The draw for the coming monday came out and with it came a few good moves.First Jack is staying at top of 0830 and I moved to top bracket at 7 pm and ranked #5.This is very close to my prior highest ranking (#4 last year). Realistically ranks 3,4,5 & 6 all are same because they all are part of the same block and have an equal chance of moving up to play the #1 player. Semantically i have equalled my best ranking wise here.
I am drawn against Luciano, Dan and Eric. It will be a repeat match against Luciano and Dan from last week. Eric is THE best player in the ladder and only reason why he is playing down is due to his absence last week.He is clearly 1 full notch above the rest and so far he has pretty much swept all his matches against everyone else. What this means is that Eric is likely to move up. The remaining three will play for the remaining two spots at this block and the loser will drop down to bottom of 7 pm. I have a slim chance of staying up but will need an improved performance. If i play like last week, it wont be enough to sustain me at top bracket.
Looking at Jack's draw, this may be the week where he starts his ascension.He is drawn against Dave C, Paul S (Sandeep) and Dave A. Minus Dave A, rest of them are good players. Unless Sandeep is firing all cylinders on his serve, it will come down to Dave C and Jack. This is where Jack's dropshot becomes a weapon and Jack will move up a block to 7 pm.
