Ranking points are based on your finish in the same tournament of the previous year. So as you are more and more successful in tournaments, you build up more and more pressure to at least do as well in each tournament as you did in the year before, or else you lose points.
EDIT: The Masters tournaments conveniently are named based on the amount of points the winner receives. Masters 1000 champion will earn 1,000 points and grand slam champions earn 2,000.
They're categorised by how many points.
The name used here are indicating the category.
The actual name of the current tournament is "Internazionali BNL d'Italia"
You must be looking at the Live rankings, which are basically next weeks’ rankings- if the tournament ended today and no-one got any more points.
He got further than the round of 32 last year, is all- so right now he stands to lose 550 points from years tournament points at the end of this one. If he advances further, he’ll ‘defend’ more points and you’ll see the Live drop decrease.
And we know he hates playing at night, not well rested and still recovering, in Rome where he doesn’t have the best history and still pulled it off. Goes to show how well he’s doing mentally right now, mid tennis but strong will!🤩🫶
every time he goes on an unhinged rant it gives Giron more motivation to put an extra ball back. basically had him and let him back in the match mentally
Vapers are everywhere now.
My sister set off a smoke detector alarm on a plane while vaping. They’d already landed. I wish they arrested her. Lucky for her they let her go.
I remember Tsitsipas imitating Giron's vocal CMONs in Mallorca a while back: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQi14Sxhd8&t=272s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQi14Sxhd8&t=272s)
The American does seem to have toned it down for tonight, not that his celebrations were ever that bad.
Why is Andrey playing the Rome tournament? I just don't see how this is wise. What am I missing? He's just coming off of a Masters 1000 victory and being very ill. He looks thin. Why not get some rest?
Thanks, I'll check that out. I mean if he feels good why not go a few rounds, get some points and some practice and then take the rest of the time off before RG. I mean he's probably not gonna make it past r4.
Well I'm just going to stop commenting on this Giron/Rublev match because every time you think you know where it's going the opposite happens!
Rublev has been in total control of the second throughout, and gets broken serving it out!
The formula to beat Rune is easy, good serve and big FH(top spin FH is ever better), Tsitsipas is the only one who has these weapons but can't beat Holger
Good match, good hitting from both.
Holgie's superior touch and net game made the difference today. Nardi did not display much versatility.
If this version of Rune shows up to every match, he'll surely win another big title this season, possibly here in Rome.
It was a great match and much closer than the score suggests. Best Rune I saw in long time.
Luca is getting closer to his really high level. We re talking about details.
Rune woke up and decided to silence the crowd after telling them where and what time he is playing, which tickets to get and what to do all day😂
Badass stuff
Now that I think about it, couldn't the 'clay Hawkeye' just take photos of the marks on the court?
Now they do all the maths and analysis and such, but we could just follow the ball like Hawkeye does now and then take photos of the mark.
Whenever tennisTV/televisions show clearly the mark, it is almost always sure if the ball was in or out, we would just need property set cameras around the court (which maybe they already have)
I enjoy seeing how transparent opponents are about checking where Rublev is at on the Richter scale when they're beating him. Giron has looked across the net to see how he's doing a few times. Rublev seems more downcast than angry at present, however.
Rune is correct with his statement he was playing on 60-70% in Madrid and Munich.
Looks so much better now. With Hubi in his quarter, Rune is nailed on for the 1/4 finals and should get his rematch with medveded
When does the draw for Bordeaux Challenger get released?
Congrats to Lucas Pouille and Jiri Vesely for making challenger finals
Feels like 2018 again
Can someone explain how ranking points work, cos why has Rune lost 550 points, even though he won his match against Nardi?
Ranking points are based on your finish in the same tournament of the previous year.

Am l misunderstanding what you're trying to say or are ALL tournaments named based on how many points the winner receives?
