“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.”
Here are the updated ATP Tour rankings as at the 1st August 2011. There seems to be a growing gap between Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
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 !!
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 !!
