THIS WEEK: Marat Safin was on the verge of dropping out of the SRI Rankings Top 50 Men last week. This week he was runner-up to Andre Agassi at the Paris Open. Safin is up from 50 to 39 (ATP #34 -> #26).

ATP #25 Lleyton Hewitt defeated ATP #2 Yevgeny Kafelnikov again at Paris. Hewitt's mastery over Kafelnikov makes more sense when you compare their SRI Rankings computer ratings: Hewitt is now 5th, while Kafelnikov is down at 12th.
