2015 Female ranking predictions

Kinda hanging in there.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Sim, while looking at my truly pitiful showing (come and join us, Indy, down in the depths, then 'kinda hanging in there' would look just pearly !

) I noticed that there seems to be a mistake on the one next to me (if I'm reading it right). In the original list below, Bolt has Laura as 1 and Hev as 2. But on the actual ranking table it's the other way round - it's not consistent (I think).

Mid-table mediocrity, just the way I like it.

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

Nothing wrong with being mid-table!!

Think Korriban may have been done out of some GB points for his Katie Swan pick....

Well spotted, I do end up going abit cross-eyed when I put all the entries in, which is why I always put everyone's original entries in underneath so you can check whether any mistakes.

I will correct it later, it will mean Bolt will lose 1 point as he predicted Hev as no.2 and she is (just) no. 1.

On the positive side Laura's return to the GB top 10 gives everyone one point more than last update!!

AliBahBah's control group (everyone at WR215) has now slipped to the bottom of the table

Again correct, not sure what happened there, should give Korriban an additional 2 points as Katie is 3 off his prediction of 10.

Hi Sim, I seem to have two number 7s and no 9!

Thanks for organising this.

Corrected and the other 2 errors pointed out above.

Must be getting closer to the end of the season - everyone is looking at the table more closely!

indiana · Tennis legend

With Cav's retirement decision, which she seems very settled with ( and the points she has to drop in the next few weeks ) and Laura's more worrying season ending injury niggles, the season ending top 10 is looking pretty likely to be ( in probably not far off this order )

Jo
Heather
Naomi B
Katy D
Amanda
Emily
Tara
Harriet
Katie S
Freya

In theory both Cav and Laura ( much less likely since Katie Swan is already level with her on points ) could hang in there, but Katie and Freya have very little to add to go above them.

Fran, Anna and Mirabelle, who will be the rest of the top 15 on Monday week, are outsiders in not being too far away on points.

Last minute update with this week's rankings. Final counting is tomorrow.

Triple tie at the bottom of the table but I am not confident of closing the 3 point gap at the top.

Again I will update results tomorrow but full table will be on Thursday.

Full table is here:http://www.britishtennis.net/predictions/2015%20Female%20Ranking%20predictions.htm. As with the men the player order now follows their current GB rabking

Sim · County player

The final results are in and Forbesman maintains his lead to be the champion with a clear 3 point lead over Jon and Korriban.

The bottom of the table was alot closer with a three way tie for the wooden spoon.

I managed to drop from joint 2nd to mid table in the last week.......

Well done Forbesman and thanks to Sim for running the competition.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Hi, Sim.
The link above takes me to the Nov. 16th table, not the final one. Sorry to be a pain but is the very final one there somewhere?

Thanks again for doing all this.
