Yes, the extra net 2 points Lissey added in partnership with Sam last week was enough to sneak her into the top 100.

Hopefully she can stay there for the foreseeable and her regular partner Olivia (WR 109) can join her there soon.

It would be nice to see this go up over the grass (rainy) season - Jack d in mens singles, heather and Harriet in womens singles, Liv in womens doubles, not too sure though re mens doubles. A couple of those breaking the top 100 would be good.

I've noticed there are a lot of people dropping significant points this week, both in the 1-100 and 101-200 ranks. Anyone who isn't defending many points and can do well in the next couple of weeks could move up the rankings quite nicely. Jay and Ryan are in that category, although well outside the top 100 atm.

As Jon was saying anyone who isn't defending many points could do well in the rankings around this time.

And Jack Draper (- 3 points) has risen 7 places in the singles rankings to WR 99. Great to have another singles player in the top 100 and at just 20 yo.

At the same time Alicia Barnett's ranking points haven't changed but she has dropped 2 places to be for now out of the top 100 at WR 102.

Presumably Jack could well drop again next week as he was a quarter finalist last year in queens ?

Since the start of 2017, there have been two or three Brits in the ATP singles top 100, a varying combination of:

Andy: up to 28 May 2018 then 2 Feb 2022 onwards
Dan: up to 28 Aug 2017 then 4 Mar 2019 onwards
Kyle: up to 2 Aug 2021
Cam: 28 May 2018 onwards

(N.B. end dates are the last Monday they were still ranked in the top 100, though they would effectively have dropped out a week or two later)

However, due to injuries for Andy and Kyle, Dan's ban and Cameron first making the top 100 when Dan was still out, and just as Andy was about to drop out, then Kyle dropping out before Andy got back in, there was no point at which all four of them were in the top 100 simultaneously.

So I'm almost certain that Jack joining the top 100 today makes this the first time GB has had four players in the ATP singles top 100 for 43 years, since early 1979! (when the four were Buster Mottram, John Lloyd, Colin Dowdeswell and Mark Cox)

And Colin Dowdeswell came to Britain via Rhodesia / Zimbabwe and Switzerland as he added to his passport Collection. And Buster Mottram with National Front leanings subsequently.

Yes, and quite apart from that, it's a much bigger achievement these days - one measure of the increase in global competition since then is that in late February 1979, there were 8 Americans in the top 10 (with Connors top and the two non-Americans, Borg and Vilas, in 2nd and 3rd), whereas now there are players from 8 different nations in the top 10 and no country has more than two players there.

As we were 2 weeks ago.

Alicia Barnett pops back into the doubles top 100, back up 2 to WR 100. But Jack Draper falls out of the singles top 100 for now as his Queen's 45 points replace last year's 90 points. He is down 9 places to WR 108

After very good Eastbourne weeks, Jack and Harriet both reenter the singles top 100s, Jack up 14 and Harriet up 9, both to CH 94.

Alicia drops points and falls back out of the doubles top 100, down 7 to WR 107.

Though her own points didn't change, due to other falls Alicia is back into the top 100, up 9 to WR 98. Her regular doubles partnering, Olivia is up to WR 101. Both are up to CHs.

Lissey and Olivia's Polish W100 title has seen them rise to CHs of WR 87 and WR 90 respectively with Olivia into the top 100 for the first time.

Sorry for being slow but what do the numbers/initials mean?

Ha, sorry I guess I once said what I meant but now just routinely use the same format for each change.

We have 15 players in total in world ranking top 100s at 08.08 22, made up of 4 in the men's singles top 100, 5 in men's doubles, 2 in women's singles, and now 4 in women's doubles.
