How the points have moved
Ranking points are a rolling 52-week total: every point was earned at a tournament in the last year and expires on the anniversary of that tournament, whether or not the player enters it again. That is why a player can lose points in a week without losing a match. A dash means we have no published ranking that far back for Ben Shelton.
