November 16, 2009 - TENNIS TOP TEN

This week...Novak Djokovic continues to pull some big victories during the last remaining weeks of this season by winning the BNP Paribas Masters. He then inches closer to reclaiming the upper spot from Andy Murray, to rejoin his co-Grand Slam Winners Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the top 3.

For a time this year, it seemed unthinkable, but slamless Dinara Safina has finally taken a fall from her ranking lead, and eventually usurped by long self-proclaimed number one Serena Williams. It's possible we've finally heard the last of the debate regarding WTA rankings. Meanwhile, Svetlana Kuznetsova remains to be the reluctant top ten player as she resumes her series of in-and-out in the list. She is currently neck-and-neck with Americans Andy Roddick and Venus Williams in the last 3 spots.
