Yes it is, two Brits joining/rejoining the rankings on Monday week!
OEM mentioned Nick Lester in the Net Post last week - "One of the members of the Hertfordshire team, Nick Lester, is a 33 year old who is building a career as a commentator and broadcaster. Though he plays only part-time, he recently won an AEGON British Tour event, for which he receives a wild card into next weeks ATP Futures tournament at the National Tennis Centre at Roehampton. It will be interesting to see how a member of the Fourth Estate handles the young cream of the sport in Britain."

Laurent ROCHETTE (FRA) (1) Vs Nick LESTER (GBR) Neal SKUPSKI (GBR) Vs Alexander WARD (GBR) (7) Vishnu VARDHAN (IND) (4) Vs Jack CARPENTER (GBR) Oliver GOLDING (GBR) Vs Yuki BHAMBRI (IND) (6) Karan RASTOGI (IND) (5) Vs Baptiste BAYET (FRA) Divij SHARAN (IND) Vs Miloslav MECIR (SVK) (3) David RICE (GBR) (8) Vs Joshua MILTON (GBR) Alexander SLABINSKY (GBR) Vs Marcus WILLIS (GBR)
R1: Ed Corrie & David Rice UNR defeated James Aherne & William Aherne UNR by 1 & 2 R1: Ameer Buksh & Simon Konov UNR lost to Oliver Golding & Neal Skupski UNR by 1 & 4 (Neal following in Ken's footsteps? ) R1: Burnham Arlidge & Colin Ebelthite (AUS) WR 1704 lost to James Chaudry & George Coupland UNR by a walkover R1: Oscar Podlewski & Nikki Roenn UNR lost to (4) Maniel Bains & Marcus Willis WR 1201 by 6-7(3) 0-6 R1: Lewis Burton & George Morgan UNR lost to James Feaver & James Marsalek UNR by 6-4 4-6 [7-10]
QF: (1) Divij Sharan & Vishnu Vardhan (IND/IND) WR 673 vs Ed Corrie & David Rice UNR QF: (3) Barry King & James McGee (IRL/IRL) WR 1007 vs Oliver Golding & Neal Skupski UNR QF: James Chaudry & George Coupland UNR vs (4) Maniel Bains & Marcus Willis WR 1201 QF: Feaver & James Marsalek UNR vs (2) Ashwin Kumar & Laurent Rochette (USA/FRA) WR 849
R2: (8) David Rice WR 499 lost to Josh Milton WR 741 by 2 & 1
That last result isn't a huge shock given that Milton reached the Final last week. Mecir going out is a big shock though (sad as it is if it's an injury ), that's really opened things up for the Brits
