6. Sam Murray - 200
7. Lisa Whybourn - 240

9. Katy Dunne - 280
10. Anna Smith - 300

I was tempted to put at least one of Katie Boulter and Freya Christie in the GB top 10 but in the end I assumed they will continue to play quite a number of junior events so won't end up in the top 300 next year, though I'd be happy for them to prove me wrong

Lisa is the hardest one to predict - when you think how well she has played with a dodgy shoulder, she must have the potential to rise quite a lot higher if she comes back with her shoulder sorted out, but it seems like she will miss at least the first couple of months, so it won't be easy to make a big breakthrough before the end of 2014. If she is in the top 250 by the end of the year, I'd give her a good chance of making a significant leap in 2015.

I have done the female prediction tables as well now and will post the full table later.

Reeltime you have 2 Lisa's in your top 10. Unless you are predicting a huge surge from an unknown Lisa you may want to change one!

Only 12 players selected throughout, and those are the current GB top 12 and one, E W-S, was only chosen once.

Everyone has the same GB top 4, but not in the same order and Tara was no.4 for everyone's prediction

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Sim Tara was my 5th choice I think Naomi will pass her especially as she has fewer points in the first few months of the year to defend than Tara

Sorry Jaggy, I got a bit cross-eyed looking at all the numbers. I did put yours down correctly.

You are the only one who didn't have Tara as no.4

Sim · County player

Full table is now published here: http://www.britishtennis.net/predictions/2014%20Female%20Ranking%20predictions.htm

I have put your original entries in so please check that I have entered everything in OK as I may have made a mistake somewhere. Ended up getting abit cross-eyed.

Scroll over to the right to see your entry.

Reeltime you still need to resolve your 2 Lisas - you only have 9 entries at the moment

I will update table every 2 months or so

I'm pretty sure I forecast Laura significantly below your low ranking number of 64 - in the mid 80s I recall. I believe this will be another year of big shock wins and horror losses, with more coaching changes, more niggling injuries and health dramas, and the inevitable debates in the press.
