tennis rankings

Why are Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick ranked so highly in the ATP world tennis rankings?
The lad’s good but only won one major thus far, and im wondering how he’s so highly rated already, and why, on the other hand, Andy Roddick is still ranked above 50 let alone the top 5. Roddick hasnt made it past the quarters of a grand slam since before I was born.
James blake is definitely America’s number one, but is still 7-10 behind him.
come on Jesus, he was number 3 before the Aussie open dummy
Novak Djokovic does extremely well in Grand Slams (at least SF of all 4 majors) and Andy Roddick does very well in the next level of tournaments after the majors therefore they are ranked well inside the top 10. The reason why these two are ranked so well is because they are consistent in a lot of tournaments over a 12-month period. Given below are how they earn their ranking points from various tournaments:
Novak Djokovic
2008-01-14 Australian Open 1000p WON Grand Slam
2007-08-27 US Open 700p F Grand Slam
2007-08-06 Montreal 500p WON Tennis Masters
2007-03-19 Miami 500p WON Tennis Masters
2007-06-25 Wimbledon 450p SF Grand Slam
2007-05-28 Roland Garros 450p SF Grand Slam
and various other points…Total 5165p = #3
Andy Roddick
2007-08-27 US Open 250 QF Grand Slam
2007-06-25 Wimbledon 250 QF Grand Slam
2007-06-11 London / Queen’s Club 225 WON International
2007-03-05 Indian Wells 225 SF Tennis Masters
2007-11-12 Shanghai 200 SF Tennis Masters Cup
2007-07-30 Washington 200 WON International
and various other points…Total 2155 = #6
Hope this explains why they’re inside the top 10 especially Andy Roddick…