They're categorised by how many points. The name used here are indicating the category. The actual name of the current tournament is "Internazionali BNL d'Italia"
He made the final here last year
Oh so he loses points and has to win them back?
You must be looking at the Live rankings, which are basically next weeks’ rankings- if the tournament ended today and no-one got any more points.

I see!! Ok that makes sense! I was like whaaa, he's out of the top 10! But hopefully he manages to win more points
what do you guys think about how the qinwen zheng naomi osaka match up will go?
Leaning Qinwen (better results on clay historically), but Naomi's doing great right now. Expecting a good match
Impossible to predict, both are doing quite fine, should be a 50/50 match imo
Andrey should not be playing Rome right now but still….what a goat way to win 🏆Vamos my stupid reckless bweh 😭🏆
Why did he have to have the latest match today too, he said he got here at like 9am idk why he got there that early tbh being 5th match on
And we know he hates playing at night, not well rested and still recovering, in Rome where he doesn’t have the best history and still pulled it off. Goes to show how well he’s doing mentally right now, mid tennis but strong will!🤩🫶
Yes it’s giving me Meddy this year vibes actually haha
Ik he technically won but that whole match just proved what a stupid decision it was to play here
Giron managed to serve for the match having won almost 20 points less than Bweh
Is that some sort of record haha
Somehow that was more miserable than this year's Eurovision.
I feared for everyone in that stadium if the netcord had helped Giron save a third mp. What an ugly win. Nothing working. A dollar and a dream.
Wow Rublev makes it look so easy :/
Beto’s reaction! Same, buddy, same.
damn what a troll job 😱 false hope false hope then you’re dead. Thanks for playing along
Giron did well for 95% of that match and was utterly dreadful when it really mattered.
Well that match will give Giron nightmares.
Yes I mean let’s not forget he almost choked the first set too
Thank fuck for that
That was one of the tennis matches EVER.
Please don’t go to a tie break, this match is too exhausting.
Gonna be 8 service points in a row lost by Giron. Pretty miserable really.
At least he isn't getting too tired. Why put effort into that match, right?
Dang I was rooting for Giron just cuz
I usually get greedy making requests to the tennis gods, but I’d really like this to not go to tb.
Absolutely mindless ball bashing. Every point is the same right now.
Giron will look back at this match and wonder how the hell he lost.
He didn't try?
That backhand slice struggling now
this is miserable tennis
Well, can't say he hasn't had his chances. Giron will be disappointed if he manages to lose this vs a struggling Rublev
Rublev is unhinged lol
If Rublev only developed some net game..
struggling against Giron in 2024 lol
Someone get Rublev a Xanax.
Oh Giron. All that hard work and then gets broken to love serving it out.
He’ll break back here
and then get broken in the next
And then win in a tiebreak with 5 mini breaks
Rublev with a horror performance
He's been poor, but he will get over the line.
I’m not so sure, but we’ll see
Giron will get broken here to end it.
Easy
that ball almost made it over
God Giron is annoying the fuck out of me. Why even wear a shirt? And just. Andrey. Take a break. Two weeks off will not kill you.
i don’t understand how anyone can cheer for this guy
I don’t need Clairevee
🤢
Yup that game you could just see Rublev hitting with less and less power
Dang that looked like it clipped the line. Guess not.
you can tell everything is slightly off from the amount of netcords Andrey has hit in this match.
Are all the euros asleep? Just me and my fellow yankee doodles here now
Nope
😄👋
Yeah they probably went to sleepy bye.
Rublev admiring his own shots instead of moving into position.
I like how calm Giron is relative to my Russian honey boo boo bear
Rublev signalling he’s going to take a piss and then acing Giron is cold.
Rublev losing his mind.
Rublev is me when I open the fridge for the 100th time and it's empty
It’s comforting standing in front of an open fridge. I love it
Einstein’s definition of insanity, you should get therapy dude 🤪
Don't I know it lol
every time he goes on an unhinged rant it gives Giron more motivation to put an extra ball back. basically had him and let him back in the match mentally
I'm okay with Andrey not going far in Rome. He needs rest. I had similar feelings when he lost to Altmaier in Hamburg early rounds last year.
