Jul-01-05    ARMENIA: Tigran jan... Good to see that you are back in action! Your ability to wisely distinguish between the moves makes you a great future for our pround Country! God bless you and God bless Armenia Mar-17-06    BIDMONFA: Tigran Nalbandian NALBANDIAN, Tigran http://www.bidmonfa.com/nalbandian_... _ Mar-27-06    TheAlchemist: Pity he never played H J Federer Mar-27-06    Jim Bartle: Or R Hewitt, S Safin, or V Coria. Mar-27-06    17.Bxg7: This is actually the list of chess players ordered according to the current entry rankings (Mar 27, 2006), taking only the tennis players in the Top 25 (otherwise we should include S. Safin, historic like P.A Connors or G. Borg or race drivers like Schumacher, among others). More than a half of them are also chess players (even there is one -Thomas Johansson- who kept his name for both sports)!! 1) H J Federer 3) Tigran Nalbandian 6) F Ljubicic 7) Valentin Fernandez Coria 9) Joseph Henry Blake 13) Thomas Johansson 14) R Hewitt 16) J Stepanek 17) Johannes Kiefer 19) Be Gonzalez 20) Grosjean 24) K Nieminen 25) Andreev Mar-27-06    Jim Bartle: Hewitt (the tennis player) has dropped to 14? I thought he was about #4. Mar-27-06    you vs yourself: I thought Hewitt was in the top 3. But apparently he was #13 seed in the Nasdaq open and he was defeated by the unseeded Henman, who was another perenial top 10 player. I like the tennis ranking system. You have a bad year, you're out of the top 10. Work your way back in, if you think you deserve a place among the current best. Mar-27-06    Jim Bartle: Among the women, Kim Clijsters was about #3, got injured and dropped to #130 and whatever, entered tournaments unseeded, worked her way up, and won the US Open and reached #1, at least for a while. Martina Hingis is doing something similar, having retired three years ago. Nov-28-07    xeroxmachine: dont forget: Otto M Tennison Mar-19-08    Jim Bartle: Watched a little as he crushed JC Ferrero today. When he's got it going he's one tough player, a challenge for anybody. Mar-19-08    Augalv: oh no, I missed it! Mar-19-08    Jim Bartle: He's still in the Palm Springs tourney, is playing very well. Mar-19-08    Augalv: I'm definitely not going to miss Nalbandian's next game! Mar-20-08    adair10: <Jim Bartle: Watched a little as he crushed JC Ferrero today> I guess hat was a sweet revenge for a loss at Australian Open earlier this year. Mar-20-08    Jim Bartle: BTW, tremendous match (6-7 7-6 7-5) yesterday as Nadal defeated Tsonga, getting some payback for Tsonga crushing him at Australian Open. Great play by both guys, though Tsonga folded a little after leading 5-2 in the last set; Nadal had a look saying, I am NOT going to lose this. Mar-21-08    hitman84: I blame it on Tsonga's nerves. But I agree..Nadal has that 'never say die' attitude of Chang. Mar-21-08    Jim Bartle: Nalbandian looks like a sure thing for the semis, where he'll probably meet Federer in the semis. Nadal-Djokovic on the other side, a big-time match. Mar-21-08    Augalv: I'm looking foward to another Nalbandian- Federer face-off. Mar-21-08    Jim Bartle: Well, if they can beat Fish and Haas repectively, you get your wish. Haas is playing well, though. Mar-22-08    Augalv: Unfortunately I didn't get my wish. Mar-22-08    Jim Bartle: Nope, swallowed by a Fish. Apr-02-08    hitman84: Fish played some great Tennis! <Augalv>What happened to 'El Mago' Guillermo Coria ? Apr-02-08    Augalv: I'm glad you ask <hitman84:>, that means some people still remember him. He is still playing, -but only in Challengers- with still negative results. This year he has played five matches but won only one. I hope some day he comes back. I really miss his 'magic'. Apr-03-08    hitman84: <Augalv>His backhand down the line is something more than magic. I hope he returns to competitive tennis soon.
