Talk About Tennis 2.0

Other than Roddick, the rest of the US crop was very lean.
Right now, Fritz needs a few breaks to win one. Shelton, who knows. But the group can win some tournaments.
It is that that J/C have the monopoly right now.

The oddities of the tennis ranking system coming into affect this summer. The Canadian Open finals last year were played on Monday Aug 12, and so it would make sense to make the drop date for the tournament Mon Aug 11 this year, but no the drop date is Mon Aug 18. Which means that for next week some players will have two Canada Masters 1000 events counted in their rankings. So Alexei Popyrin will make his top 20 debut next week, and then by the next week he'll probably be outside the top 40. Rublev replaces Musetti in the top 10 - at least for a week - as last year's Canada points will drop his ranking outside the top 10 the following week.

On WTA side Badosa drops out of the top 10 as Washington points come off, and Navarro takes her place.

will Mboko get a seeding at the USO?

If she plays the US Open - yes.

Osaka 24 next week, Mboko 25

ATP
Holger Rune is out of the top 10, and replaced by Karen Khachanov. Khachanov back into the top 10 for the first time in almost two years.

Swiatek could get back #2 ranking just in time for USO if she beats Paolini. Jasmine can move up one more spot, but has already clinched a crucial #8 seeding at USO ahead of Anisimova. #16 seed will go to Belinda Bencic.

For men no changes in the top 8 next week. Further down Jakub Mensik has secured top 16 GS seeding for the first time.

Sabalenka has retained the #1 ranking by making the quarterfinals.

The biggest changes in the WTA rankings after the US Open is Osaka returning to the top 20. Anisimova rises to a new career high at #4

Will be tight on the women's side with Iga winning last tournament and Aryna not playing Beijing

the race for #1 in wta will probably hinge on Wuhan.. Swiatek is about 1600 points behind, and Sabalenka is not playing Beijing, Swiatek is - but Sabalenka is defending champion at Wuhan..
