...Tim were to lose in round 1? He'd have 620 points. He could be overtaken by: Simon(out in rd1), Starace(rd1), Del Potro (rd1), Mirnyi(rd1), Garcia-Lopez(rd2), Grosjean (rd2), Spadea(rd2), Russell (rd2), Delic(rd2), (out in rd3 for the next lot) Herandez, Koubek, Vliegen, Lopez, Stepanek, Lapentti, Bolelli, Monfils, Querrey, Gabashvilli, Tipsarevic, Johansson, Serra, Horna, Pless, Gulbis. (out in rd4) Llodra, Roitman, Kendrick, Devilder, Kunitsyn, Hernych, Ramirez-Hidalgo, Karlovic, Hartfield, Vassallo-Arguello, Eschauer, Navarro-Pastor, Seppi, Berlocq, Peya, Guccione, Gaudio, Mahut, Lu, Cillic (out in qf) Dlouhy, Bracciali, Udomchoke, Capdeville, Andreev, Luczak, Patience, Falla, Hajek, Brzezicki, Di Mauro, Economidis, Roger-Vasselin, Galvani, Montcourt, Gimelstob, Ascione, Daniel, Pashanski, Ram, Haehnel, Fognini, Ulihrach, C Rochus, Vemic. (out in sf) Minar, Levy, Cipolla, Recourderc and all the wildcards/qualifiers ranked below 300. So it's not looking great. Best case: 53 Worst case: a lot less. (I'll fill this in if and only if Tim goes out round 1)
...Tim were to lose in round 2? He'd have 650 points and could overtake Montanes, Massu and Santoro is they all went out in rd1. He could be overtaken by everyone still. Best case: 50 worst case: again coming when the draw has cleared a bit.

I think todays threats include everyone as the French organisers struggle to get round 1 finished! (who thinks they're foolish to keep the start time at 11am, moving it back even half an hour could make a huge difference).
I'll update after Tim plays this afternoon
