Quite a quiet week on the ITF circuit as it seems to be European clay courts mainly.

Oli looks like he has made a decent choice with a 15k and will be seeded - needs confidence
Liam and Luke will be seeded in the US, JWH and Toby should make the main draw. Scott and the other boys will probably have to go through qualifying
Jack's ranking is high enough now to make main draws

Over in Canada - Naomi should be seeded for a 100k, Sam is 3rd alt
Mandy will be top seed in Italy where she drops down to 10Ks presumably trying to cover some of the ranking points she has to defend

I know lots of people use live-tennis for the 'live' projected rankings for next week.

There's obviously something I'm missing:

Why isn't Dave Rice in their list for next week when he (clearly?) is going to make it to about WR280-285, about 164 points?, but they haven't included him?

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, Dave will be on 164 points next Monday when last week's futures title points get added.

I think the live ranking site can at times be a bit dodgy with regards to adding in futures points.

BeefyDeedz · Pro player

Kyle has made the Segovia MD.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Marcus now 3rd alt, Dave 4th alt - both may get in.

I know MTF has a bit of a bad reputation ( some of it deserved) but their live rankings are generally more accurate than the .eu version. MTF version has Dave Rice at #285 on 164 points. It is updated several times a day.

Just doing next week's GB women's top 25 table (early for a change!) and unfortunately there are quite a few late withdrawals

- JoKo has withdrawn from Washington Q
- Sam withdrew from Vancouver Q yesterday
- Amanda withdrew from the Italian 10K late last week
- Eden withdrew from the Indian 10K last week

Unfortunately, there are also frightening numbers of points due off on Monday week, mainly because the points for Winnipeg 25K (which is being held in mid-August this year) and Vancouver 100K, two of the most successful ITFs for GB women in 2013, are all due to come off at once. JoKo has 190 points coming off, Sam 52, Jade 32, Naomi 14 and Emily 6.

On the plus side, Jazzamay has now scraped into the main draw in Turkey.

With the greatest of respect to jazzamay, it's not much of a plus side really, when you compare it with all you've put before ! :(

I've been wondering what Eden Silva's been up to - no news - I seem to remember she had a big blister problem but that was ages ago (May ?) from recollection. I guess this might be her 'break' time as she plays a lot in winter in the warmer climes. But it seems strange not to have seen her for nearly three months . . .

Will be good to see Naomi again. Bet she's been enjoying those driving lessons and handbags :) But now time to get serious again . . .

The points, unfortunately, have been sitting there like a little black cloud on the horizon (not dissimilar, in fact, with a couple of the blokes . . ), just waiting to blow in . .

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

Eden playing County Week for Essex over at Surbiton this week.

To be honest I don't tend to update again once the deadline has passed and the multiple withdrawals have happened.

Sam and Joko are injured. Not surprised about Eden, it's a long trek on your own.

No changes to Segovia challenger lists this morning. I suspect Marcus and Dave will have to go through qualifying. If Milts wins in Ireland today, he won't make qualifying.

New list for week 33 will be updated either later tonight or tomorrow morning, but entry lists for Woking 25k look very strong.

Yes, unfortunately you couldn't see my ironic look as I wrote the 'plus' bit ...

I realise that, that's why I thought it would be worth adding the w/d details once I'd come across them. I always compile the T25 tables from the official sources (for tournaments that are on ITF - though it's more like sources with access to the official lists for the higher level tournaments) and then use the lists here as a check that I haven't inadvertently missed something.

No, I did, honest - I was trying to do a double-double irony smile

Thanks, The Opti - glad to know that Eden is well and playing . ..
