There aren’t many ranking points separating the players ranked in the latter half of the top 25. Therefore, the players in that range with the most ranking points at stake – particularly No. 12 Jiri Lehecka, No. 14 Lorenzo Musetti, No. 16 Andrey Rublev and No. 18 Luciano Darderi – will slide quickly without some summer success.<\/p>\n
