THIS WEEK: The tournament winners were Younes El Aynaoui (up from 18 to a personal best 15, ATP #33 -> #24) in Amsterdam, and Thomas Johansson (up from 29 to 28, ATP #22 -> #16) in Montreal. Johansson is curiously underrated by SRI Rankings compared to the ATP. Last year's winners, Magnus Norman (down from 26 to 29, ATP #29 -> #37) and Patrick Rafter (steady at 3, ATP #2 -> #4) were among the big point losers. Sorry to report that there wasn't much of note in the rest of the Top 50 Men.
