Andy Roddick at Lowest Ranking Since 2011 … 27 in the World

Andy Roddick is at world ranking of 27 in the world, which is his lowest ranking since August 2001. Now that Brooklyn Decker has commented about Andy retiring at the end of the 2013 season …. do you now think he will retire before that mark?

“There’s significant gap from where I am and where I need to be,” he said. “It would be abnormal if you weren’t frustrated, the question is how to figure your way through it… There’s a fine line [between deciding to rehab or play on] and something I don’t know if there’s a perfect answer to. I don’t know if I can tell you if one way or another is right or wrong.”

James Duckworth is an Australian Player on the Rise in 2011-2012

Very quick interview with James Duckworth who is a young Australian player who will hopefully be rising through the ranks in 2011-2012.

Duckworth finished 2010 at 755 in the world and already this year he has been able to improve that ranking to 330 at present.

Expect big things from James Duckworth in the future!

p.s. Shout out to Ian Prangley who I know from my time at home playing when I was younger!

Pro Ranking Graphs ATP and WTA

Here is a great way of viewing the top 10 players history. This graph shows ranking postion.  You can see the great progresss of Andy Murray, Where Nadal bumped Federer off the number 1 spot and Djokovic staying at number 3 the whol time in this graph. Click on the graph to follow the link.

Look at the fantastic struggle for the number 1 spot in the womens graphs !! 

Tennis World Rankings

The womens graph is much closer andthe number 1 position is continually changing. It appears Jankovic was number 1 for about 1 week.

Something looks strange about this graph.. Why? There should be a graph always at number 1 position. There does not appear to be a number 1 player before April ? I will contact coretennis and update this article when we get an answer.

This graph shows the exact points over time. It is intersting to see how far apart some of the ranking positions are from each other. There is a consistent large gap between 3 and 4 position. I wonder how long Nadal can hold the number 1 position !!
