With Jamie Delgado having already rejoined the top 100 and Jonny Marray joining him this week ( up from WR 101 to WR 96 ), but Sarah Borwell falling out ( WR 95 to WR 113 ) :
We now have 9 top 100ers
7 of these are men's doubles players incl Andy Murray who is clearly one of the 2 non men's doubles top 100ers.
Andy Murray WR 4 ( next James Ward WR 214 )
Elena Baltacha WR 89 ( top 200ers Anne Keothavong WR 110 & Heather Watson WR 124 )
Jamie Murray WR 40
Ken Skupski WR 69
Colin Fleming WR 74
Ross Hutchins WR 80
Andy Murray WR 83
Jamie Delgado WR 85
Jonny Marray WR 96

I don't know whether this shows how little most other countries care about doubles or how much the 'typical' British game is suited to doubles - probably a fair bit of both.

Ah, that was fun having 11 top 100ers for a couple of week, but the balloons have come down now.
The points from Anne's QF singles and doubles appearances at Fes last year have come off so she is back outside the top 100 for singles - WR 107 and doubles WR - 108
Back to 9 : 1 men's singles, 1 women's singles, 7 men's doubles.
With Heather entering top 100, we have 10 again (counting AM for both singles & doubles).
MS - Andy Murray MD - Jamie Murray, Colin Flemming, Jamie Delgado, Ken Skupski, Andy Murray, Ross Hutchins & Jonny Marray WS - Elena Baltacha & Heather Watson
If Anne can pick up a win at Wimbledon then she could re-enter in either singles or doubles.
Post Wimbledon, Anne has replaced Heather ( who exited in the rankings before Wimbledon, now WR 106 ) in the top 100, and Ken has fallen out of the top 100 doubles rankings ( now also WR 106 ), so back to 9 overall
MS - Andy Murray MD - Jamie Murray, Colin Fleming, Ross Hutchins, Jamie Delgado, Jonny Marray, Andy Murray. WS - Elena Baltacha & Anne Keothavong

Ken's comings and goings continue as he reenters the top 200 at WR 94 ( up 8 ). Thornley and Rice are now our next two ranked men's doubles players, although still outside the top 200.

Heather moves into the top 100 again at WR 99 ( from WR 107 ) and Anne moves out to WR 104 ( from WR 99 ) so number and distribution of top 100 players is unchanged.
Top 100 players :

Ken Skupski drops out of the doubles top 100 ( WR 109 from WR 84 ) as last year's Marseille ATP 250 title ( with Robin Haase ) drops out. He is playing there this week ( one week later this year ) with Jamie Delgado. A repeat title would get him back into that top 100.
