Slabba really needs a win here if he is to finish the year inside top 400 rather than back closer to 500. He just hasn't been picking up enough points in 2008. 24 points available to semi-finalists here so a couple of unlikely wins would be very handy, even the 13 for quarter finalists would be a big boost. Sadly, I rather expect Snobel will crush him but you never know.


I see what you mean. Here's the GB top 10 in terms of points won so far this year (the next two after this, would you believe, are A-ward and Thornley with 8!) - the columns are:
 
points won so far this year - name - actual GB ranking position - (annualised points using a multiplier of 48/20 and their points in the ranking list now, showing who has been performing above their ranking and who hasn't over the last few months)

Of course, this table usually looks a bit more healthy after the grass season, but with less home Challengers this year, it might not improve as much as it usually does)

795Andy Murray1(1908 annualised c.f. 1480 running) smile
83Alex Bogdanovic3(199.2 annualised c.f. 157 running) smile
63Josh Goodall4(151.2 annualised c.f. 137 running) smile
53Jamie Baker2(127.2 annualised c.f. 157 running) cry
42Richard Bloomfield7(100.8 annualised c.f. 89 running) smile
26James Ward8(62.4 annualised c.f. 59 running) smile
20Alex Slabinsky5(48 annualised c.f. 95 running) cry
20Ken Skupski12(48 annualised c.f. 31 running) smile
13Edward Seator9(31.2 annualised c.f. 52 running) cry
10Miles Kasiri11(24 annualised c.f. 44 running) cry

N.B. This includes points scored up to the end of week 20 (including points that haven't gone on the rankings yet), so Slabba has doubled his ytd total already this week.

Good to see Slabba getting a win at challenger level and these weaker challengers are still around the level he is at for the moment, so it's encouraging to see him win (although it was a match he needed to win really)

Hopefully he can be inspired by some of the other Brits performances over the last week and take out Snobel tomorrow, but I'm not really expecting anything out of that match.

It feels great to see someone other than Boggo win a round at a Challenger. With Baker being out, it's become a rarity this year!

You were right not to, FD.  He lost 3 & 3! cry

P.S.  He & Chris Eaton also lost in the doubles, 7-5 5-7 [7-10]!  Close, but not quite close enough! cry cry

Snobel's alarmingly good record against Brits continues unfortunately:

L16: Alex Slabinsky WR 349 lost to (6) Pavel Snobel (CZE) WR 314 by 3 & 3 cry

Bah! This wasn't a bad loss especially but it's alarmimg how few matches Alex seems to win against players of his own level. Something has to change soon or else it'll be his ranking that changes in the wrong direction!

Shame..... I wanted to have that prediction turn our wrong.

Slabba needs to start winning matches against the players in the 300-400 range if he is to move up the rankings quickly, and has to take advantage of these weaker challenger events, or he'll have to find some weak 15K's to score his points from if he is going to stay at this level it seems
