One great thing is the threads appear to remain in perpetuity we will be judged!

I think an interesting sub-question is if you include re-entries in to the top 100, and add Naomi and Laura R to the list: does that change the selection for anybody?
It doesn't for me.

Certainly think that Naomi, who generally starts every week with a chance to re-enter the top 100 is the most likely to do so first.

I'd be delighted, but surprised, if HD, FC, or KD made the top 100. I think that KS and KB are more likely to get there; and Maia,Gabi and JAB may prove to have better all-round games than all of the players on the list.

EA should be delighted that I think she has no chance at all - so, given my past prediction success rate, she's a dead cert.

Speaking of Gabby.

Where is she? Haven't seen her in a draw for a while.

Week 47. Shark el Sheikh. Gabby Taylor. Top seed.

Not necessarily top seed. She is the highest ranked entry from 6 weeks ago.

They're gonna need a bigger court.

I voted Katie Boulter from this list, as I doubt any of the others will make top 100 (hope I'm wrong). However, if she's fully fit and back playing regularly I would back Gabby to be the first. I watched her play qualies at Roehampton in 2016 before that horrible poisoning incident and she was sensational, so it was devastating to see her out for so long that dreadful illness, and she still seems to be struggling to get back to where she was before. However, I'm excited to see she's back playing in a couple of weeks and can't wait to see how she performs. Also think Maia has the tenacity to get to the top, and maybe Fran although it's early days for her.

I do hope Gabi returns as pencilled in.
If she is actually fit, even if not at peak form, she might quickly amass some points against other players running on the fumes of a long hard seasons slog.

At the expense of Jodie and Freya who are out there for a couple of weeks......
