THIS WEEK: Richard Krajicek made the final of the Eurocard Open for the third consecutive year. As in 1997, he beat the best player in the world (Sampras then, Agassi now) but lost in the final. Last year he defeated them both and took the title! Coming down from that high, he drops from 3 to 5 (ATP #8 -> #12).

Thomas Enqvist was the one to knock off Agassi this year, and went on to beat Krajicek in the final. Enqvist charges back up from 17 to 13 (ATP #18 -> #9), his first appearance on the SRI Rankings Top 50 Men winners list since the Australian Open, when he was ranked fourth.

Meanwhile, Agassi's lead is out to 94 points, the largest gap at the top since Sampras led Rios by over 100 in July 1998.
