 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Count Williams, and with Dominic team calling it an end to the season of 2021, I'm with a lot of points left to defend with Indian Wells coming up. Remember, here's the defending champion. I thought it'd be a good idea to go through potentially how far will he drop down out of the top 10 because over the next couple of weeks, he does lose a lot of points, as I said, especially during the Asian swing from last year. I need to be finals. He also made the final there last year. A lot of points to defend. Let's go have a look at how far he might actually fall in the rankings throughout the rest of the year. But here are the current rankings at the moment with Dominic team just ahead of Roger Federer in the number eight spot on 4,995 points. But he'll lose 500 points this week because the China Open that is part of the Asian swing, the team actually won the event, he will lose those points and go down to 4,495 points, which will still keep him in number eight spot. You can see that he's starting to lose a lot of points. He'll also lose 180 points from the Shanghai Masters where he made the quarter finals a couple of years ago. So a lot of points from the Asian swing that wasn't happening this year that he will be losing those points. After losing the 180 points from Shanghai, he'll go down to 4,315 points, which will still keep him in the top eight. And then Indian Wells, he will lose half the points that he got from winning the title back in 2019, who will lose 500 points, bringing his total down to 3,815 points. But again, it'll keep him in the top eight for now. But this is when things get serious. The Vienna Open, that is happening at the end of October. He is the defending champion from 2019. He will lose 500 points from that event as well, going down to 3,315 points, which will drop his ranking from number eight in the world, outside the top 10, down to number 12 in the world. And this will be the first time in over five years the Dominic team is actually outside of the top 10. In the middle of 2016, he was around 15 in the world. So it'll be the first time that he has ranked outside of the top 10 for a long time. Then the Paris Indoor Masters at the end of the year, he has 90 points to defend there from a round of 16 appearance a few years ago. That'll bring his total down to 3,225 points, which will mean that he'll go down another spot to number 13 in the world at the end of the Paris Indoor. And then the ACP finals. The most points that he will lose in one go, he's the finalist from last year. He has 800 points to lose. And he will lose all those points because he won't be competing at the end of the year. He will go down to 2,425 points, which means he'll drop another four spots to number 17 in the world. Now, of course, all of this doesn't take into account all the players around him that will be losing and winning points throughout the rest of the season. So this is just focusing on Dominic Teem losing all his points and how far he can go down the rankings. Of course, players that are below him at 17 at the end of the year, they could be playing very well towards the end of the year and push him down even further. So 17 is a safe estimate, but he could drop down even further if players outside of the top 20 perform really well towards the end of the season. So Teem could even drop outside the top 20 if some of the players below him do well at the end of the year. So there it is. Dominic Teem's potential ranking at the end of the year. Could be 17 in the world. Could be a little bit better. Could be a little bit worse, depending on the players around and also the players playing at the end of the year. Some have a lot of points that have been. Obviously, Roger Federer is one of those guys who's gonna lose a lot of points as well because he's not playing the rest of the year with some tournaments that he has to back up. Also, Rafa as well, we'll talk about him in another video. Let me know down in the comments below. Do you think Teem can rebound from this? Do you think he can start the year off next year and try and maybe defend some of those points or make some of those points up at the Australian Open because he is gonna be potentially outside on the top 20 by the time we get to the Australian Open in a couple of months time. So Dominic Teem, he's not playing for the rest of the year and his ranking is gonna suffer over the next couple of weeks.
