What players' current ranking surprises you the most?

For me, it's either Fernando Verdasco (#42) or Marcos Baghdatis (#51)

Verdasco was once top 10 and was playing great tennis. Tennis is indeed a mental sport, but given how he was playing in the top 10, I wouldn't have expected his ranking to dip and stay low consistently.

Baghdatis also surprises me. For someone who made a Grand Slam final and SF (in 2006), you expect them to stay up in the rankings for years to come (at least top 20 or 30).

Dolgopolov down at 60-something until this last week. It really is an indication of how much he struggles to turn down the clown for most of the season. If he could just rein his shot selection in a few notches he'd be in the top 20 all the time and have the luxury of being able to play like he did in Cincinnati more often.

Tsonga , Monfils , Kyrgios , Gabashvilli, Kukushkin , Dodig should rank higher. Dolgopolov and Verdasco are so much wasted talents.

Anderson, Ramos, Lorenzi , Haider Maurer play lot of small tournaments and get their ranking high

That's a tough one Haas had so many injuries and was well past his prime, but almost made it back to the top ten. Goran was a wildcard and won a slam after having so many heartbreaks. Kim had a kid, but was still pretty young.

I'm impressed by the fact that Ferrer's ranking doesn't seem to have shifted despite him not picking up a racquet for 2 whole months!

I was amazed that mr dull boy himself..jurgen melzer was top10 rank a few years ago,

equally amazed he's still bothering to play age 34yrs, being about 140 rank playing sodding challenger tourneys. wut?.

Bautista Agut - no 23, was top 15 just recently. A guy who does everything on an average level is that high? He also has a total of 3 top 10 wins in his career (2 against Berdych and one big win against Del Potro at the 2014 AO although now in perspective it seems lesser than at the time).

He's also so boring that even Sampras looks like the most charismatic guy compared to him.

Goffin at 14, never expected him to get that high after a while, thought he'd be a top talent that couldn't quite make it.
