I'll do what ifs/that day stuff for all the rankings threads sometime tomorrow morning, I haven't quite finished my table and probs won't get it done now until after I've finished sorting the pick 'em stuff.

What if... (This is done without looking at the draw yet so the worst cases may not be as low as they are, I'll look at some point and change it accordingly.)

The Updated Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net)
Only Andy played today.
Now that he's out, I guess it's time to start work on those wax dolls of Tommy Haas, or this might be the last time we see Andy in the top 10 for a while
Blake and Ljuby kindly lose and fail to get further away from Andy
Berdych is the only threat left and he must get to and pass the Fed before overtaking so masterful inactivity pays dividends once again by the looks of things.
