Neps? What's a Neps?

It will be interesting as this change bubbles through the rankings week by week. For instance, suppose a 2009 tournament has the exact same results as the 2008 version. Players well get double the points, for the exact same performance. There will be some odd rankings changes, as each tournament goes on.

Neps = Ginepri

The strange thing about it is that the ATP aren't recalibrating players rankings based on this new points structure at the beginning of the year. So after the Australian, you'll have
Aussie Winner = 2000/US Open Winner = 1000
Aussie RU = 1200/US Open RU = 700

If they were doubling points across the board for all rounds, it wouldn't matter. But because they aren't it will artificially inflate players 2008 points, relatively speaking. So for almost the entire year, the rankings will be a mess.
