THIS WEEK: Pete Sampras scraped through to a win at Queen's, which slightly increased his buffer at the top. In Halle, Nicolas Kiefer (up form 23 to 19, ATP #21 -> #18) defeated lucky loser Nicklas Kulti (last seen 1996, when rated as high as 22/ATP #53) in the final. On clay in Merano, Fernando Vicente (up from 67 to 60, ATP #62 -> #44) was the victor.
