thanks freerider that's really interesting. we'll have to try and keep it updated over the year and see how(if) things change.

Would it be possible to add another line that says how many tournaments have been played, not just tournaments where points have been won?

i think u forgot boggos aoq points.

was it four points he got at AOQ ?

Hey freerider - Would it be easy to do the comparatives at the same date for 2007 alongside this?

Be good to use this to monitor the all-important "Malteaser target" of 12 Brit players in the top 500 by the end of 2008. Top 500 at the moment is above 52 points.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but we have one gauranteed by these stats - Murray!

Baker, Boggo and Bloomers are pretty much shoe-ins too. So that's 4.

Goodall is a def, now he's playing decent again and Wardy looks like it too - 6.

Slabba playing Challenger qualies isn't helping (appreciated that it's better for him in the long run), but if he gets through them and picks up a win or two, then his points will jump quickly, so that should be 7.

So they are the easy ones!!!

I'm looking at the final 5 being made up of Seater, Kasiri, Skupski and 2 others. Cox? Bamford? Phillips? Marray? Smethurst.

i know that the LTA get panned for talking about targets, but i think this one is realistic. What do other people think?

You reckon Baker will get top 100 this year? Very optimistic imo, for all the talk of how much he's progressing etc. and don't get me wrong, people on here will vouch that I'm as big a Baker fan as anyone, his ranking is currently, what, around 260. At the Aus Open last year he was around the 300 mark I believe. So an increase of 40 places in 14 months isn't actually that great. Did great to qualify for the Aus Open and I think had one great challenger run in the 2nd half of last year (correct me if I'm wrong), apart from that he's done very little away from Futures.
