previous mark of American Jimmy Connors, who was first No. 1 on 29 July 1974 and last at No. 1 on 3 July 1983 – a gap of eight years and 339 days.
Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman and President, said, "To regain the No. 1 ranking nine years after having first reached it is unprecedented. Rafa has been setting records throughout his remarkable career and this one is as impressive as any. It shows incredible dedication and longevity, and we congratulate him on this amazing achievement."
The Spanish superstar, who ended the 2016 season early due to a wrist injury, has returned in 2017 playing some of the best tennis of his career. In compiling an ATP World Tour-best 49-9 match record, Nadal has captured four trophies this season, including historic 10th titles at Roland Garros (d. Wawrinka), the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters (d. Ramos-Vinolas) and the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell (d. Thiem), in addition to a fifth crown at the Mutua Madrid Open (d. Thiem). He has also reached three other finals – the Australian Open (l. to Federer), Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco (l. to Querrey) and the Miami Open presented by Itau (l. to Federer).
On 12 June, Nadal became the first player to qualify for the 2017 season-ending Nitto ATP Finals, to be held at The O2 in London from 12-19 November. It is the 13th straight year that he has qualified for the elite eight-player tournament.
