THIS WEEK: As expected, Marcelo Rios takes a tumble as his 1998 Lipton win drops off the computer. However, he's only down to 5th, as opposed to #13 on the ATP computer. Andre Agassi hangs on to second, but Richard Krajicek is pushing his way towards that position.

Sebastien Grosjean, who was rated 14th on hardcourts by the SRI computer going into last year's U.S. Open, has finally broken into the Top 50 (up from 74 to 46, ATP #74 -> #45) by making the final in Key Biscayne.

Oh yeah, happy fourth birthday to these rankings. :-)
