Winners and Losers of 2004 World Rankings
The following tables give the World Ranking winners and losers for 2004 in a slightly different than normal method. Firstlt there are the biggest net gainers of 2004, no surprised who is No.1 in this list though three of the top five names may be a surprise to many.
The biggest net losers of 2004 again may contain some surprises and finally the biggest points winners of 2004, probably less surprises here.
