While involved in these epic Olympic doubles matches with Andy last week, Dan was dropping a little matter of 500 singles ranking points from his ATP Washington title last year and drops from WR 58 to WR 176.

Oh ouch. We knew it was coming but hard to actually see it in reality!

It's probably not the most pressing of issues in the men's game at the moment, given Jack's excellent win today, but Billy currently sits at WR 101 in the live rankings.

Marcus's ranking points total unchanged but he drops 3 places to doubles WR 103.

Were actually sitting back at a live 18 top 100 as I write with Sam Murray in at 96 live and Marcus Willis sitting on 100. Billy is also at 101 although clearly cant improve this week.

So we may get a little boost for next weeks update

Sonay??

Have gone back up to 18 in total. Marcus didn't quite make it as he ended up as WR 101 but of course Sonay ultimately blasted in.

Sonay's WTA 250 title see her up 55 places to singles WR 96. Sam's WTA 500 SF sees her up 25 places to doubles WR 91.

As said, Marcus is doubles WR 101. Billy is singles WR 102.

I think seeing the split of 9 men and 9 women taking those 18 places is the big thing here, that profile is quite different to most past weeks or months

20 would be very impressive and there are a few more knocking on the door as well.
Jake Fearnley, Emily Appleton etc

Marcus slips back into the doubles top 100 ( up 1 place to WR 100 ) but Sonay has gone into decline ( down 5 places to singles WR 101 as her last points drop for the year come off.

With the belated ATP 30/09 rankings update ( no WTA update though no British woman would drop out of the top 100 even if there was one ) we have a thread record 19 top 100ers.

Jake up 28 places to singles WR 98 !

19 at 30.09.24 ( 3 MS, 8 MD, 3 WS, 5 WD )

If the 19 can stay in the top 100 ( apart from the newly arrived Jake, Marcus at doubles WR 99 and out at the QF stage this week is the least solid ) then it is hopefully only a matter of time before Sonay ( no more points to come off this year ) gets back into the singles top 100 - and we'd be at 20!

Yay

We have 20 top 100ers for the first time since this thread started, with 9 in September 2009 - which at that time was suggested as at least our best in a long time.

Sonay's Shrewsbury W100 title sees her back into the singles top 100, up 10 places to WR 92, with no points due off until the end of January.

Marvellous! Possibly a bigger milestone than the mens we followed last year!
