Points Spy - Madrid Masters *Result*Masters Series by Cogen (U10240152) 12 October 2008  Following the success of the Points Spy article for the US Open, I welcome you to the second edition of Points Spy!
----------------- Final Result: Andy Murray beats Gilles Simon and claims Madris Masters Title ----------------- Analysis Murrays excellent performance this week, and a relatively early exit for Djokovic mean that Murray has closed down a hefty 575pts on the #3 spot. Simon has made great progress up the leaderboard with a valiant effort to reach the final. He moves up 6 places this week and he will enter the top 10 on Monday. This also magnifies a bad week for Gonzalez who was in the top 10 prior to the tournament and has now slipped 3 places. Nalbandian has lost a large amount of points after failing to get past the third round. He still maintains the spot above Del Potro who failed in his bid to beat Federer.

DrRichie (U1014167) posted Oct 20, 2008 So... basically Djokovic is only their respective Aus Open performances ahead of Murray now (give or take a hundred points).

Manaccia (U11791940) posted Oct 20, 2008 True Richie, but don't forget that Murray has 625 points to defend before the AO (St. Pete 250, Paris 125 and Doha 250) whereas Djoko has only 5 points to defend until then

Manaccia (U11791940) posted Oct 20, 2008 Plus if I understand correctly the transition from old to new ranking points, he effectively will be able to defend only half of the Doha points. Ranking points will double at the end of the year, but Doha will remain a 250 tournament. Comment on this article
