THIS WEEK: Pete Sampras regains the SRI Rankings number 1 spot, as expected. The new ATP #1, Carlos Moya, is just ninth, but expect him to climb if he can do better than his thrashing by Henman at the Lipton last year. Indian Wells semi-finalist Gustavo Kuerten reaches a new high in the Top 50, up from 23 to 15 (ATP #22 -> #17). He's rated a lot better now than he was when he had the French Open on his 12-month record!

Also notice Wayne Ferreira has fallen from the Top 50 this week, despite being #23 on the ATP computer.
