Between the third and second
Novak Djokovic almost caught up with Rozhe Federer Victory in Shanghai at the final tournament of the year allowed Serb Novak Djokovic to get close to the second line in the Rating list of the Asia-Pacific region. The 21-year-old Serb practically equalized with Rozhe Federer, lagging behind the Swiss by only 10 points.However, the move moves to the second racket of the world Federer, because at the next large tournament - the starting in mid -January Australian Open - the Swiss will have to protect the points scored for access to the semifinals, and Djokovic for victory.
In other directions of military rating actions, events unfold a little less actively. Do not count the next advance down the stairs of Andy Roddik or James Blake with something deserving special attention. The Americans, after the victory a year ago, as part of the national team at the Davis Cup, obviously slowed down and steadily lost the rating all year. The progress of the French Joilfred Tsonga and especially Simon’s housing, who, after Shanghai, climbed into the sixth and seventh lines of the classification, respectively, became more noticeable.
The Russians were the end of the season, as, in general, and all year, they spent without brilliance, although do not forget that Igor Andreev first in his career hit the twenty, and Marat Safin, thanks to the semifinal of Wimbledon, moved from the second half of the hundred to the middle of the first. Alas, further advance is unlikely to be possible. It is possible that Marat will cancel his decision to complete his career, but still will be almost unrealistic to add in the conditions of current competition. In the rank of the first racket of Russia, the fourth season has been finishing in a row by Nikolai Davydenko, who occupied all this time one of the mid -middle places of the first dozen. This year for Nicholas was one of the most successful, given, for example, the victory at Masters in Miami and, moreover, the Shanghai finale. It happened that Nikolai also occupied the third line, but it was before the appearance of Jokovic and Andy Murray on the forefront. However, they still cannot feel free in their positions, because Davydenko proved during the season that he is able to beat both of them. And the first racket of the world Raphael Nadal, by the way, too.
