British Men - Top 25 etc table

RE: British Men - Top 25 (detailed table) - poll added

steven · Tennis legend

It's Baker or Bust this week after James, Edward and Josh all went out today, albeit after a relatively good week in which Josh and James both went further than they were seeded to get. Oddly, the LTA's this week in tennis feature mentions James & Edward's runs, but not Josh or James. Anyway, http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/current.htm has been updated accordingly and I'll add in Jamie's QF result when it appears later tonight.

Meanwhile, http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/2008wk09.htm now contains details and draw links for virtually all of the qualifying draws for next week as well as definite DAs.

Re. week 9: an impressive 15 or 16 (depending on whether Jamie Feaver appears in Castel Gandolfo qualifying) out of the 21 active players in our top 25 have got DAs or are taking part in qualifying for next week.

Missing are:

- Andy (resting before Dubai, IW & Miami)

- Rushby (possibly injured in Cuba this week)

- Irwin & Brewer (seem to have given up on Thailand as a bad job and decided to leave Flan in qualifying there on his own this week, even though they too would have been seeded high in qualifying had they stuck around)

- Matt Smith (was on the Alt list for Faro, but doesn't seem to be making trips out of the UK just to play qualies at the moment)

Bloomers wn and Flan w/d added to http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/2008wk09.htm along with a little new section which shows (for the top 25 only) points gained so far this year (including Futures points that aren't going to be added for another week or more) and tournaments played, since that's so easy to automate on the sheets. It'll hopefully be helpful as a check to whoever is compiling the full list of net points this year too.

All of Saturday's results and draws are now on http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/2008wk09.htm while current has been updated with Jamie's win.

Week 9 updated with Wolfsburg & Castel Gandolfo results + Benin City main draw.

The main link to the GB top 25 table at http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/current.htm now points to week 9 - you can get back to week 8 (and earlier weeks) using the previous week's table link near the top left of that page.

The week 9 table has been updated with the new official rankings (new career high for Skupski, 658) and now contains all of the information that is readily available.

The busiest top 25 table since the new type started can be found at http://www.britishtennis.net/gbtop25m/current.htm, updated with all of Monday's results and draws and including the names of four Brits outside our top 25 who are in Futures main draws this week - two of them have already won a main draw round!

You can also see at a glance who is due to play on Tuesday - I'll only do this garish highlighting for R1, since that tends to be the round that gets split over two days.

Come on, it's not that hard to understand if you've got a vague idea of how tennis works. LOL(completely incomprehensible if you haven't got a vague idea, obviously, but it was never meant to be for the two weeks a year mob)

DJ · County player

Ah, but you're studying it at work, Count, with one eye out for the boss! I'm retired, even though fairly busy - makes a difference.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

hehe just pulling your leg steven, although when the page opens you are assulted with a host of information

steven · Tennis legend

LOL I realised that really.

> although when the page opens you are assulted with a host of information

That's the whole idea

- you can look on the ATP or LTA sites if you want to find stuff that's easier on the senses but doesn't give you any background, or if you're happy to go through lots of pages (yawn!) to find the info that's all together on that table.

1 little thing,

To me the smiles for:
still in tournament, but has not gone further than the round he was seeded to reach yet
and
has reached one round further than seeding and/or beaten a higher-ranked player
look the wrong way round?

surely the bottom one should have the bigger smile?
