First update of standings with some high scores.

Brittak takes the lead with a 4 point cushion over Jon in second and Status Quo in third.

As with the men tight at the bottom of the table as well 3 points covers the bottom 5.

I can't upload the complete tables at the moment, may have to wait until Steven comes back.

Thanks Sim - some pretty high scores there. Early days though ..........

indiana · Tennis legend

Most folk will have selected our current top 9.

Just then though getting them in the right order and then these pesky world rankings.

Though in this year to date traditional optimism may have paid off a fair bit, with our women at least

brittak · Satellite level

Wow some thing of beginners luck me thinks! May be I should be quitting whilst I am ahead...

Look forward to the next update.

christ · Futures level

Mid-table obscurity will do for me!

Sim · County player

Interesting times for the leading British women, and it will be intriguing to see how the predictions play out by the end of the year.

Here is an update following the French open. Brittak is still in the lead with same number of points as in April with Long time reader moving up into second., and TheTraveller2 into third place.

Helen40 has dropped to the bottom of the table, but a long way to go.

Interesting if you look at our highest 8 averaged ranked players in Sim's table on the previous page, then our current actual best 8 have a better overall average ranking just now than those season end predictions.

Shows how well our top 8, more particularly 4 to 8, have done to exceed our normal optimism. Indeed blob ( haste yea back ) was insisting we were still being far too optimistic this year.

9 & 10 are not so good but still.

Predictions - totals of best average ranked :

1-3 : 192
4-8 : 1007 ( so 1-8 : 1199 )
9-10 : 510
Total : 1709 ( overall average 170.9 )

Actual current post French Open rankings :

1-3 : 235
4-8 : 953 ( so 1-8 : 1188 )
9-10 : 759
Total : 1947 ( overall average 194.7 )

And that's just in June with those 4-8 girls having been very much on the up. May this be even more marked in a few months time.

And actually if you compare the same 5 girls ( Katie B, Gabi, Harriet, Katy D and Katie S ) the difference for them is already even more marked, given Laura rather than Harriet is part of the predictions 4-8 ).

Those 5 predicted total : 1086 ( average 217.2

Those 5 current total : 953 ( average 190.6 )

Hi Helen - these where your choices above!

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Jo Konta 9
Gaby Taylor 98
Heather Watson 122
Katie Boulter 140
Naomi Broady 145
Harriet Dart 160
Katie Swan 180
Laura Robson 202
Katy Dunne 240
Tara Moore 274

That was mine, which I found when I logged on to my laptop earlier incidentally, I never posted it. If you recall I did post that Gaby would be number 2 and that Katie B and Harriet would do well this year. So Im doing pretty well here. And on the mens Ill post as well and youll remember I expected Cam to nearly catch Kyle and predict he will pass him after Aus Open, Im not as close with the rest although expect to be with Evo.

Helen, I have not been able to upload the tables onto the Britishtennis site, hopefully Steven will be able to sort it out.

Here is a link to the files on my BTcloud - it is a bit clunky as it downloads the webpage onto our PC/device but works for me:

Thanks sim, by the looks of things Gabi and Jo are the predictions to have done me most damage, but not knowing the new bunch very well hasn't helped either.
