The Updated Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net)
Overnight Tuesday, Sela advanced to sit just 4 points behind Richard: If Bloomers loses today, he'll be just a win away from overtaking. A win for Richard on Wed will take him past Rochus and Ghem.
...Bloomers were to lose in round 2? He'd have 216 points. He'd overtake no one. He could be overtaken by Sela, Bastl, Klec, Jones, Jeanpierre, Dabul, Dorsch, Dolgopolov, Cipolla and Ferreiro. Best case: 194(-6) Worst case: 204(-16)
...Bloomers were to lose in the qf? He'd have 224 points. He'd overtake Arthurs, Rochus, Armando and Dustov. He could overtake Ventura (out before qf). He could be overtaken by Sela, Bastl, Klec, Jones, Jeanpierre, Dabul and Dorsch. Best case: 189 (-1) Worst case: 197 (-9)
...Bloomers were to lose in the sf? He'd have 235 points. He'd overtake Arthurs, Rochus, Armando, Dustov, Phau, Koellerer and Stakhovsky. He could overtake Ventura (out before sf), Okun (out before sf), Daniel (out before sf), Mertinak (out before sf), Fognini (out before qf). He could be overtaken by Sela, Bastl, Klec and Jones. Best case: 182 (+6) Worst case: 191 (-3)
...Bloomers were to lose in the f or win? He'd have either 249 or 266 points. He could get as high as 170(+12) or 165(+23). But the number of people still playing is too high for me to list everyone at this stage.
