Tim's competitors: Week 7: Marseille, San Jose etc..
Permalink  

The table is posted here (on www.britishtennis.net, as namechecked by Jamie Murray!)

Tim returns to masterful inactivity this week, gaining two places as the week begins, as Moya and Clement  drop below him, defending points from last year. 

I'm sure Bethan will help us out with who the threats are sometime soon.......

What if?...

In case you hadn't noticed, Tim isn't playing this week. A maximum of 10 players could overtake him they are: Benneteau (qf of M), Volandri (sf of C), Gicquel (sf of M), Bjorkman (sf of M), Moya (w in C), Monfils (w in M), Becker (w in S), Grosjean (w in M), Lee (w in S), Clement (w in M). Only one winner from each tournament and then the draws means:

Best case: 38(nc)
Worst case: 45 (-7)

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

Moya and Gaudio  are out Benneteau picks up a wildcard in Marseilles and wins his first round.

Today, in Marseilles:Gicquel plays Monfils;  in Costa Do Sauipe, Volandri plays Kuerten (let's hope that Guga can cause a shock!); in San Jose, Lee plays qualifier King.

With Moya out, worst case is now 44 (-6)

Rob, you have rather impressively made you whole post a link to Britishtennis.net now I know we want people to visit the rankigs page but don't you think that's a little OTT?

By the way, whats the hit count for the rankings? is it getting up to the levels that the threads (especially Andy's) attract?

Tim's ranking has done remarkably well considering he's not played this year!

Hmm. wonder how I managed to do that linking thing?  Now fixed.

As for the stats: it's

total 363


today 15

yesterday  24

Feb 363

So a few, but not exactly a shedload.  I think people aren't clicking through so muck from these threads.  It'll be interesting to see how it goes now that we're in an "Andy Week" rather than just a Boggo/Bloomers/Josh week....

problem with Andy's ranking now is that it doesn't fluctuate as much as the others so in some ways its less exciting!

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

Gicquel beat Monfile ; Lee beat King , and advances.

Today, Grosjean plays Andy threat Nieminen, Clement plays Andy target Ferrer and Bjorkman plays Bracciali in Marseille.

Becker plays qualifier Vemic in San Jose.

I think we can try to nobble all except Clement!

Grosjean  has withdrawn from Marseille. The latest of many: something they put into the Pastis down there? Clement went out to Ferrer.

Just Becker to go, tonight.

Becker advances Clement  is knocked out.

Today, number 1 threat, Benneteau plays Andy competitor, Ferrer and will overtake Tim if he wins. Bjorkman plays Seppi and Gicquel plays Andy competitor, Gasquet, all in Marseille.

It's a tough one: do we support Benneteau to hold Ferrer back so that Andy can overtake him by reaching the San Jose final? Or Ferrer, so that Benneteau doesn't knock Tim back a place?? Both gicquel and Gasquet can have another win before we need to worry about them.

Tonight, Becker plays Phau and Lee  plays Greul in San Jose. Chela plays Ram- Ham in CdS.

Benneteau beat Ferrer (4-6 6-0 6-1), and Tim is knocked back to number 38 (still up 1 on the week)

Bethan, now that the first rund's over, what're the possibilities for Tim?
