It occurs to me I have probably miscalculated regarding predicting Andys retirement from the game and his end of year ranking in 2018 as his ranking would not immediately disappear and he be considered inactive until all his ranking points have fallen off. The exception would be if he requested removal in which case he would be immediately considered inactive.

Yes, but he's actually going to have to compete and win matches to have ranking points. As of now, all his current ranking points will be gone by the end of Wimbledon.

Unfortunately ( for Andy !! ) leaving him out all together may prove better than any prediction of him in the top 10.

My BOLD prediction that Cam will be year end 30 and British number 1 is looking great.

Remind us though who you have as GB #1 in your prediction top 10 in this thread.

Interesting that Indiana apart no one trusts Kyle to get higher than around the 30s yet when you compare him to Jack Sock, who I watch a lot, he has a stronger all round game and Sock is a solid 15 (currently 8 after a surprise Paris result where Kyle had him on the ropes).Clearly we think he needs another season to toughen up mentally.

I've got Kyle at 42. Hopefully I and others have underestimated. I think the slight backward step in the rankings over last year has probably influenced folk although he undoubtably played very well at times and some have pointed to some improving areas of his game. We apparently average 35 ( ranging from 23 to 52 ) as against his current WR 50 and CH 40.

Certainly he's started the year with two very good looking wins. Very early days but good early signs.

First update (a week late as I usually do it after Miami, but was away last week).

jonH has stormed into a 7 point lead pursued by Smudge and then flamingowings and Toby tied for 3rd.

Very close at the bottom of the table - 3 points cover the last 6

With Dan Evans in most predictions and Andy hopefully coming back from injury could be lots of changes coming up.

Next update after French Open.

I can't upload the files at the moment so will check with Steven when he returns.

Current standings:

Update on the male predictions. FriendofLouieG and Stringbow both pick up a point for Dan Evans as he moves into 12th place in the GB rankings (they predicted GB no. 8), and his ranking should now start to influence the table. Also some points for James Ward now starting to appear.

I have re-inserted Status Quo after accidentally leaving them out of the last update. Only the 3 sharing equal first manage to to better then just going with the rankings as of 1st January, so perhaps next year no need to think too hard.