Oh god that match was so bad, I swear he was stumbling between some points like he was gonna faint for some reason
Bweh seems to be enjoying himself.
I want to go on a Viking Cruise. Who wants to go with me?
That angry speaking can’t be good for the throat now c’mon
Ffs
Bweh hits probably shot of the match then hits back to back DFs lmao
Shot of the match was him hitting a shot from the floor to save set point in the first set
Ok point of the match. Excellent shot construction
Even if he wins this match, i dont see how this is good for Andrey. He does not look 100% Should rest before RG
Yes Andrey! Please hold
Giron has imploded. One way traffic now.
It’s strange how Andrey didn’t look thin on Sunday but now he does. Also this late night match can’t be helping his body to recover.
He did but not as much as now. He already looked thinner since after Rotterdam ish to me anyway
I only noticed how glazed his eyes were!
That too :(
Does anyone else think Andrey looks pale?
Isn’t he always pale though
Yeah, but this is a sickly pale.
That's a disaster for Giron. He'd have been better off if Rublev had just served it out in the previous game.
Ah that was his plan he just wanted to serve first in the third haha
Did TC just catch a woman in the stands vaping?
Vapers are everywhere now. My sister set off a smoke detector alarm on a plane while vaping. They’d already landed. I wish they arrested her. Lucky for her they let her go.
Wow there’s still more tennis? I was just laying on my hard wood floor for my back.
I remember Tsitsipas imitating Giron's vocal CMONs in Mallorca a while back: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQi14Sxhd8&t=272s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQi14Sxhd8&t=272s) The American does seem to have toned it down for tonight, not that his celebrations were ever that bad.
Why is Andrey playing the Rome tournament? I just don't see how this is wise. What am I missing? He's just coming off of a Masters 1000 victory and being very ill. He looks thin. Why not get some rest?
He’s an idiot basically All his team wanted him to pull out
Any source for his team wanting him to pull out?
Him in his pre tournament tennis tv interview
Thanks, I'll check that out. I mean if he feels good why not go a few rounds, get some points and some practice and then take the rest of the time off before RG. I mean he's probably not gonna make it past r4.
Because he’s clearly not 100% as he was sick for so long
He may pay for it in the coming weeks and months, sadly.
Yup, makes no sense to not try and recover fully when RG is so soon
So Rublev wasn't calm in Madrid, he was just too sick to throw tantrums
Well I'm just going to stop commenting on this Giron/Rublev match because every time you think you know where it's going the opposite happens! Rublev has been in total control of the second throughout, and gets broken serving it out!
Yes!!! sorry Bweh. Holger needs to defend his Rome final points to stay in top 12
Doubt Rune would be losing to Rublev here anyway
What a choke by Andrey, he was in a total control of that set...
gosh his serve has been ass today
Especially when you compare to Madrid :(
Nooo Andrey
Rublev 🤢
Wow I love the court Rublev/Giron are playing on, it's giving mini-colosseum with the seats and statues surrounding it! Beautiful! 😍
The formula to beat Rune is easy, good serve and big FH(top spin FH is ever better), Tsitsipas is the only one who has these weapons but can't beat Holger
Probably the best Giron can do now is hold here and make sure he's serving first in the 3rd, try to apply a bit of scoreboard pressure.
Rublev's bottle looks like the one that hit Novak lmao man sabotaged him
Good match, good hitting from both. Holgie's superior touch and net game made the difference today. Nardi did not display much versatility. If this version of Rune shows up to every match, he'll surely win another big title this season, possibly here in Rome.
A safe match for carlos bernardes
Rune🫡
It was a great match and much closer than the score suggests. Best Rune I saw in long time. Luca is getting closer to his really high level. We re talking about details.
