The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net)
Istomin climbs off the table. Bachinger and Munoz de la Nava lost.
What- if for Tuesday: Boggo has 215 points and is sitting at 192.
If Alex beats Chardy in Besancon: he'll have 223 points he will overtake Dupuis, Ulihrach, Huta Galung, Bogomolov, Udomchoke and Bachinger He could be overtaken by no-one.
He'll climb to 186.
If Alex loses: He could be overtaken by: Mirnyi, who plays Lu in San Jose
Best case, he stays at 192, worst case he'll drop to 193.
so now we need Jamie to tell Max to stop p***ing about with the singles when they've got a title to defend
It may be 'p***ing about' to you, Rob, but it's serious money to Max; reaching the singles quarter-final (by beating Lu, then Wayne Odesnik - certainly not beyond his capabilities) brings home more prize-money than winning the doubles title!

It's all about motivation: if he's in danger of overtaking Boggo, then we want him to be thinking about the importance of staying fit for the doubles match. Had he been playing a threat to Andy, then he has to be thinking about regaining the top 100
