Not sure much, unlike the womens I think,you dont get a load of points for winning round 1, could be wrong!!

Great start by Baker, he's by far my favourite Brit. Really want to see him soar up the rankings. :)

45 points. Will probably be enough for a moderate 20-odd place rise in the rankings (without bothering to check the current ranking point lists).

I know the women get 100 points for a R1 win. But mens points are far lower. But is it the same in the main draw?

Yes - that should see him up to between 150 and 160 depending on other results
