Again, thanks to Bethan for keeping things afloat.
From her "Brit Rankings" thread:
Monday: 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 season). He loses 100 points and all that masterful inactivity means he has no 19th result to replace it with . 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.
Tuesday: 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.
I'm liking the praise your showering me with in all these threads, perhaps you could be late posting the tables more often!!
As i said before it's really no trouble.
Oh, and I'm watching the Djokovic/Kendrick match and the commentators were chatting about what Tim might do if he fell to 75 in the rankings...I'm not conviced they realised that that's where he's going to be next week.

hmm I guess the issue is getting into tournaments - and if Tim wins a few matches at Nottingham and Wimbledon, then he'll only be down there for a couple of weeks.... so benefit of the doubt??
