Out of the freezer ...

First week of updated WTA rankings and although all the Brits ate still on the same points and Jo, Heather and Harriet have each dropped a place from the frozen rankings, slight gains lower down our top 10 ( I don't know why, maybe other players dropping out of the rankings ) mean we are up 6 from the original 16/03 frozen rankings.

WTA - GBR at 10/08/20 = 2131

Both Jo and Heather have now lost in R1 in WTA Lexington so liable to be a slight overall fall next week as other players make gains

Re the men, still the frozen 16/03 rankings but at some stage our #10 Brydan has somehow lost 3 points ( 106 to 103 ) to drop 6 places in the frozen rankings. And so we are cumulatively down 6 from the original frozen rankings.

ATP revised - GBR at 16/03/20 = 1913

Yes, maybe just a few full updates as you say, Jon.

Because players aren't dropping points, just potentially adding points where they manage new counters, and of course there will be far less tournaments, week to week movements will be much more limited.

 I know I've done it before - it was a Pivot table - see if I can remember

 But no players will be dropping any points for the remainder of the year ( unless improved on ). So can't lose their ranking unless say voluntarily due to retirement.

 that is a pretty decent point, Indy!

Had a discussion about this with OER about a year ago - they answer questions quickly, and comprehensively. If a player stops playing the points linger on until they expire - but if they "retire" from the WTA all the points come off straight away. The "retirement" option only used to be used by top players but is now more general.

So it will depend on what players decide to do. I think there is a similar situation in the ATP.

 Thanks SB - interesting no team is on 10 players, so no one on the cusp at the moment. Kazakhstan and Mexico could of course add a player and join the happy party if they can get someone else ranked!