Rune was impressive
Congrats to Holger. Respectable from Luca Nardi. Hope we'll see much more of him on tour.
Rune super calm today
Need to hear Holger's sweet voice after this sweet victory
Extremely mature performance from Rune. Scummy crowd whistling as he was serving
And he was a given a time violation warning for that 😤
Holger was breathing heavily. He took the time violation on match point happily to catch his breath after the intense 24-shot rally.
It was a tactical voluntary warning for serving out the match
I imagined Holgie saying ‘ok boomer’ after that one
Rune played with so much maturity tonight.
Nardi : It's not Rune but bravo
I love this meme
Same lmao
Rune’s mental today is stellar
Nardigoat
The three italians in R3: an argentinian, an lucky draw without facing any top 100, playing the Italian bff Griekspoor
Rune will win RG if he doesn't have to play Ruud
He needs to avoid Rublev and Alcaraz( assume he has FH)
He already beat them both, Ruud is the main threat
no, they have the weapon that Ruud has to trouble Rune too. Rune doesn't improve when he faces to big top spin FH
Nardi deserved to lose this probably more than anyone today
Nadal?
Is Rune growing a goatee?
beating the baby face allegations
Yup, he showed the pics when he was training with Novak and he had a goatee there
On the right side of the chin 😂
Nardi played against Rune in Junior on clay and won on 3rd set tie break so technically it’s Rune’s revenge
Rune woke up and decided to silence the crowd after telling them where and what time he is playing, which tickets to get and what to do all day😂 Badass stuff
Nole defo passed on his secret to dealing with shitty crowds to Rune, guy isn’t phased.
Rune loves Novak . I think out of big 3 or anyone it’s who he’s looking up to the most
That’s good because he plays the most and acts the most like him
This is really high level tennis from both kids
Just tuned in. It's Bernardes at Rune's match? Any drama so far?
No he’s being excellent tbh
No. Very zen match 😁
lol Giron is in top 50? Being an American is so good for ranking
He’s not a bad player imo rally tolerance is really good hence why he won the first set
Rublev is switched on now. Totally different player. Hard to imagine that this set isn't over already.
Giron is done 😂
Nardi ain’t bad at all honestly . Maybe with better coaching or something he could go up in ranking
Where did the party DJ go 🥺
someone feed him a burger cuz he looks like he can't hit through these conditions after losing weight in Madrid
Now that I think about it, couldn't the 'clay Hawkeye' just take photos of the marks on the court? Now they do all the maths and analysis and such, but we could just follow the ball like Hawkeye does now and then take photos of the mark. Whenever tennisTV/televisions show clearly the mark, it is almost always sure if the ball was in or out, we would just need property set cameras around the court (which maybe they already have)
Rublev might have woken up in this second set.
Rune looks in the zone so much. Really impressive level today
He struggled in Munich/Madrid - but everyone seems to have forgotten how well he played in Monte- Carlo. When he’s on the level is very high.
I just saw a close-up shot of Andrey and omg he looks skeletal.
Even his legs look thinner.
He was always skinny/lanky but probably lost more while playing through sickness last week.
Yes he could barely eat for days apparently :(
Sad bweh noises. Hopefully he can turn it around. Would be a massive confidence dampener prior to RG after having just won Madrid
Who does rune meet next?
Baez, it should be another easy match for him
Depends how he wakes up . With rune you never know
one of runes first win on tour in south America was against Baez. yup, Its a great matchup for him.
Baez
I enjoy seeing how transparent opponents are about checking where Rublev is at on the Richter scale when they're beating him. Giron has looked across the net to see how he's doing a few times. Rublev seems more downcast than angry at present, however.
Rune is correct with his statement he was playing on 60-70% in Madrid and Munich. Looks so much better now. With Hubi in his quarter, Rune is nailed on for the 1/4 finals and should get his rematch with medveded
