THIS WEEK: Gustavo Kuerten is starting to become a player of note, almost two years after he sprung from nowhere to take the French Open. This week he is up from 17 to 12 (ATP #19 -> #16 last week). Carlos Moya's ranking has plummeted from 8 to 17, but he's still in the ATP top 10.

Austrian Stefan Koubek debuts in the SRI Rankings Top 50 Men after an unexpected championship in Atlanta. He's up from 75 to 50 (ATP #97 last week).
