THIS WEEK: Thomas Enqvist returned to form with the first title of the year, in Adelaide. He is now a solid number 5 on the SRI computer, while only #18 by the ATP computer. You do know that on next year's ATP ranking system he would now be world #1! And who would be #2? None other than Rainer Schüttler, who languishes in 121st place (up from 145) on the SRI Rankings Top 50.

Stay tuned next week for an Australian Open Preview.
