After all that, Sela won his semi-final against Gombos anyway, so James will stay at WR 102 unless I have missed something. The live rankings site that had 'lost' Dustin Brown now agrees with that, having since 'found' him again.

However, I see Ito, only one place and one point behind, is playing the Toyota Challenger next week. Also, Berankis, 9 points behind, and Dzumhur, 18 points behind, are both playing Andria next week.
Looks like James has no chance of making the main draw before pull-outs (would have to be top 103 at least for that allowing for JMdP). Ito and Berankis need just one more win to overhaul him.
However would have to be very unlucky not to get in as an alternate (average cut off about 107-108 over last few years).
