Alistair Gray's win today win almost certainly make him no.19 in next week's rankings.

Who will be no.20?

paulisi · Tennis legend

Kyle is on 71pts
Harry is on 70pts
Jacob is on 50pts

This is before this week.

Kyle is playing Luxembourg, Loughborough Sunderland and has 10pts to drop at the end of the month.
Harry starts out next week at Loughborough with Sunderland to follow. He has 9pts to drop at the end of the month.
Jake is playing Luxembourg, then Loughborough followed by a torment in the US.

80/81pts is the target

Not forgetting Paul Jubb, who is playing a string of challengers and is capable of going deep, although he would have to win this week's event to achieve Top 500 in one hit.

Well this has taken an unusual turn. Oliver Crawford WR 215 has switched allegiance to GB and we will have 20 players in top 500 next week. Who saw that coming?

Bob fixed it for him! Had to go down 214 others to get him to sign up though !

I might just have a glass of ..... Orange Juice tonight, to celebrate.

It was a good battle Jaggy, but the right result in the end wink

Well what an anti climax the race to 20 in 500/ 10 in the top 250 was!

I'm not complaining wink

It's not over yet

I like to see the final ATP list

Just in case Jan has become Polish in the next few days or whatever

But, yep, it goes any which way - in fact, I rather like the slightly randomness of it

I think the fairest situation would have been Top 500 on 19 and Top 250 on 9 (trust me, I checked LOL), when the change of allegiance came into place. That way we could have called it an honourable draw.

paulisi · Tennis legend

If the top 500 is showing as completed on Monday and Arthur Fery wins a couple of challenger matches next week, then the top 250 will also be complete.

What will be the next target???

Certainly don't! 20 in the top 500 is no doubt fairly going to WIN when we see next Monday's list.

Following the 20 in the top 500 & 10 in the top 250 has been real fun over the last couple of years or so and to me doesn't lose anything by this unexpected final development. So celebration time for you!
