ATP Power Rankings, Top ten players on the tour (Part II)
Here is the http://www.senore.com/ATP-Power-Rankings,-Top-ten-players-on-the-tour-Part-I-a36300 instalment of the top ten players on the ATP tour in terms of their power ranking points.
4. Rafael Nadal with power ranking points of 703
World number one Rafael Nadal stands at number four with the power ranking points of number 703 on the tour. After successfully completing the Career Grand Slam at the Flushing Meadows in the city of New York, the professional
tennis player from Spain did not take an extended break as the Spaniard took part in all three weeks of the Asian swing.
Rafa definitely appeared unbeatable after his third Grand Slam title in a row. However, the twenty four year old suffered two upsets in three weeks, falling down at the hands of Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the final four at the PTT
Thailand Open and Jurgen Melzer in the third round of the Shanghai Rolex Masters in China. He did capture his tour leading seventh crown at the Japan Open in Tokyo.
There is nothing left that Rafael needs to achieve in 2010, though he would for sure like to triumph in his first World Tour Finals tournament in London.
After that, all of us will wait to see whether the player from Manacor will be able to win four major titles in a row by winning the upcoming Australian Open next year in January.
5. Guillermo Garcia-Lopez with power ranking points of 316
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez is not very much famous for his hard surface game, yet he was able to surpass the world number one Rafael Nadal at the Thailand Open and eventually went on to capture his second ATP World Tour crown on the
tour.
His victory over the twenty four year old Nadal was most impressive as he played the match of his life to surpass his mighty foe in three sets. He prevented twenty-four of twenty-six break points he faced against the Spaniard.
Garcia-Lopez is currently ranked number twenty-nine in the world, which is also his career highest ranking so far in the ATP list.
6. Robin Soderling with power ranking points of 300
World number five Robin Soderling from Sweden ended Roger’s Grand Slam semi final streak at the French Open this season in Roland Garros however has since lost to the Swiss tennis master in both the United States Open as well as
the Shanghai Rolex Masters in China. The score line was 1-6, 1-6 in the quarter final round.
Though two title battle appearances in a row at Roland Garros were quite impressive, Soderling has yet to capture any big trophy in his professional life.
7. David Ferrer with power ranking points of 300
David Ferrer who is currently ranked number eight in the world by ATP enjoys a power ranking point of 300 on the tour. The professional tennis player from Spain who made his ATP debut back in 2000 is on course for a career best
year, having triumphed in fifty-four clashes so far in 2010.
The Valencia resident won sixty-one matches back in 2007 and also made his way into the final of the Masters Cup.
David is currently seventh in the season to date rankings. With other major players like Fernando Verdasco, Tomas Berdych and Andy Roddick, all suffering from either injury or poor form, he is definitely in a good shape to successfully
qualify for the year-end competition on the second occasion in his career.
