Alert, alert, I think the women's Czech figure is wrong and that they have actually overtaken the USA to become #1.
I'd suggested as such in the women's Wimbledon thread after the final after I totalled up the respective live rankings ( from the live-tennis site )
The issue appears to be with one wrong OER ( live? ) ranking - namely for their #10, Teresa Martincova.
The official WTA rankings have her as WR 106 on 656 points. Using that ranking the Czech total is 356.
Whereas OER has her as WR 122, thus giving a Czech total of 372.
During the Wimbledon fortnight she lost in Wimbledon R1 for 10 points but then qualified for and reached the SF in WTA 125 Contrexeville ( where she retired ) which should be worth 63 points. Counting 63 points then it all ties in with her WTA official ranking points I.e. 656.points.
But OER is just showing her 6 qualifying points for Contrexeville and that leads to the OER total ranking points figure, ie.613 points.
So in short I think the Czechs are #1 and Martincova's Contrexeville points on.OER seem to have caused the issue.

Many thaks for the warning - I shall check it when I've had a chance - Could be tomorrow.
Hard to know - I thought if you retired you got yhe points from the previous round - a lot of people are showing her as 106 rather than 122 so who knows?
Checked the WTA pdf and that says 106 so you could well be right - well spotted

As I said in the rankings thread, both LTR and OER live rankings differed from the official rankings for this week. OER are missing the entire main draw for Contrexeville that explains part of their error, but they also had pretty much everyone out of position even where this missing draw wouldn't have affected things (if their British women rankings are replicated to other countries).
