One in, one out. Liam's sortie into the top-100 was short-lived but let's hope he's back in soon.
But Jack Draper picks up the baton.
Meanwhile, Arthur is getting close to the top-300 and Giles is back in the top-500

Also there are a lot of players around Liam that are dropping points this week, and he's only got 9 points to defend until the end of the year (15 dropping plus 6 replacing them), so he's got a good chance of getting back in the top 100.
THe big news is (a) we've got five blokes in the top-100 ; (b) Billy and Arthur are closing in on the top-250, with excellent new CHs, (c) our 17 year-olds had a blast of a week with Henry into the top-1000 and new CHs for Zach and Phoenix, but (d) Giles and Ali have dropped out of the top-500

A few of us have been going back and forth on this on Twitter and we believe this is the first time there have been 5 British players in the ATP singles rankings for 45 years, since 16 January 1978, when if you look at the ATP history, there appear to have been six but one of the 'British' players on the list, Colin Dowdeswell, was still playing or Switzerland at the time.

I hope Dan has a decent few final weeks of the season and can keep a seeding for the AO. Ditto , Cam re top 16 and Andy to try and get through the seeding barrier. And Jack and Liam to avoid losing direct entry to AO. despite being the knocking of the season , could be an important few weeks for our top 100 men.
knockings - as in back end of the season. Shortened version of the last knockings https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/last-knockings#:~:text=informal,knockings%20of%20his%20football%20career
An update on our current doubles position - nothing major been happening recently at the top end but, with the local events, there's been some important rises over the past few weeks, and new entrants, which is always nice to see.
Special shout out to Stefan Cooper, who's quite a funny guy, although prone to OTT rants (which is partly why he makes me laugh) - he's 27 and finally got a doubles ranking
