One-time leader and people's choice, Wayne Odesnik, now out of contention
Rather than holding a separate tournament, this year the USTA will award its Roland Garros wildcard to the player who accumulates the most points at the Sarasota and Savannah Challenger events.
With his victory in Sarasota, Sam Querrey technically leads the standings but his ranking of 99 on the April 16 cut-off was enough to secure a place in the Paris main draw anyway.
After of the Savannah quarter-finals, three players remain in contention. Here are the current standings:

Ryan Sweeting |

Agustin Gensse |
The scenarios now are pretty simple.
Sweeting needs to win the title to take the wildcard but should he lose his semi-final against Gensse then the winner of the other semi-final between Baker and Strode gets the prize regardless of how they do in a potential final against the Frenchman.
