Chart of British Men's strength in depth
Permalink  

Hi

This is a chart showing the strength in depth of British Men's tennis going back to 1990 as I was interested to see if/how much we've improved as a nation since then ... unfortunately not very much (apart from 2005).

Hopefully it will start to show some real improvements in the Roger Draper era and beyond, so I might start updating it quarterly or even monthly from now on.

Cheers, Andy.

Sounds interesting.

If you save your chart as an image you can upload it to this website http://imageshack.us/ .

Then post the link to it image inside img tags and it will be displayed within a post on the forum.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip Niall.

The Top-100 colour is rather dark, but that was Excel's choice.

I didn't take into account current retirements (Big Arv for one) or imminent retirements, but they will show up naturally in later charts. Wouldn't it be great if this year-end we could beat the 2005 figures

P.S - I was also thinking of doing a line chart showing number of Britains in the top 300 compared to other leading countries, in a similar style to Niall's chart showing the top 4 Brits progress. It would start in Jan 07 and hopefully show us gaining ground

Very interesting.  I assume the 2005 top 200 people were Tim, Greg, Big Arvs and Lee?

In that case, it's most encouraging to have four of our 2007 top 200 people being the young guns: Andy, Boggo & Bloomers.

- worrying not to have the numbers in the 300- 400 range

Fascinating table.

Hopefully Phillips, Ward, Eaton and Kasiri can get into the 300-400 range and our current 200-250 mob can either stay there or move upwards!

The 2005 top 200 were Tim, Greg, Andy, and Boggo, with Arv at 201, and Lee at 320.

If it hadn't been for Jeremy bates we wouldn't have had a single player in the top 200 in 1990 or 91.

This good data. I did something similar for my dissertation going back to 1979 with Women as well. Compared it to other countries on similar status as ourselves (USA, France Germany etc). It was poor reading for us Brits.

Wish I'd carried it on. Would be worth seeing so thanks for that Andy
