With the 2014 season now over, it’s that time of year when tennis players embark on an all-too-brief period of rest and reflection.
For those who have enjoyed strong years, the latter will aid the former.
But, with tennis rankings based on an annual period (rather than a two-year period as in certain other sports, and as many tennis players have advocated), some may also have nagging doubts about defending their progress and points from this year.
It should be said that any player could conceivably struggle to defend their ranking points; after all, any player can be hindered by bad luck, a dip in form or an injury.
The latter two affected Andy Murray this year, of course, resulting in him dropping outside the Top 10 after a brilliant 2013.
Those who have perhaps overachieved this year—whether at a select tournament, on a particular surface, or throughout most of the year overall—will be at most risk in terms of slipping down the rankings in 2015.
Read on to see which players those may prove to be.
