Why isn't Roger Federer's name in the new Yahoo rankings?

Answer 1

Don't worry...

Federer's rank is still #1 in tennis. He'll still be if he doesn't pick up his racquet till march or something like that.

What you see in yahoo.com is the ATP points race for 2007, which, unlike the ATP ranking points, starts fresh every year. So far, the only tournament that Federer has played is the Kooyong exhibition, which has no point rewards. The other players you see in the list have actually played tournaments in India, Sydney, Auckland, etc. and have won or reached deep into those tournaments and so have accumulated atp points for 2007 already.

Naturally, his name is not there as he is yet to gather enough points for 2007 tally....though it's not hard to guess that he's gonna top that list too pretty soon. Check out the official world ranking in atptennis.com, Federer's still #1 (by a HUUUUGE margin)

Enjoy your Tennis!!

Answer 2

Because Yahoo isnt the official website for ATP (Association of Tennis Professsionals)If you want to get up-to-date rankings and action , visit www,atptennis.com , thats the official site .There , you'll see that Federer has 8120 pionts in the rankings .What you saw on Yahoo , was the ATP Champions Race.The Champions Race is kinda like a yearlong contest which determines which players qualify for the Masters Cup . The season has hardly kicked off yet (the real action begins only after the Australian
Open )

PS-The player who ends the last season as NO.1 also starts it as NO.1

Answer 3

It's a new season of tennis, they start over the points. It goes by the number of tournaments played and significance of the tournament, so if he wins the Australian Open, he will surely shoot up to number one.

Answer 4

yahoo rankings are based on points gained during the season and roger hasn't played in any competitive tournament yet..so he's actually not ranked right now...dnt worry he'll top of the pile come 29/01/07...if u kno wat i mean
