GB rankings moves in 2008 (men)
Permalink  

Some of you who use the main stats page at http://www.britishtennis.net/stats.html to access the GB Top 25 tables will have noticed that all the links at the bottom of that page haven't been updated for a long time.

Now that we are properly in the off-season, I am going to update most of these pages and (perhaps more importantly) change the way they are created so that it takes little more than pasting in the up to date GB rankings list from the ATP site to update them, hence allowing me to update them a lot more often.

The first table to get this treatment is the "British MEN - movers, new entrants & leavers in 2008" table (the links will move up into the top "Up to date tables" section of the stats page as they get done), which uses my % moved method to order the players (the same one that Peter has since started using for the women) and now incorporates his excellent enhancement, whereby players unranked at either end of the date range get assigned a ranking equal to the number of ranked players +1 so that %s can be calculated for them too. 

Given how many of the players currently on the top 25 table have moved up this year, you might be surprised to see that there have been more negative movements than positive movements overall. In fact, the up:down ratio of those players who have been in the rankings throughout (+ Jonny Marray, who dropped out at one point in 2008 but has since got back in) is 19:17 - the overall negative is caused by us losing 21 ranked men and only gaining 14. 

I'll paste the current table here (in bits so that I can keep it formatted without going over post size limits) in case anyone wants to discuss the movements ... however, please note that Slabba in particular will drop down a fair bit by the year end because he has 35 points to defend in December.

Unsurprisingly, players like Fleming and Marray who have come back after being out for a long-time though choice or injury figure near the top of the table, but if this method is any good, it should reflect our subjective feel for how the year has gone reasonably well and I don't think it's too surprising to see that Muzza has made the best % improvement, even from such a high base, or that Evo, Arlidge and Wardy all make the top 6! smile

BRITISH MEN - MOVERS DURING 2008
Last update - as at24 November 2008
+50% means that a player has climbed 50% of the way between
their year-end 2007 ranking and no. 1, e.g. from 201 to 101.
-50% means that the distance between the player's ranking and
no. 1 has increased by 50% since end-2007, e.g. from 101 to 151.
For the purposes of working out the %s, an unranked player is given
a ranking equal to the number of ranked players at the time plus 1.
SUMMARY
72TOTAL players in this list
51TOTAL ranked now
58TOTAL ranked at the end of last year

The version  on the site has now been updated with the 1 Dec official rankings.

The GB men who have been on the rankings all year are now 20-16 from 19-17 smile.gif (Brassington now +18% from -0% last week, Boggo +1% from unchanged, Bains now -0.4% from +3%), but Benjamin George Levi dropping off the rankings means a net loss of 8 GB men from the rankings so far this year. cry

I think a positive year all in all because many of the rankings lost are due to retirements rather than poor play.

There aren't many who have slipped down the rankings and played a full calendar.

Great stats Steven

If you put Steven's table in order (top 1000 only).  And grey out the retired (or those seemingly retired).
It's only Jamie B who's gone down significantly, and he's got a pretty darn good excuse!
So I would say it's been a really good year. smile

the blue certainly out weighs the red :)
does that include all of the points slabba still has?

its amazing that boggo has stayed level considering 75% of his year was pretty dire.

I think it's a bit dodgy to assume virtually everyone whose ranking has gone down can be ignored LOL but as I said on another site when I posted these details (I thought I'd mentioned it here too, but clearly not) and as your re-jigged version of the table shows very clearly, it's in the top half of the rankings where most of the positive moves have come, which is exactly what we want. smile.gif

Also, the overall figures may look worse than they actually are simply because ties are now split based on number of tournaments played instead of number of scoring tournaments. This means, for example, that those with 1 ranking point are spread right down the 1400+-1900+ range now instead of all being ranked 1479= as they were at the end of 2007.
