Brit rankings week 24
Permalink  

As Rob hasn't yet posted the tables (the ATP website has been playing up all day which probably hasn't helpedfurious.gif) I thought I'd do a quick round up of where all the Brits are at the moment.

Andy Murray: As has been mentioned elsewhere, Blake is defending finals points from last year and so drops behind Andy. He'll need to reach the final in Halle to reovertake. Gasquet could also overtake by winning in Halle. So Andy is safe in the top 10 for another week. At the moment Andy has a running rank of 8.

Tim Henman: The trouble with doing well one year is you have to defend the next and Tim has fallen into this trap (Andy's worked it out for the clay court seasonwink.gif). He loses 100 points and all that masterful inactivity means he has no 19th result to replace it with cry.gif. Currently lying at 75 Tim has a chance to redeem it by winning lots this week but it's not all fun and games as lots of people around him is also playing.

Alex Bogdanovic: Alex has now successfully defended his 5 points from last year and increased his total by adding another 5 clap.gif He is sitting at a running rank of 114 at the moment. A win against Baker on Wednesday could take Alex as high as 107 but there are others playing around him so it could be 112.

Richard Bloomfield: Richard's draw really was nasty. By virtue of not defending anything he's moved up one place today to sit at 188 but it's a sea of red behind him nearly everyone playing somewhere. So it could be a very bad week at the office for him cry.gif (Dustov, Ventura and Armando are the nearest threats)

To be continued....

...Continued from the previous post, the rest of the Brits in the top 300

Josh Goodall: Like the rest of the Brits, Josh is surrounded by people playing this week (such a strange thing for tennis players to be doing wink.gif) and, like Richard he's probably going to suffer from being unable to pick up anymore points. Minar, Vagnozzi, Tourte, Stadler and Dorsch are all breathing down his neck. One bright spark in the midst of this is that Minar is defending so Josh gains a place in the running rankings to 222.

Jamie Baker: Jamie provides us with the success story of the day. (I still can't get over how marvelously he did to come back from 36 35 down biggrin.gif) Like Boggo he was defending 5 points from his rd1 loss last year and like Boggo he has increased his total by 5 points. However, unlike Boggo this has made a huge difference to his running rank, 10 places in fact! He's currently sitting pretty at 238. A win over Boggo on Wednesday would gain Jamie another 11 places to 227 and allow him to join the group breathing down Goodall's neck. (He'd need to beat Roddick to actually overtake but still!) Whilst there are others playing around Jamie, it's not nearly as many as for the other boys.

Alan Mackin: Has gained 3 places this week, to put him at a running rank of 256 currently.

Jonny Marray: Has gained 4 places this week due to poorly defended points by others. He has a running rank of 258. Both Alan and Jonny are under threat from quite a few players but Chen is the only one able to overtake with a single win, at the moment.

So there you have it, any questions post and I'll answer as best I can. And hopefull Rob will get the tables online soon. smile.gif

Gasquet lost first set to Qureshi and was broken at 3-3 in the 2nd set. He had 2 break point chances in the very next game but missed both so now trails 5-3. Great news for Andy if Qureshi can break or serve it out...

112 is Alex's current career high from a couple of weeks ago. However, that would not be guarenteed as there are still players behind who could overtake Alex if he failed to get past Roddick. Likewise he's not safe at 114 if he loses against Baker.


Gasquet being out is excellent news for Andy, he is guarenteed to be at least 9th on Monday.

Where the Brits are after today:

Andy Murray Still at 8 in the running rankings. As has been said Gasquet lost meaning Andy cannot go any lower than 9th this week. Still need to get Blake out before the final though!

Tim Henman lost the memo we sent telling him masterful inactivity wasn't going to work this week. Blissfully unaware he lost his match and will now have to rue that piece of miscomunication. He's lost a place to Karlovic today putting him at 76 in the running rankings. On the bright(ish) side, he's now in the area of the rankings where lots of people lose first round so his list of threats has lessened considerably. The closest threat now is Korolev who's one win away from overtaking. Roughly 12 players can still overtake him and his worst case is roughly 83.

Alex Bogdanovic A couple of loses by Udomchoke and Roger-Vasselin mean the Alex will advance to at least 110 if he beats Baker tomorrow. If he loses the picture turns bleak again with Dancevic and Tsonga only a win away from overtaking for starters and plenty more eager to take places from him. So...he'll just have beat Baker and Roddick then smile.gif. Incidently, to break the top100 (in the running ranks at least) all Alex has to do is get past Roddick, manage that and he'd be at a running rank of 99. not much to ask is it!

Richard Bloomfield lost a place to Armando today leaving him at 189 back where he started. Dustov lost but Ventura has been joined by Christophe Rochus as being only one win away from overtaking.

Rest of the Brits in the next post.

The promised second half:

Josh Goodall Josh lost places today to Vagnozzi and Stadler, leaving him at a running rank of 224 Crivoi, Tourte, Rosol and Golubev are next in line to overtake(only one win each away from doing so). But it's not all bad news as both Dorsch and Minar lost and so can no longer overtake our boy.

Jamie Baker Jamie didn't have the best of days either with him losing 3 places to Golubev, Istomin and Recouderc. He now stands at 241 in the running rankings. A win tomorrow against Alex would now take him to a provisional 228 in the rankings. If Baker manages to do so and then goes on to be Roddick he'd be sitting pretty at 202 in the running rankings. If he loses against Alex he only has a few people to worry about, Sirianni being the only one within a win of overtaking at the moment.

Alan Mackin nothing has changed since yesterday.

Jonny Marray same for him, except to say that Chen failed to overtake. Next on the hit list is Trujillo-Soler who is one win away from overtaking both Jonny and Alan.

As before any questions please post and I'll answer as best I can. smile.gif

Yeah, I know and i have gone into less effort for him, but whilst he's only 2 points ahead of Jonny i can't help but see what happens to him as players who can overtake Jonny can often overtake him at the same time, that's the only reason he's still up there. smile.gif
