The 18 year old Gianni Mina from France is currently the World No.655 on the men's ATP Tour. The rankings do not factor in who you play against. So unfortunately for Mina, playing against Nadal in the 1st round of Roland Garros as a wild card entrant means he does not receive any ranking points at all. Last year he did not play at Roland Garros, so he will not lose any points, which means he still has 29 ATP ranking points. When the next rankings are out, he will stay pretty much where he is, in the mid to high 600's. Mina was the runner-up in the 2009 Junior Roland Garros boys singles final, is currently the Junior ITF World No.3 and was No.1 just 2 months ago. Mina will be playing the Junior event again this year, so watch out for how he does. The Junior tournament runs for 1 week and begins on Monday 31 May. Hi Terrie,
