September 24, 2008 - TENNIS TOP TEN

This week...US Open finalist Andy Murray debuts at number 8, as if Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are not enough young guns to keep Roger Federer company. Meanwhile, another missed opportunity for Jelena Jankovic to rise in the rankings via the Toray Pan Pacific Open keeps her at the lower part of the top ten, and is barely edging out multiple Grand Slam champion Venus Williams.
