In the net points YTD chart, Cam remains out front. Jan moves into 4th place, which is a reflection of his week-on-week rise in the WR (to a new CH). In this week's 'guest' chart Ryan currently finds himself with the dubious honour of biggest WR drop so far this year (excluding those who no longer have a rank). Of those who feature in this chart, Jay is the highest ranked player, who finds himself now down to WR 299, a fall of almost 60 places since the start of the year. Harry and Alastair who both suffered notable falls in their WRs this week, also make an appearance in this chart.
This week, Jay catapults himself up the WRs and as a result finds himself in 4th place in the net points YTD chart. Marcus and Scott continued climb up the WR also mean they make the chart, while Ben Jones for the moment misses out. Brydan currently fills the top place for biggest fall in WR YTD (at least until he losses his ranking completely). Amongst the top ranked players, Alastair currently places highest in this chart down almost 100 ranking places, placing him 5th.
Jodie continues to maintain a small lead the net point YTD chart. In terms of week-on-week, Maia, Emily and Amarni move up the WRs enough that they find themselves now amongst the Top10 of this chart. In the 'guest' chart, it is Alicia who sits at the top of biggest WR fall YTD, while in 2nd place is Talia mainly as a result of her dropping down the rankings this week. Sonay's the highest ranked player in this chart, with her drop of 25 WR places YTD placing her in 8th position.
Biggest week-on-week climber at the top end of the WRs is Lauryn and its enough to push her up to joint 3rd in the Top10 chart for net points YTD. Going in the opposite direction this week is Eliz who drops outside the Top400. She has now fallen 60 places since the start of the year, placing her in 8th place in the biggest WR drops YTD. Lily is the highest ranked player who appears in this chart, but she is beaten to 'top' place by Talia. Her fall in the rankings means she is now sits at 1431WR.
Liam finished the month, with the biggest collection of net points (+90). Jan's 3rd placing for the month (+43 points) is reflected in his new CH, while Andy's 4th place (+40) is enough to take him above Jack in the WRs for the moment. The number of players inside the Top500 stays stubbornly at 17. Amongst the 'cusp' players, Harry's WR drop means he is now outside the Top600.
Luke finishes the month as the highest net points earner (+141). Jay's +70 points gets him into 2nd place in the chart, and more importantly shoots him up the WRs to inside the Top400. Marcus continues his march up the rankings, adding another +41 net points in Feb, enough for 4th place for the month and placing him just outside the Top300.
Heather tops the net point chart for February with +65 net points. Below her, it was a close run thing between Maia (+14) and Eliz (+12). The number of players inside the Top 500 is back up to 16, although the 20th ranked player is drifting downwards.
It remains the Christie and Collins show in doubles, with Freya claiming Feb's 1st place for net points (+89) while Ali claims 2nd. Ella's 3rd place (+50 points) means she starts her doubles career with WR of 736. The number of players inside the Top500 continues to be stuck at 19.
Live rankings show Paul Jubb out of the top 250 and we fall down to 7 top 250 and 17 top 500. Many of the top 500 challengers are inactive this week and it feels like those targets are further
Off than ever right now!

I still predict that the 20 in the top 500 will finally be achieved later on this year.
So right now, Cam is miles ahead of everyone else in the net points YTD race. This reflects somewhat the lack of significant upward movement in the WR chart for the year so far (Liam & Jan excepted). In the 'reverse' chart, Dan leads for the biggest net loss of points, followed by Jack who this time last year was coming off winning multiple Challenger tournaments.
So Julian creates some space between himself and Henry in the net points YTD chart, thanks trading partners last week. Luke's recent good performance also means he climbs up to 2nd place in the chart. In the reverse chart, Neal and Joe who have lost most net points so far, but their total points are so much larger than the others, that they are still able to retain their places atop the GB rankings.
So two months in and it remains pretty tight (and low scoring) in the chart for net point gains. Jodie is our current leader, with Emma and Heather not too far behind. In the 'reverse' chart, much like Jack in the Men's singles, Sonay is suffering somewhat from the great start she had to 2022.
Freya and Ali continue to maintain their big lead of the rest of the field in the net points chart lead and they are now up to GB#3 and #4 in the WRs. In the corresponding chart for biggest net loss, its similarly close with the old hands, Tara and Heather fighting it out at the top.
