(Rankings as of November 28, 1994) Uhhhhh.... Ummmmm.... Let me think a minute, I'm sure I can think of something to say! 8-) But seriously, folks, we're now officially in the tennis Off-Season (well, despite the Grand Slam Cup, but we all know that it doesn't really count anyway, right?), so the Top 100 is going to be a little, well, BORING for the next few weeks. But I bring it to you anyway. Besides, there actually was SOME movement on the list, thanks no doubt to a challenger event somewhere, so say hello to Mover of the Week Jan Siemerink, who picked up a staggering 20 points. At the same time, please shed a tear for Loser of the Week David Rikl, who lost a painful 69 points. After the Top 100 lists, you'll find a list of the winning percentages of all players who reached at least one ATP tour final in 1994. It's the least I can do for you; also, it's an example of the kind of information available at my new Web site, along with much, much more! That number again: http://access.digex.net/~jd/tennis.html Thanks to everyone who's written and/or visited so far--the site is changing daily, so make sure to come back often to see what's new!

For more information about points given at various tournaments, or for a more in-depth discussion of the ATP ranking system, please see the FAQ. The rec.sport.tennis FAQ is posted every month by Chris Smith, usually around the middle of the month. He sets the expiration date for those articles to a month, so they might still be on your news server, although some news servers ignore those expiration dates. They are also cross posted to rec.answers and news.answers. You can also get it via anonymous ftp on the machine rtfm.mit.edu [180.70.0.209]. The FAQ is contained in six files in the directory /pub/usenet/rec.answers/sports/tennis-faq.
