Updated after comparing with the actual ATP rankings:
I had Clemens defending 24 points that were actually Bohli's. I also missed the fact that Niemayer was a qualifyer in Cradiff, and that Greg was defending 5 points from MC 2006. The end result of this is:
Josh ended the week one place worse at 215 as Clemens shoudl not have dropped behind him Jamie ended the week as predicted at 237 (including Futures points which won't be officially credited until next Monday): Bohli goes below him; Clemens above him Jonnie ends it one better at 250. Bohli goes below him. Greg is off the table at 287.
