The one good thing about how rubbish this week has been around the world is that it's reminded me how often GB used to have weeks like this and how much rarer they have been recently.

Lisa's had alot of tonsilitus recently ( seems to be an epidemic within the British ladies at the moment ) and of course it's Lucy's first tournament back after injury so expectations were low.

The other good thing about how rubbish this week has been is that next week ( the week that will count for this week's men's futures and wonen's 10Ks and 25ks ) among top 25 ( non retired ) players they are in total effectively defending 1 whole point ( that from Dan Smethurst who has already defended it plus Richard has added 3 and George 1 in Croatia with next weeks challengers still to hopefully add. And indeed Mr Murray !
So maybe we are just generally crap this week of the year
Will make overall ranking progress this ranking week with last week's futures finals and again next week in spite of all the disappointments.
