Top 250 - 2015

RE: Top 250 - 2015

Now that Dan S. has stopped playing for the year, an end of year update. I have included Klein as he may well qualify(?) and the figures in brackets are how many scoring tournaments they have in their totals. James Ward therefore has only 3 more "free hits" before he can only gain by improving his lowest score.

If its top 200 I think only Liam, Brydan and Kyle have any chance of joining James. If it is top 250 as before then its more game on but, realistically only Ed Corrie looks to be in with a shout unless they come out the blocks flying as Dan S did last year.

Pts

550 - Approx Main Draw Cut

396 - James Ward (15)

245 - Approx Top 200

220- Liam Broady (13)

190 - Approx Top 250

181 - Brydan Klein (14)

178 - Kyle Edmund (9)

141 - Ed Corrie (10)

85 - Dan Cox (8)

71 - Alex Ward (6)

61 - Marcus Willis (6)

22 - Dan Smethurst (7)

18 - Dan Evans (3)

By my crude calculations if A-ward and Dan Cox can get up to 18 scoring tournaments they are averaging enough points per tournament to make top 250.

Also Evans if he is playing fit and motivated could probably be in with a shout still.

Pretty poor effort from Dan S to only score 22 points from 70 tournaments wink

Don't know what you're talking about Bob.....it dosen't say that on the original post biggrin

LouieG · County player

Any updates on this. Also does anyone know where our boys stand for the French?

Shhh · Challenger level

I was going to do an update after the Glasgow challenger and about once per month from there (theres not too much happened of significance since the last update)

LouieG · County player

Great :)

indiana · Tennis legend

And there is an equivalent women's thread ( well one post from me ) that I was intending to update around the same time.

LouieG · County player

Any updates? :)

Shhh · Challenger level

At work......tonight......promise!

Shhh · Challenger level

Updates as promised. I am not sure on the cut for the wild cards so have left both the 250 and 200 mark in. The top 3 look safe. Brydan and Ed have a chance, Dan Cox has certainly started the year well. The figures in brackets are how many scores they have towards their best 18, James Ward therefore only has one more free hit before he has to start improving on his lowest score.

The LTA have just issued a new Wimbledon wild card policy which includes the phrase "In 2015 the LTA has agreed with the AELTC Wild Card Committee that a ranking threshold will not be used as the basis for recommendation of players for Wild Cards."

So back to the bad old days then (not that they ever followed the targets to the letter even then, sometimes with good reason, sometimes not, but at least the players had something to aim at and it wasn't quite as open to favouritism as it used to be)

LouieG · County player

So how many British wildcards can we now expect?

BeefyDeedz · Pro player

I would expect two or three dependent on James' top-100 status, with Kyle and Liam getting them. If another player pushes himself through then it may be interesting.
