If Stepanek gets to the final he will pass Andy i think

He loses a place for each one. If almagro wins he's 15th. If robredo wins he's 15th. If they both win he's 16th.

Just to refresh our memories
Andy will be ranked 13th next week (and level on points with Youzhny, who'd be 12th), unless one of the following happen: Robredo, Almagro, Ferrero, Wawrinka or Karlovic reach the semis Andreev reaches the final Verdasco or Stepanek win the tournament.
However, only a maximum of 4 of these can catch him, hence the lowest possible is 17th.
So, he's now 14th unless:
Robredo or Almagro reaches the semis (i.e. wins their match today) Or Stepanek wins the tournament.
So he could drop as far as 16th still.

At least Andy is going in the right direction, up the rankings.

Yeah definitely. Like I said in another topic, he is technically having a better clay season than last year We do have to bear in mind, he's still got 1 master's series, 2 grand slams, and probably two other tournaments (Indianapolis and Queens) where he defends 0 points. So just playing in them will get him up the rankings if he wins a few matches.

but if he was to win about 3 or 4 games in Hamburg he would go up the rankings rapidly.

Well not really. A SF place will get him 9th or 10th maybe, but only if things go his way i think. A final or a win would maybe see him 8th or 9th. At a push 7th, but he'd need other results to go his way.

Andy will be 14th next week unless Sexy Stepanek manages to beat Djokovic and either Roddick/Wawrinka in the final and wins the tournament.

Murray makes him look like a flash in the pan.  The two occassions they met, he hammered him.

Stepaner and Roddick withdraw with injuries. It doesn't matter about Wawrinka as he already went past Andy yesterday. But since Stepanek is out Andy will be ranked 14th on Monday.
