dKs89 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) How does Raonic lose ranking points, when he made it to the 3rd round of the Australian Open? He's down 3 spots to 28th, he was at 25th before the Open. Because whoever has more points then him in the preceding 12 months is ahead of him. So the 3 people who jumped him have earned more points in the last 12 months. That's why. Anyone else think it sucks we have to wait until May 27th for the French Open to start?

shiznak Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hmm, I always thought the ranking points goes by each tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The ranking system is all the points you've acumulated from tournaments over the past 12 months. He made it to the 4th round last year, so that was 180 points. The points from the australian open are basically replaced by the points he got this year.. Since he only made it to the 3rd round this year, he only earned 90 points. So since he did worse than last year, he actually effectively lost 90 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Pospisil lost against Tsonga as expected 6-1 6-3 6-3. And it's Raonic vs Benneteau right now on Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 And Raonic with a break in the first game. 1-0 Raonic serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Tough opponent for Pospisil. Tsonga is unreal. Has the potential to be top 3 IMO. So far so good for Raonic though. He's playing great. I wish they'd had this tourney at a bigger venue with a few cheaper tickets. It's would have garnered a lot more interest. Still, it's cool to have high end tennis in Vancouver. Isner beat Federer in their Davis Cup match. I'm curious to see if Fed wins a slam this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 2/4 are gone then it's possible. The problem for Tsonga right now, is sometimes he doesn't show up for matches. An example is at the Aussie Open, he lost to Nishikori where it looked like for the most part he didn't care. Also, I can almost gurantee that Fed makes the finals for Wimbledon. He is the king of grass and he's been playing his best tennis since the 2010 Aussie Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 And the 2nd set goes to Canada 6-4. Canada is up 2 sets to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 ^ Totally agree. His biggest setback is his indifference in certain matches. A guy of his caliber should have beaten Nishikori and instead he barely showed up and didn't use any of his trademark shots to his advantage. Tsonga and Monfils definitely have a cockiness to their games which is great but it can sometimes lead to them getting over confident at times. Great win by Raonic. He played really well and it wasn't just about his serve. He played some great shots too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm not sure if putting Milos into this doubles match is such a great idea. Even IF they find a way to pull it out Tsonga rests today while Milos competes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 And France takes the second set 7-6 (2). I don't understand why but Canada hasn't adjusted to Frances return game. It's destroying them, and by now you'd think they adjust but they haven't. The result of that is being down 2 sets to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh captain my captain Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Looks tough tomorrow. Gonna need 2 upset wins, and I expect Milos to be tired. If Canada wins, they play the Americans in the next round, in Canada again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Crazy that the US upset Switzerland I almost think Federer is saving his energy for the Olympics. He seems more focused on that rather than the Davis Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Congratulations to Milos! Successful defense of his San Jose title and also the rankings points. Soon to be onward and upward towards the Top 10. Playing again this week at Memphis. Up against Gulbis in first round. He should cruise thru this guy.

Donky Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Milos just beat Gulbis 6-2 7-6. All the other seeds on his side of the draw LOST today. He has a very clear path to the final. He gets #68 Sergiy Stakhovsky in the 2nd round. A win would set up a QF rematch with 19 yo up and comer Ryan Harrison or possibly Oliver Rochus.
