Posted by Dan Martin on

Dan Martin’s 2012 Power Rankings for the

Week of May 14 through May 20

(a lot of changes from the last few weeks)

1.  Novak Djokovic – Novak is the number one player in the world, but the next few months will be interesting.

2. Roger Federer – Titles in Dubai, Rotterdam, Indian Wells and Madrid have Roger Federer surging in the computer rankings an in my 2012 Power Ranking.  Change from last week +1

3.  Rafael Nadal – Rafa seems very negative in his demeanor and verbiage this season.  I think he can harness anger in the short term to some success, but it does not seem like a formula for long-term success.  Change from last week – 1

4. Juan Martin del Potro – Winning Estoril and making a solid run in Madrid have JMDP moving ahead of Andy Murray in my eyes.  Change from last week + 1

5.  Andy Murray –  Missing Madrid assured a drop.  Change from last week – 1

6. Tomas Berdych – Big Berd crushed Monfils and Verdasco  He then beat JMDP in a cole match before losing a tight final to Federer.  Both Berdych and JMDP have to be considered second tier title contenders in Paris.  Change from last week +2
7.  David Ferrer – Rome offers one more chance to topple the guys ahead of him before Paris.  Change from last week – 1
8.  Nicolas Almagro – He is still not quite a second tier contender on the dirt.  Change from last week – 1

9. Gilles Simon – Solid enough to be #9 on the countdown.

10.  Janko Tipsarevic – Tipsy upset Nole and reached the Madrid semifinal round.  That is enough to enter the top 10.  Change from last week – Not Ranked

Dropped Out – Milos Raonic

Mover of the Week – Tomas Berdych +2

    I am sorry that I can’t get spaces between all of the players listed. I keep fixing it in the edit mode and then the page does not reflect the changes I made.
