Dan Martin’s 2012 Power Rankings for the
Week of April 8 through April 14 – Not a lot of change this week due to Davis Cup
1. Novak Djokovic – Novak is clearly the number one player in the world.
2. Roger Federer – Fed’s 2012 titles in Dubai, Rotterdam and Indian Wells have him holding the number two spot.
3. Rafael Nadal – How healthy is Rafa?
4. Andy Murray – Andy can potentially be a strong clay court player.
5. David Ferrer – Ferrer looked great in Davis Cup play.
6. Juan Martin del Potro – Delpo paced Argentina with two singles wins.
7. Nicolas Almagro – Almagro also looked solid in Davis Cup.
8. John Isner – Isner’s wins against Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga have some labeling him as the most destructive force in tennis. Isner as Godzilla?
9. Juan Monaco –If Monaco gets a favorable draw or at least a manageable draw, I think he will be in the final eight at the 2012 French Open.
10. Tomas Berdych –Two singles wins in Davis Cup signal his return to my non-binding top 10.
Dropped Out – Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – France neeeded him to win vs. Isner. Tsonga said that he is not in good shape.(?!?)

I like your prediction for Pico into the last eight of RG. And Ferrer and Delpo into the semis! I wouldn’t be surprised if Nico Almagro makes a deep run too if he can keep consistent. Clay season–love it!
I agree Ferrer, Delpo, Almagro and Monaco are all playing quite well. Should be a great clay season!
