This is not an official publication of the ATP Tour. I do not work for the ATP Tour. The ranking positions and points contained within this message are from the ATP Tour; however, all opinions are my own. And, oh boy, are there opinions in here. If you're still interested.... Rankings as of April 8, 1996 TABLE OF CONTENTS: * Tournament Summary * Mindless Chat * Rankings * Movers and Losers NEW TOURNAMENTS ON THE COMPUTER: 1995 TOURNAMENTS FALLING OFF: None (Davis Cup) Estoril (32 draw, clay) Johannesburg (32 draw, hardcourt) TOURNAMENTS THIS WEEK: Estoril (32 draw, clay) New Delhi (32 draw, clay) Hong Kong (32 draw, hardcourt) Never let it be said that I didn't do the least I could do.... I found the latest Top *100* (no more than that) on ESPN's Web Site, and so I now pass it on to you. (Hey, it's SOMETHING!). I won't say much about it, other than to say that Sergi Bruguera is the Mover of the Week with a big ONE-point gain (I guess he must have withdrew too late from Estoril or Johannesburg last year, and so has been under the penalty of having his ranking best on his best 13 results for the past 52 weeks. Now the penalty ends and, lo and behold, his 14th best result was a one-point gain. THAT'll teach you, Sergi!) See you next week, hopefully with a complete update. Points Points Diff.
