I was just thinking how nice it is that at the moment there seems to be a big group of British men who seem capable of mixing it at Challenger level.

Of course it's what the rankings show that counts, but I was just wondering how others would expect to see a year end top 10 if everybody was playing at a similar range of tournaments, and had injury free years?

Of course this is going to be very subjective but i'll kick off:

1) Murray - Just about sneaks gb number 1!

2) Evans - I think most would agree that after his US run, if he can maintain that level of play he is firmly British number 2.

3) J Ward - has bad luck with injuries but I think still sneaks Edmund, and is a threat in challengers.

4) K Edmund - What a great prospect.

5) A Ward  - really having a very good run of form, firmly established himself as a challenger player in my eyes

6) Boggo  - Hasn't played much of late but can still cause upsets at challenger level

7) Cox - difficult to know where to put Cox until after he has had a good go at challengers

8) Rice - seems to be consistently qualifying at challengers, hopefully he sticks at it and has a breakthrough like a-ward

9) Golding - again bad luck with injuries but I feel he is probably in limbo between futures and challengers when healthy

10) Corrie/Hewitt - similar to Rice both players seem to perform well at futures, will be fascinating to see how they get on in challengers (I'm going to ignore Hewitt's loss in qr1 this week!)
