Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Where she will have a better chance than here (Kontaveit at WImbledon. You posted while I wrote).
It is still insane, though. A player that lost in 1R at RG, climbs to #2 in the rankings. Now the thing will how large will the gap be between #1 and #2. Could be almost 4,000 points, right?

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
4306 points gap if Swiatek wins the title. In fact it would probably secure year end #1 title for her. Her advantage in the race (to Jabeur) would be ca 4700 points.
Of course she might lose to Zheng in few days and then it's a different story.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Trevisan up to #26 in the live rankings. Could be overtaken by Stephens but no one else.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
On the same note I imagine RG lost a lot of money from the Djokovic-Nadal match happening too soon..will anyone come to see a Nadal-Ruud final? They could have used their discretion in seeding- my understanding is, they can (not sure, though, does anyone know?)

The 2022 Grand Slam Rule Book (Section 2.f.) has this to say:ashkor87 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 2:40 am On the same note I imagine RG lost a lot of money from the Djokovic-Nadal match happening too soon..will anyone come to see a Nadal-Ruud final?

The Grand Slam Tournaments used to have discretion in seeding but, at least in recent times, usually only Wimbledon used discretion and only for the men's draw. Now the slams all use the ATP/WTA rankings for seeding.f. Seeds
Players who are given preferential positions in the draw.
I. Seeds Required.
ii. All Grand Slam Tournaments will have a seeded draw. There shall be only one seeding list.
iii. Selection of Seeds
The ranking list dated approximately seven (7) days prior to the tournament shall be the basis for such selection.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
They can't do that. Anyway I don't get this whining whenever the commercially most desired final doesn't happen. Nadal-Ruud will be just fine and stands will be full as usual.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 2:40 am On the same note I imagine RG lost a lot of money from the Djokovic-Nadal match happening too soon..will anyone come to see a Nadal-Ruud final?

We all know that is not where the money is- what TV and streaming audience do you suppose the Tuesday match got? What will the finals get?Suliso wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 6:08 amThey can't do that.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
So what? You don't always get what you want. Nadal could have lost to FAA and then we'd not be talking about this at all.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Funny that tournaments think they cannot reshuffle the seedings but think they can ban players outright!
