It’s only 2002. When you think about it, it’s not that long ago. The question is who was the best then? Ranking updated on September 16th 2002:
1. Lleyton Hewitt
2. Tommy Haas
3. Andre Agassi
4. Marat Safin
5. Tim Henman
6. Juan Carlos Ferrero
7. Yevgeny Kafelnikov
8. Albert Costa
9. Sebastien Grosjean
10. Carlos Moya
Wow! Not one player in the top 10 today. A big exception is Moya who reached 10th after USO. Another one is Haas, who has made a better run this year than last year. No Federer, no Nadal, no Roddick, no Sampras… Where was Federer?
He was on the respectable 13th with 1925 points! Ahhh… those were the days!
