Qualifying has given Jamie two extra points and pushed him to 230 in the rankings. From here is threatened by Ruiz-Cadenas and Martin (both one win away). If he beats Wessels Jamie would have 176 points and so would move to 225 in the rankings IF Miranda, Gonzalez and Lammer lose. If not it'll only be 228.
Richardville:
I have Richard at 243 in the live rankings, with Quintero and Knittel immediate threats both a single win away from overtaking.

Richardville:
Knittel went out but I made a mistake and unfortunately he's already ahead of Richard So Richard is at 244 in the live rankings, with Quintero and Chardy the immedate threats, both a single win away from overtaking.

Jamie is at 231 in the rankings at the moment. And amazingly there is no one threatening him for quite some time. THe nearest threat is Chardy who must reach the semis of Graz to overtake.
Richard is at 244 in the rankings (though i'm not 100% on that, he's on the same number of points are two other players so I need to check what order they'll end in).Chardy Needs one win to level on points with Richard which may or may not allow him to overtake (don't worry I'll work it out at somepoint today!). Rosol is the next nearest and he requires two wins to overtake.

Bad news I'm afraid. Rob has kindly pointed out that Kukushkin has reached the final of a Russian futures this week and so will overtake both Jamie and Richard in two weeks time
Jamie:
Threats left for the week:
Soeda: one win (w of manta)
worst case: 234 (+4) Best case: 231(+7)
Richard:
Threats left for the week:
Soeda: one win (w of manta)
