This is a list of the players who have moved at least 100 places in the rankings in the last year:

Singles Century Club
Players who have moved at least 100 places from 2006 into the 2007

Hanescu, Victor 566 77 643
Darcis, Steve 386 *88 474
Young, Donald 386 *98 484
Ventura, Santiago 295 *89 384
Sela, Dudi 174 *66 240
Tsonga, Jo-Wilfried 169 *43 212
Roger-Vasselin, Edouard 157 *96 253
Fognini, Fabio 155 *94 249
Canas, Guillermo 128 15 143
Ascione, Thierry 102 93 195
Cilic, Marin 102 *71 1973

The first figure is the number of places moved; the second one is the 07 year end ranking (the little star means it's their first time in the top 100) and the final figure is the 06 year end rank.

Impressive to finally see Young up there - he;'s been touted as the next big American thing, be interesting to see how he does this year.

Tsonga and Cilic are obviously recognisable through their exploits at Queen's (and a certain match at the US Open.........) and obviously Canas is well known anyway.

Any thoughts? Any of those who you think we should be watching out for in the next year :ok:

And to think that I've been mocking Young all-year round in 2006... :lol:

Hanescu and Canas' progresses aren't that surprising but of that lot I was most impressed by Tsonga. The guy's a beast, he'll most definitely become a top player.

I'm rather pleased to see Cilic going up as well, but I'm a bit surprised that he had not done so earlier :unsure: Oh well, I guess that he didn't want to break into the big stage too prematurely like Don Young who's mouth got stuffed with bagels and bread sticks last year :tsk:
