No- one loses places as the week begins as all defended points were taken off at the start of US Open fortnight.
The big question this week, is whether Jamie and Richard can hold onto the gains they made in US Open qualies:
Jamie is at 220, up 11 on the fortnight so far, and sitting four places higher than his career high. Richard is at 236, up 9 on the fortnight.
Behind Jamie, we have Jan Minar, Huta Galung, Lopez, Armando, Hajek, Ivo Minar, Petschner and Chardy playing in Challengers this week. Behind Bloomers, there's Lugassy, Jeanpierre, Ruiz, Feeney, Dustov and Aldi.
The opnly player to have played this week so far is Feeney, who won his first round in France F12.
Over to Bethan to tell us about the first round threats!

Really bad day for Jamie's ranking Jan Minar, Huta Galung and Lopezall overtake Hajek, Petschner and Chardy advance behind him Baker drops three to 223 - now just one above his career high
Only Armando lost among Jamie's threats.
Richard emerged unscathed from the carnage: Lugassy and Jeanpierre both lost, as did Aldi.
No Bethan today (and for a while unfortunately ), so......
Behind Jamie today, Ivo Minar plays Cervenak in R1 and Chardy plays Sjisling in R2 in Alphen. Chardy draws level on points if he wins
Behind Bloomers, Ruizovertakes if he beats wildcard Pompeo in Genoa Dustov plays Cakl in Donetsk and Feeney plays Meniane in the French Futures.

Ruizovertakes Bloomers Richard down one to 237 Behind him, Dustov and Feeney both win and Gard and Ryderstedt climb onto the table
Behind Jamie, Ivo Minar climbs to just 2 places behind Ahead, JAn Minar and Kukushkin climb off the top, while Meffert is the only player losing.
Today, Jamie can be overtaken by: Hajek, who plays Bohli in Dusseldorf Ivo Minar, who plays Coutelot in Alphen Petzschner, who plays Kravchuk in Donetsk Chardy, who plays Sijsling in Alphen.
If any one of these overtake, Jamie won't be at a new career high on Monday
Richard, meanwhile, is safe for another day: Dustov, Gard, Feeney and Ryderstedt all need to win twice to overtake him.

Horrible, horrible week for Jamie's ranking.......
All four of the threats overtook: Hajek, Ivo Minar, Petzschner and Chardy Jamie is knocked down four places to 227: It won't be a new career high for him, but at least he's still four up on the fortnight.
It's looking relatively safe for the next couple of days for him, as Ruiz lost.
Bloomers escaped again today, Dustov, Gard and Ryderstedt lost Feeney won, and Decoud and Cruciatclimb onto the table
No- one can overtake either of the lads tomorrow.
Decoud can overtake Bloomers if he makes the Alphen final, and Jamie if he wins the tournament. Feeney can overtake Bloomers if he makes the France F12 final. Cruciat can overtake Bloomers if he makes the Brasov final, and Jamie if he wins the tournament. Crivoi can overtake Bloomers if he wins the Brasov title.
Best case, Jamie ends the fortnight up four at 227. Worst case, he drops 2 more to 229.
Best case, Bloomers ends the fortnight up eight at 237. Worst case, he drops 4 more to 241, although Feeney won't overtake until a week on Monday as he's playing Futures.
