Thanks for posting the links! It's very helpful!

Well I really only know the ATP. I mean if you do really well grand slam wise you will qualify. Muzz, Rafa, Fed, and delPo all deserve it. Muzz on his masters results. Djok has had just as good results as Muzz Slam wise... but I agree it seems a bit weird he qualified before A-Rod. Mind you... Andy has had a great season but doesn't have a whole lot to show for it... I like the way it is. Well I really only know the ATP. I mean if you do really well grand slam wise you will qualify.
