(Rankings as of October 17, 1994) The Race for Frankfurt may be what's motivating the top players at this time of year, but the rest of the guys on the tour are busy just trying to make some more dough and move up in the rankings. So, there was plenty of action here on the Big Board last week. As should be expected, the top five Movers of the Week consist of last week's three tournament winners (Ferreira, Ivanisevic, and Washington) along with one finalist (Chang) and one semifinalist (Eltingh). The Mover of the Year contest, now that the year is almost over 8-), is getting tight. Yevgeny Kafelnikov is still #1, but is now only a little more than 100 points ahead of Alberto Berasategui, while Goran Ivanisevic has suddenly leapt into the third spot. (In case you REALLY want to know, Andre Agassi is currently in fourth.) Ivan Lendl did not return to Japan to defend his Seiko Super Tennis title from 1993, and so by default earns the Wrong-Way Mover of the Week title, followed close behind by his opponent last year, Todd Martin (who DID turn up in Japan, just not for as long as he would have liked). The two other defenders from 52 weeks ago, Jonathan Stark and Stefano Pescosolido, also saw their fortunes plummet; in fact, Stefano saw his fortunes plummet right out of the Top 100. Which brings us to Monsieur Cedric Pioline. One year ago this week Cedric was the #10-ranked player in the world, coming off a runner-up finish in Bolzano (may that tournament rest in peace), and was on his way to being runner up in Lyon to his US Open nemesis, Pete Sampras. And now, 52 weeks later, he's ranked #33 (no doubt soon to head even farther south), and has lost over 1000 points since January 3. Sure, he's second to Jim Courier in the Loser of the Year sweepstakes (-1630), but still, you've got to wonder if anyone has translated the phrase "Flash in the Pan" into French for him. (Ivan Lendl is the third-biggest free-faller in 1994 of those players still in the Top 100.) Enough yammering. Here's the Update. This Rank Points Points Diff. Diff.
