Jack F-H is actually ranked 916 in doubles this week.
Sodding incompetent ITF site!
I agree. In this age of mega high-tech, the fact that the ITF site doesn't synch to the new rankings immediately is just ridiculous (what are they doing? checking each one individually by hand?)
Yes a decent set of results so far this week for the Futures guys. Hopefully they can convert the promising starts to the week into something really good points wise!
All about the points for the 800+ players. Don't forget the US college boys & girls should be back for grass court season and Wimbledon playoffs and the cut off could be 1000?

Difficult to say at this stage but could be a bit higher play-off direct entry than WR 1000, for the men anyway.
Just say 3 Wimbledon direct MD entries plus an initial total of 8 WCs ( MD + WC ).
Then the normal 10 direct play-off entries would take us to 21 players. Currently to Finn WR 926 and we have a further 4 in the top 1000.
Now that will shift a bit, maybe up or down with general rankings movement. Maybe one or two will be unfit and will say Oli take up a direct play-off entry? And I guess we could have someone from outside the top group getting a Wimbledon Q WC, say Aidan McHugh. Evo is a bit of a general WC on his own in the overall mix.
So top 1000 at least does seem a decent starting aim.
Then again some would say there is far too much obsession about Wimbledon in any event But just considering the question.
