1981 Men's Tennis - Flushing Meadows Tournament

I'm playing five fictional tournaments with the top 32 ranked players of 1981. Players will be re-seeded after each round and re-ranked after each tournament using the points system described below.  The first tournament takes place on the hard courts at Flushing Meadows, New York

Players will receive 3 points for every set won, 3 points for appearing in a tournament final, and 3 additional points for winning a tournament. Players begin this project with points based on their rankings - John McEnroe starts with 32 points, Ivan Lendl with 31 points, etc.

Winner indicated by “x” for quick reference.
