The table's gone all red, as most of Tim's competitors join him twiddling their thumbs on the sidelines.
Only Lopez himself and last year's semi- finalist Jonas Bjorkman advance.
Unfortunately, Bjorkman overtakes in doing so, and knocks Tim down to 70
Ahead, Llodra, Eschauer and Santoro all lost. Behind, Grosjean, Vliegen, Guccione and Bolelli are out and no longer threats.
Roger- Vasselin and Tsonga are the next threats for Tim to worry about: R-V overtakes if he beats Gasquet tomorrow . Tsonga must make the quarter final. He plays F-Lo tomorrow, then the winner of the R-V/Gasquet match.
How does Bjorkman overtake Tim. Bjorkman is seeded 19 so must be 50 places above Tim already?
Bjorkman started the week around number 30 in the world, but because he had a Wimbledon semi final, and a Nottingham final on grass over the last year, he has an awful lot of grass court bonus points added to his ranking to give him such a high seeding
He then drops 450 points from last year's Wimbledon, which is about half of his ranking points and in doing so dropped behind Tim
