IF statement is not producing expected results in Python Selenium script

I'm trying to use Selenium to mass post tennis events to a website using a .CSV file. I've almost got it finished, but for some reason I cannot make it so that the player with the higher ranking (higher being closer to number 1) comes first in the event name.

Here I want to produce a title of Wimbledon Federer vs Tsonga, but it keeps coming out as Wimbledon Tsonga vs Federer.

Here is an example of the data being used:

Winner [9]	Loser [10]	WRank [11]	LRank [12]
Tsonga J.W.	Federer R.	19	3

Here is the code:

        player_1_rank = line[11]
        player_2_rank = line[12]
        if player_1_rank < player_2_rank:
            player_1 = line[9]
            player_2 = line[10]
            player_1_rank = line[11]
            player_2_rank = line[12]
        else:
            player_2 = line[9]
            player_1 = line[10]
            player_2_rank = line[11]
            player_1_rank = line[12]
        # Deletes player initials.
        if player_1.count(".") == 1:
            player_1 = ''.join(player_1.split())[:-2]
        elif player_1.count(".") == 2:
            player_1 = ''.join(player_1.split())[:-4]
        if player_2.count(".") == 1:
            player_2 = ''.join(player_2.split())[:-2]
        elif player_2.count(".") == 2:
            player_2 = ''.join(player_2.split())[:-4]
        tournament_name = line[2]
        driver.find_element_by_name("eventname").send_keys(tournament_name+" "+player_1+" vs "+player_2)

Full script can be found here.

Full .CSV data file can be found here.

I'm sure its bound to be something minor I'm missing, but I really need another set of eyes to look at this for me. Thanks for any help you can provide.
