    I have been trying to get the forth skill for a character and I can't get to be ranked #1. I have one two grand slams and a few other big tournaments and still only ranked #3. In both of the tournaments I haven't had to play the top 2 ranked guys for some reason. I guess they were eliminated early in the tournament or whatever. Well I'll try a few more events I guess, but I thought winning to majors in a row would do it.

    Now I have won 3 grand slams and still ranked #2. I don't get it. I haven't played the #1 ranked guy in any of the slams. Well I guess I'll play the one more of the slams and I would hope that would bring me to #1

    i won all 4 and was still ranked 2, i think it's what you do at the start , if you lose or drop out of a tournament the other gain points on you

    I beat Takur, Hewitt, and Sampras (6, 2, 1) in my first slam. I'm #2 right now. Weird.

    I won all of them now and finally got ranked first. I hadn't lost any tournaments I entered with that character either. Just for some reason none of the top 2 guys would be in the tournaments I had entered until the last slam.

    I only needed 2 slams to get my #1 ranking.

    Like Tris10 said, alot of it depends on what you did earlier, and your ranking where you started the slam. Don't try a GS tournament unless you are top 5 or so... otherwise your points won't jump up enough to take over the #1.

    Instead, play all of the Major Pro tournaments available, and THEN do the GS's.

    i was ranked #1 without winning any slams. i just woin all the minor-pro and some pro tourney's and i was ranked #1

    i guess it matters what contenient your home country is on. i was born in Europe so i started there and since tennis isn't popular in North America u don't get that much better in rankings or something like that

    i have no idea how the ranking works

    Yeah, you suck. I know this because I lost in the finals of my first Pro tourney also. You're not alone. :cry: :laugh:

    I guess it's possible, but you still need a slam to get legend status (to get that 4th skill).

    If you want to be ranked one just do a lot of small tournies, it's all about your ATP points, earn those, consideirng all you've done you should be pretty close, I think I had about 673 or so when i had to get over Sampras when he was 1st with 653 pts.

    goalie - you're not the only one. I seem to have a special ability to suck against the computer in this game.

    Whew! Finally got to number one only by playing pro, pro-am, and minor pro tournaments. Now going to see if winning the grand slam gets me the fourth skill.

    yup - it will.

    i actually won all the pro ($100,000) tourneys, and then won one major pro ($500,000) tourney - and was ranked number 1!

    then i won the pseudo-US Open to get the 4th skill...

    the ign guide says that you have to get to #1 and beat the #1 guy in your seedings. There have been several #1 players in my career, so i'm not sure about that yet... But it didn't mention anything about having to win a Grand Slam.

    The IGN guide is crappola then.

    Legend status is what is required to gain the 4th skill. To become a Legend, you have to win a Grand Slam title AND gain #1 status.
