Yay, Heather wining her Aus Open R1 match reminded me to do an update here. With her Hobart SF last week she leapt well back into the singles top 100, going from WR 101 to WR 75 (currently live 73 ).

Andy dropped out of the doubles top 100 last week for our first move in or out of a top 100 in 10 months. He fell from doubles WR 99 to WR 101 as others added points.
7 of our remaining 12 top 100ers are still from men's doubles.
The first change in numbers since November adds Evo to our already well populated top 100 men's doubles players. With his Miami Masters RU with Neal he shoots up 60 places to doubles WR 86. Lloyd remains just outside at WR 102.
Dan is now of course ranked in the top 100 in both singles and doubles. Jon's recently updated General Section - 'Combined World Singles and Doubles Rankings' shows how he compares with others who are in both top 100s.
Not sure exactly our #1 priority area in general but great personal achievement and well done to him - Lloyd Glasspool is a new addition to our top 100 men's doublers with his Eastbourne ATP 250 SF ( and only lost there in an 18-16 MTB to the world's current top pair in partnership with Harri Heliovaara ). He is up 5 places to a new CH 99.
In case anyone missed it we have an additional GB woman in the top 100.

From Steven's tables, there have only been 3 years since 1991 when we have ended the year with 3 women in the top 100 singles rankings - 2009, 2011 and 2016. Never more at year-end in that time.
Indeed, from other checks I did in the past, there has just been one week this century when we have had 4.

And now we're back again to two GB women in the top 100 as Jo drops a total of 245 points in respect of Indian Wells and Rabat, 2019 as the WTA clears points from 2019 WTA tournaments. She falls from WR 73 to WR 112 and so out of the top 100 for the first time since 2015.
Heather moved to the verge of the doubles top 100 when winning a round of the Adelaide WTA 500 a couple of weeks ago and in the latest rankings has now just slipped in at WR 100.
She reached R3 of the AO Open Doubles 2021 so has 240 points to defend. She has already though at least got a R1 win on the board in 2022 for 130 points.
Luke Bambridge has had big points to defend early this year. But there has been no sign of him (?) and he has dropped to doubles WR 112.
I fear we may start losing players from the men's doubles though. Ken down 30 places to 87 in the live rankings after his Acapulco points came off and Dom hasn't been seen since the AO.
Evo has massive points to drop in the next couple of months and still no sign of Bambo.
