Here was mine that wasnt uploaded.

Andy Murray 9
Kyle Edmund 28
Cameron Norrie 44
Jay Clarke 116
Dan Evans 200
Liam Broady 220
Alex Ward 225
James Ward 230
Ed Corrie 300
Luke Johnson 480

I was predicting better things for Luke Johnson and Cam would be catching Kyle (and wil after Aus Open). Andy Ive got wrong and probably Jay and Alex Ward as well.

JonH · All-time great

Is it too late to change my choices. I'd like to bring djokovic into mine if that's OK

Vandy looking horribly close to the top smile disbelief smile

For me, absolutely thrilled that there has been a late rush up the tables.

But a lot of those points are from Alex Ward and he has zillions coming off in the next few months, so if he's not playing at all now he's retired, I'm still basically skuppered.....

My other big counter is Liam but I'm hoping he has a run and proves my rather negative prediction wrong by the end of the year.

The only potential ace up my sleeve is Evo who is now moving nicely into positive territory and could go even better.

But whatever, I'll take it.....

I reckon Alex could still be GB #8 by close of play, so you could still have a maximum 5 GB points with him ( anyway I am sure he will still be top 10, apologies to pursuers ) though yes his WR will take a hit.

You might have to face up to doing pretty well

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Nice of you Indy but there's a max of 10 points, isn't there, with 5 for the place and 5 for the ranking? And the ranking points are going south BIG time.

So it's no good - you can't cheer me up about it !

Ward, yeah I meant James Ward !! Ive had a shocker leaving him out and having Corrie and Alex in there.

christ · Futures level

Strewth. I'm getting a nosebleed from being so high. Are we sure that the counting is correct?

Question: Why is Cameron Norrie "CM"?

Just looking at the points the players beyond the top 6 have guaranteed themselves for 19/11, ie points earned so far less points due to come off in that final competition month, we have for the GB rankings guaranteed minimum points :

7. Broady 134

8. Draper 88
9. A Ward 87
10. Glasspool 82
11. Hoyt 78

12. Whitehouse 51
13. J Gray 42
14. Pauffley 35
15. Klein 33
16. McHugh 33
17. Peniston 32

18. Harris 32

So Liam looking safe for top 7, maybe he can yet chase down #6 Andy's 200 points. Then a close competition for the latter places in the top 10 with some unexpected names in there. And yes, CD, Alex won't be adding any points so it's how high a place can he maintain, particularly from Lloyd and Evan. The current last few shown could add vital points if inside 5 places of a top 10 prediction.

And so to those final weeks ...

JonH · All-time great

Out of interest did anyone predict draper inside the top ten or for that matter have Evan Hoyt or mark Whitehouse on their lists?

OK I will add today's standings as Status Quo.
Here are some stats from the entries showing no.of picks for each player, average WR prediction, highest and lowest picks and change from today's ranking for average.
Note the average is that of those who picked that player, so would be lower ranking for every player with less than 37 picks if everyone had predicted for every player. Toby is the one who predicts Andy will not be in GB top 10 (retired).
Marcus Willis at GB14 is the highest ranked player not to be picked by anyone.
So except Evo who is a special case every player is predicted to improve.....

Here is a Sim post from the competition start giving the number of picks. So evidently 0 picks for Jack, Evan or Mark.
