So, I think there's a one/third chance Andy is in the top 50, one/third he's about 250 (from playing only part of the year) and one/third that he's barely ranked (due to injury).
Absolutely no idea which it will be.
So wherever I put him there's more chance of being wrong than right.
So I've decided to leave him out, which at least gives room for someone else.

Kyle 26
Dan 45
Cam 49

Jan C 210
James Ward 225
Jack D 280

Ha CD, the feartie route with Andy and / or on a mission

Done it myself with Laura a few years ago when I thought the odds were that she'd be GB top 10 ranked but I hadn't a scooby as to about where she'd be, GB or world, so given the way to win is to have a vague scooby as to your selected players' rankings or pretend to have, I just left her out totally.

brittak · Satellite level

Difficult to see too much in the way of change in the coming year but:-

1. Edmund 30
2. Evans 38
3. Murray 40
4. Norrie 52
5. Clarke 137
6. Draper 207
7. Choinski 237
8. Broady 252
9. Jubb 299
10. Hoyt 331

For what its worth Matusevic would be my next pick.

Good luck to all our players!

Well the thing is with Andy... he is a very good player!!! His current ranking of 129 is achieved with only 6 ranking scores (he has just lost 20 pts this week), and his 250 points for the Antwerp win only come off in late October. In short, he won't have to play very much to maintain a reasonable ranking... I think the main question is whether he keeps playing this year or decides to retire at some point. For the time being, it's clear he will give it a go... and I'm sure he will not contemplate anything else before the grass season is over.

As per Sim post last year :

"Point scoring summary

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.

I meant to say thanks for this but was having phone issues. Thanks Indy!!

SuperT · Futures qualifying

I've left this until the last minute again, but here goes.

1. Kyle 35
2. Dan 38

5. Jay 135
6. Jack 198
7. Jan C 230

If I could have an 11th as a joker it would have to be be Paul Jubb. I'd like to include him in my 10 but I'm not convinced he'll play sufficient tournaments this season to feature.

Good luck everyone and I hope the most optimistic selection wins!!
