To be fair to Vandenburg ( did I just say that ? smile ) most folk are rather closer with their ranking prediction for Dan to Vanderburg's figure than your own.

Dan seems to be the Cav amongst the men, i.e. producing very different estimates, which is probably not surprising because he is I think a bit of an enigma ( edit : though actually Ward's and to a lesser extent Baker's estimates are pretty variable too ).

Let's just see how things pan out, though I am sure most of us would be delighted if you were at all close to the mark here.

i was just working on the assumption with Dan that he will become more consistent next season. He has competed with (and beaten) 150+ players this season, if he does that next year and makes the latter stages of Challengers on a regular basis i don't see why he can't make it close to the top 100 mark

depends if he keeps away from them nights out in watford with david rice

I think people are underestimating Marray's ability, he is the purest volleyer we have and has no major weaknesses unlike some of our other doubles specialists.

I would hope Flemski push into the top 20 and challenge for a place at the WTF. I think Hutchins will stay around the same ranking while Murray and Marray push on near the top 50.

I think Evans will continue his inconsistent ways but get himself into the top 200. Boggo will finish around the 150 mark again but Ward will struggle on his return from illness and will drop out of the top 300.

Baker will push up close to the top 150 by summer and maintain that position until the end of the year.

Baltacha will mix first round losses with long runs and a couple of Grand Slam wins and end the year as the British number one. Keothavong will suffer in the inevitable drop in ranking but will push on in the second half of the year and finish around 75.

O'Brien will go through long periods without a win but a couple of Grand Slam wins will keep her place in the top 100.

Borwell will reach her first couple of tour finals and win at least one Grand Slam match but will still finish the year outside the top 50.

Elsewhere Broady will push up to around the top 150 along with Cavaday, and Stoop will get back into the top 200.

Watson and Robson will reach the 200-250 mark ready for their big push in 2011.

Curtis and Rae will make no big gains but will both finish the year in the top 300.

The men's side will continue to suffer though with only Goodall the only other player looking capable of breaking the top 300.
