Men's Tennis Rankings: A Complete Breakdown Before the Canada and Cincy Masters

This is where the standing will be (or probably be for Delpo and Rod) going into the Masters. Going into the Masters, the Olympic points would not have been subtracted yet, but since it will happen, I have subtracted them anyway, as it will not affect rankings in any way.

You will see slightly higher point totals for the Top Four on the ATP Website going into Canada than written here (Except Murray because he failed at Beijing).

Here are the TRUE rankings.

1 Federer, Roger (SUI) 10,860
2 Nadal, Rafael (ESP) 8,485
3 Murray, Andy (GBR) 8,250
4 Djokovic, Novak (SRB) 6,920
5 Roddick, Andy (USA) 5,800
6 Del Potro, Juan Martin (ARG) 4,705

A lot of people were talking about how the gap seems SO big between the players. Not so big anymore. These rankings can easily shake up even more by the end of the season.

Considering the form of Djokovic and Roddick, Roddick could easily become No. 4 by the end of the season. Del Potro has a lot to gain because he didn't play in a lot of Masters because of a low ranking last year.

Federer has to defend a bunch from the US Open this year as does Murray. Nadal can gain points because he didn't play in the ATP tour finals.

If you have any questions just post it up here. This isn't much of an opinion article so no arguments should break out. Even if my Del Potro/Roddick predictions change, neither will will go up or down by more than 100 points unless a few major upsets happen.

I'll also write about how Roddick can become No. 4 again sometime later.
