'No problems... normal service will resume next week. For this week, as we're in the second week of a Grand Slam, all the points defended for the whole fortnight came off last week - and so there's no need for that column or 19th scores this week.
(hope that makes sense)'
Yes, that makes perfect sense thanks. I knew there had to be an explanation but just couldn't see it!
Rajeev Ram overtakes Josh, winning in Waikoloa. Josh is now down to 210. - Let's win some games in Wrexham!!! Reynolds and Stakhovsky also won in Waikoloa, and move up closer to Greg. Garcia wins in Santiago, and joins them breathing down Greg's neck. Lopez loses - makes Josh's job a bit easier. Gonzalez goes out, behind Richard.
In Wrexham, Josh plays Crugnola. If he wins, he'll overtake Silva, Tsonga and Eitzinger, all of whom overtook him last week.
Richard's number 2 threat and Josh's number 4 threat, Haehnal plays Vacek, and will overtake Richard if he wins. Richard threat 4, Tourte, plays 1st seed, Faurel. Richard threat 5, Vico, plays Bubka. Richard threat 6, Kollerer, plays Lee Childs - C'mon Lee! None can overtake today.
In Heilbronn, Richard's number 1 threat, and Josh's number 3 threat, Clemens, plays the returning Bohdan Ulirach. If he wins, he'll overtake both Richard & Josh (no matter what Josh's result)
In Durban, Richard threat 3/Josh threat 5, Luczak plays Sarstrand. He'll also overtake them both if he wins.
This evening, in Santiago, Josh target #1, Vagnozzi plays his second round match against Vassalo- Arguello.
Tonight, in Waikoloa, Josh target 3, Odesnik plays David Martin.
Odesnikwon overnight, and is now just 1 point behind Greg.
(fyi, Jonny's lost 4 places so far this week. Alan's lost one)
Today, in Wrexham, Bloomers gets his chance to overtake Josh. He'll climb to 206 if Haehnel loses.
Also in Wrexham, Josh threat 2(& Richard target 1), Haehnel plays on- form Pole, Przysiezny; Richard threat 1, Vicoplays Prpic, and threat 2, Kollerer, plays qualifier Crugnola. Bloomfield, HAehnel and Vico will all overtake Josh if they win
In Durban, Josh threat 1, Montcourt, plays Greg threat and Richard target, Luczak. If Montcourt wins, he overtakes Josh, and goes ahead of a winning Richard. If Luczak wins he overtakes a winning Richard and Greg ; Klec plays boggo target Norman, and would overtake Josh and a losing Richard if he won.
In Santiago, this evening, Greg threat 2, Garcia plays Brzezicki, and will breach the Rusedski force field if he wins.Fognini plays Mazarakis.
In Waikaloa, overnight, the Greg shield will have it's toughest test: Odesnik plays Echagaray, Reynolds plays Fleishman and Stakovsky plays Lam. Surely at least one will make it past Greg
Richard rises (temporaily - until the Durban results are in) to World 205
Josh drops another place to World 212. And loses "British Top 5" status (which, of course, Richard reclaims!!)
A QF win (can we hope??) would take Bloomers into the top 200 and level on points, but behind on mandatory points to Greg (R2 at Wimbles vs R16 in the Rome Masters series)
If Bloomers wins in Wrexham, he will rise to WR 179. Sa(SF, Santiago), Junquera(SF,San), Odesnik(F,Waikoloa), Garcia(W,San), Stakhovsky(F, Wai), Ram(W, Wai), Montcourt(F, Durban) are threats. Only 6 can overtake, so worst case is WR 185.
If Bloomers gets to the final, he climbs to 187 . Odesnik(SF,Wai),Garcia(F,San), Stakhovsky(SF, Wai), Ram(F, Wai), Montcourt(SF, Durban) and Fognini (W, San) are threats. All 6 can overtake, so worst case is WR 193.
If Bloomers gets to the Semi-final, he climbs to 199. Ram(SF, Wai), Montcourt(SF, Dur), Vico(F, Wrexham), Fognini (F, San) and Przysiezny (W, Wre) are threats. All 5 can overtake, so worst case is WR204.
If Bloomers loses to Cakl today, he stays at 206. Vico(SF, Wre), Fognini (SF, San) and Przysiezny (F, Wre), are threats. All 3 can overtake, so worst case is WR209.
Greg is at WR198. Ram(SF, Wai), Montcourt(SF, Durban), Bloomers(F, Wre), Vico(F, Wre), Fognini (F, San) and Przysiezny (W, Wre) are threats. Only 5 can overtake, so worst case is WR203.
Josh is at WR214. Fognini (SF, San) and Przysiezny (F, Wre), are threats. Both can overtake, so worst case is WR216.
Alan Mackin is at WR245. Robert(F, Wre), Crugnola(W, Werxham), Ulirach(W,Heilbronn) can overtake. Only 2 can overtake, so worst case is WR247.
Jonny Marray is at WR250. Robert(F, Wre), Crugnola(W, Werxham), Ulirach(W,Heilbronn) can overtake. Only 2 can overtake, so worst case is WR252.
