Advanced Baseline men's tennis rankings: August 2014

$

Colin Davy's Advanced Baseline ratings have been updated for August, and as hard court season rolls on, not much has changed.

Minimal drama

Among the top 16 men according to Advanced Baseline, nobody moved up or down more than one spot -- Juan Martin del Potro (still nursing injury), Milos Raonic, and Gael Monfils went up one, and Kei Nishikori, Stan Wawrinka, and Tommy Haas (also injured) went down one. But with tennis' big names (well, all but one) gearing up for a pair of big tournaments (Toronto and Cincinnati), some lesser names made moves in July, none bigger than the one made by your new No. 27 player.

From Colin Davy:

Biggest jump easily goes to David Goffin, who won three Challengers and a 250 in a single month. They were all on clay, so it won't necessarily translate to the U.S. Open, but wow, what a month.

The 23-year old Belgian took down Philipp Kohlschreiber and Dominic Thiem to win the Bet-At-Home Cup in Austria and took down players like Jarkko Nieminen, Blaz Rola, Aleksandr Nedovyesov, and Andreas Beck to win the challengers. That's not a murderer's row, but his rise was due in part to domination. During his 20-match win streak, he has won 40 of 42 sets and has taken 20 of those 40 by a 6-2 margin or greater. Who you play matters, but not as much as how you play, and Goffin has dominated. (Yes, on clay.)

Other movers: Bernard Tomic (your Bogota champion), Leonardo Mayer, and Pablo Cuevas. Davy on Cuevas:

When AB was still in development, Pablo Cuevas' ranking nearly made me throw out the entire thing because I couldn't understand why he was so high. A full season later, he's now 18th on clay after winning a pair of 250s. Looks like it was right the whole time.

Tomic is up to 19th on hard courts, which could make him a nice land mine in the U.S. Open draw.

The ultimate wildcard

More from Davy:

Viktor Troicki is coming off a suspension this month starting at zero ATP points. His ATP ranking will not reflect how well he's playing by design; this is where predictive rankings offer a clearer picture. I have him at 69, which is pretty much where he left off last year.

Top 20 Americans on hard courts

We probably don't need to rehash how woeful 2014 has been for American men overall. Let's just go to the rankings, where Donald Young (from 76th to 66th overall and 38th on hard courts) and Jack Sock (from 64th to 55th overall) are doing some damage.

11. John Isner (20th overall)
38. Donald Young (76th)
44. Sam Querrey (64th)
47. Jack Sock (55th)
48. Steve Johnson (67th)
75. Ryan Harrison (109th)
76. Tim Smyczek (116th)
81. Denis Kudla (102nd)
84. Bradley Klahn (131st)
103. Robby Ginepri (123rd)
123. Wayne Odesnik (144th)
149. Michael Russell (181st)
164. Rajeev Ram (182nd)
171. Alex Kuznetsov (176th)
175. Daniel Kosakowski (203rd)
181. Austin Krajicek (213th)
191. Tennys Sandgren (215th)
213. Bobby Reynolds (252nd)
217. Rhyne Williams (206th)
229. Jared Donaldson (246th)

Any of the top five names could make some waves in the first week of the U.S. Open, though one figures only Isner has a change to still be around in the second week.

The Rankings

Without further ado, here are your top 300 men according to AB.
