Ranking progress of the top Brits in 2006

RE: The battle to be British number one 2006

Andymonium · Satellite level

my vote would be for Arvind Parmar ......haha

czielinski · Newbie

By my calculations, Andy is already UK no 2. As of right now (pre Soderling in Memphis), and unless I have something wrong, the ATP Entry Ranking point tally should be as follows:

1. Rusdeski 825 (gaining 25 points at Rotterdam over last week)

2. Murray 823 (gaining 60 points at Memphis so far)

3. Henman 780 (discarding 35 points since he reached the Rotterdam quarters last year)

So Andy is currently UK No 2. Since Henman and Rusdeski are both out of the Rotterdam tournament, their totals will not change any more this week. If Andy beats Soderling today (and remember, he beat him last week on the way to his win in San Jose), he will move up to 873 points, becoming British No 1. Wouldn't it be ironic if, in the week that Rusedski finally achieves his lifelong ambition to overtake Henman, he still doesn't make it to No 1 as Murray overtakes both of them...

Cheers,

Ziggy

According to the official website of ATP, Murray is already confirmed to be the British No.1 due next week when the rankings publish

You've got the gaining points bit right but unfortunately all three also lose points, see the 'Andy's competitors' thread for detail as I can't be bothered to write it out again! Henman now has 765 points, British number 3 Rusedski has 805, British number 2 and Murray has at least 816, British number 1. I agree it's ironic and also slightly sad that Greg overtakes Henman but isn't number 1, it means more to him than to Murray I think but I'm sure he'll be gracious about it.

Update:

It's Monday 27th of February and for the first time Andy Murray is British number 1. Just.

On the downside Tim Henman's ranked has slipped again. His form aggainst Thomas Johanson was good, hopefully he can keep that up and stage a fight back in the next few weeks.

Mad wrote in the other thread :

Tim Henman's win over Stepanek brings him up to 815 points, I think, just 1 point behind Andy, so will take back the Brit no 1 if he beats Nadal. . .

Mmm. Tough task there.

I have updated the graph to the 17th of April.

Andy is just about holing onto the British number one spot and Tim Henman really needs some points to turn his season arround.

nads · Junior player

I am confused by the graph, it looks on that like Greg was no 1 for a short period before Andy took over. but as I recall, Tim's downfall and Andy's rise were simultaneous, and Andy went from 3 to 1, Tim from 1 to 3, and Greg stayed at 2 all the time, until last week that is. Is this just the graph software not being particularly precise, or...?

Count Zero · Tennis legend

ithink its the graph software as its just join the dots really from each week-end so in the week andy came up greg stayed level, so andy line passes through gregs during the week, so its the end points to look at.

Niall · Pro player

I'm sorry about the confusion. The lines connecting the points are 'virtual rankings'. In normal circumstances they add a sense of movement to the raw data but in this case it is a little misleading.

For clarity this graph is just the ranking position each week.

Graph update is due, he is no 1 again

Niall · Pro player

You are just a bit to quick for me nads, I've updated the graph so that Andy is back at number one. I know I said this the last time but this time I really think Andy could hold onto the position for many years to come.

Gregg has got a lot of points to defend in the coming weeks and is struggling with injury. Tim has been playing well but can't catch a break, sadly I think the only chance they have of making a comeback is for Andy to stay coachless and slip back. Here's hoping that Brad Gilbert signs a five year contract shortly.
