Just to be pedantic, Marray is defending 360, not 760, points, I think.

I think I'm right in saying that his ATP Masters points come off this week as well

Well obviously given how near Edgbaston is to Melbourne!! I really can't see him heading off to Aus for 1 week.

Well, I'd rather spend a week playing at home if I'm just coming back to Europe from Australia. Either way, it's almost surely academical, because I don't think he is going to Melbourne.

I'm fairly sure Dan Cox will withdraw from Melbourne. There are 3 challengers in a row and he hasn't the other two. There is no way anyone would travel to the other end of the country for 1 week.

Correct

Got it. Thank you!

My personal feeling is that Marcus has already exceeded expectation this year and after a 3 week stint in the heat of Kuwait, he may be a bit drained - hence the slightly surprising result this week.

I would have no problem if he decided to take a couple of weeks off and then dive head first into pre-season training, leaving the Challengers for next year.

Milton and Pauffley have withdrawn from Edgbaston presumably to play challengers (which would put us up to 14 in challengers this week!)

Meanwhile Coxy is sticking with his Greece pick

I'm abit confused about the dubs entries above. J/J are above our other two pairings in the race and it's almost end of year, so how come they are ranked lower?

The ranking for entry purposes is obtained by adding the individual doubles rankings of the two players in the team. Colin, for example, is the top Brit in the individual doubles rankings but only about half of his points were scored with Jonny, so he and Jonny are behind Jamie and John in the Race but ahead of them when you combine the individual rankings of each player in the team.

Had Colin scored all of his points with the same player, he would easily be top 8 in the Race now. Instead, he appears 5 times in the top 100 of the Race with 5 different partners.

Thanks steven, mystery cleared up. I get very confused with seedings/entries especially around GSs where I recall the rules are different again?

Edgbaston is looking quite weak(GB wise) given all the defectors. Suprised Marcus is not having a go at challengers yet.
