The updated table is posted here (on Britishtennis.net).

Montcourt won, and keeps the pressure up.

Today's focus is on Wroclaw and Florianopolis. In Wroclaw, we've got Eschauer playing Przysiezny. Alex can overtake if he makes the final. We've also got Karanusic playing number 1 seed, Mahut: he can overtake Boggo if he makes the semis.

In Florianopolis, Pashanski plays Fognini, and Daniel plays Ferreiro. Both need to make the semis to overtake.

Karanusic beat Mahut, and advances

: If he wins tomorrow, and Boggo loses, he'll overtake.

Eschauer - Przysiezny is next up in Wroclaw.

I'd forgotten the Dallas QF's earlier: Fleishman can add some more distance between his ranking and Alex's if he beats Greul.

RobC · All-time great

Eschauer beat Przysiezny

In Florianopolis, Pashanski beat Fognini

Daniel/ Ferreiro is at 1-1 in the first set.

In Dallas, Fleishman is on next. Dorsch is a set and a break up in the preceeding match.

The "What- if" Post

If Boggo wins in Wroclaw:
He'll have 358 points and Nathalia's friends throwing themselves at him. He'll definitely overtake another 22 players. He could overtake: Bolelli(before SF,Ber), Eschauer(loses in F, Wro).
Best Case:    World number 126 (+14)
Worst Case: World number 128 (+12)

If Boggo loses in the final in Wroclaw:
He'll have 331 points and get to go to Nathalia's party. He'll definitely overtake another 13 players. He could overtake: Eschauer(before SF, Wro), Fleishman(before winning Dallas). He could be overtaken by:Montcourt(if he wins Bergamo), Karanusic(if he wins Wroclaw). Eschauer & Karanusic meet in the QF tomorrow, so a max of 3 from these 4 can hold Boggo back.
Best Case:    World number 137 (+3)
Worst Case: World number 140 (=)

If Boggo loses in the Semis in Wroclaw:
He'll have 308 points and might get to buy Nathalia a drink. He'll definitely overtake another 7 players. He could overtake:Fleishman(before F, Dal). He could be overtaken by: Montcourt(if he makes F,Ber),  Karanusic(if he makes F, Wro), Pashanski and Daniel (if either win, Flo). P & D can't both win Florianopolis, so a max of 4 from these 5 can hold Boggo back.
Best Case:    World number 144 (-4)
Worst Case: World number 148 (-8)

If Boggo loses to Zib in the Quarters in Wroclaw tomorrow:
He'll stay on 289 points and might get Nathalia to acknowledge him. He will be overtaken by: Zib. He could be overtaken by: Montcourt(if he makes S, Ber),  Karanusic(if he makes S, Wro), Pashanski and Daniel (if either make F, Flo). P & D can't both make the final in Florianopolis, so a max of 4 from these 5 can hold Boggo back.
Best Case:    World number 153 (-13)
Worst Case: World number 156 (-16)

Fleishman won

Daniel's been taken to a third set.

Daniel lost to Ferreiro, who takes on Pashanski next.

The big threat is, of course, Zib, who started the week one ahead of Boggo at 139, who's defending 63 points compared to Alex's 60, and who'll overtake if he beats Alex this afternoon. Long, barbed hatpins please ladies!

Montcourt plays Sanguinetti- beating Van Scheppingen in Bergamo, and overtakes if he wins and Boggo loses.

Karanusic plays Eschauer in Wroclaw. Karanusic is threat number 4, Eschauer target number 2. Luckily, we'll know whether Boggo needs protecting from Karanusic or needs Eschauer held back by the time they play.

Ahead of Alex, Bolelli plays Bachinger in Bergamo,
Pashanski plays Ferrero in Florianopolis this evening. Fleishman plays Kendrick in Dallas.

Alex will end the week outside of the top 150

Zib's win takes him past Boggo, and sends Alex down to world number 153.

Montcourt- Van Scheppingen (edit: and not Ferreiro!) should be in progress now, but it seems there's no scores to be had

Pashanski and Karanusic play later this evening.

We have a score from Bergamo: Van Scheppingen beat Montcourt

, so Alex only has Pashanski and Karanusic left to worry about.

No more: Pashanski won, and overtakes Karanusic lost
Alex will end the week at WR154

Zib's playing Economidis in Wroclaw right now: it's one set all, and Zib is up a break: looks like he's really stepped up a level this year.

Pashanski and Zabaleta meet in Florianopolis tonight.

RobC · All-time great

the updated table is posted here (on Britishtennis.net).

Zib wins the semi- final, and advances to WR 140, reclaiming all the points he was defending.

Zabaleta's semi- final in Florianopolis was rained off, and will happen today.

RobC · All-time great

Early start in Brazil:

Zabaleta beats Pashanski, and advances to 19 points behind Alex.
