I must admit the news Andy won't play in the Aus Open has had me take him down from my earlier more optimistic prediction. It's clear much of his old ability is still there, but less clear how much he will actually end up being able to play this year. Nevertheless he is still our best male player by far...
1 Andy Murray 20 2 Daniel Evans 24 3 Kyle Edmund 32 4 Cameron Norrie 56 5 Jay Clarke 166 6 Jack Draper 186 7 Ryan Peniston 233 8 Liam Broady 292 9 Jan Choinski 302 10 Paul Jubb 320
Peniston at 233, what are you on? He wont even make ITF 230.
As good a chance as Jack Draper at 115 and Aidan McHugh at 310 this year
I have entered all the data up to here, so if anyone wants to change their picks, please DON'T edit your previous post now, but repost your whole selection, saying that it is a revision. If we can make a final deadline of this Friday, January 3rd for entries, that will give me time to finish entering the data and checking over the weekend before the tour events start again on Monday 6th. I'll post the spreadsheet once I hear from Sim - haven't got access to the website myself.

select 10 players you can get up-to 10 points per player split between GB ranking and world ranking:
GB scores
5 points for a correct prediction, 4 for one out, 3 for 2 out, 2 for 3 out, 1 for 4 out or more than 4 out and player finishes in GB top 10. Note you can get points if a player finishes as low as GB14 e.g. You predict 10 they finish 14 difference is 4 so 1 point.
World ranking. 5 points if your prediction is within 5%, 4 if +/- 10%, 3 if +/- 15%, 2 if +/- 20% and 1 if +/- 25%
Reason why world ranking points is on % is that there is a big spread of rankings for GB top 10, so tries to even it out.
normal close date is Dec 31st and competition finishes the Monday after ATP finals"
As the addict says, for this year with tour events not starting until next week, entry closing date has been set as Friday Jan 3rd.
