Not quite sure how someone gaining 30 spots is mover of the week over someone gaining 42 or 260 spots but hey, ho, it seems it takes an awful lot for some people to gain recognition for their success.

Steveg bases mover of the week on points gained or lost.

Indeed he does. The previous week's mover of the week, after Wimbledon, was Rafa, whose position in the rankings didn't errr move.

ITF says his CH was 141 on 20 Feb 1989 but I've just checked the ATP site and that says it was 80 on 13 Jun 1988. I did have a sneaky feeling he'd been top 100, but ITF is usually very reliable.

i didnt say anything at the time, but i was sure i'd seen recently you say Castle made 80, but that 80 then wasn't as good as 80 now due to strength in depth.

still i thought 'steven is usually very reliable'

thats big mover is really silly when done on ranking points.

edit: and rafa should have been mover of the fortnight of course.

Well done to Bloomers on reaching the semis of the premier grass tourney of the world. Loved the tennis from here and I just wish Wimbledon would have fast courts like these.
