A number of substitutions have led to some changes in the table, plus movements in the actual rankings since last week.

out of interest, TA, As you were features highly in both tables - is that normal from past years and does it signify not as much overall change (perhaps it is still relatively early season wise?)

PS did As you were get to make a sub as well ? Hahaha

As You Were finished on 61 points in 2020, 35 points on 2021 and 42 points in 2022 (if I'm looking at the right spreadsheets - I have each update saved separately). So no pattern emerging yet and possibly afected by the retirement of Jo Konta and the rise and fall of Emma.

And no, As You Were doesn't qualify for a sub of course !

Strongbow · All-time great

I'd like to use Fran as sub for Katy D - I don't think Katy will be able to catch up this year -maybe next year.

Many apologies to Katy D who has been storming up the rankings since I subbed her - well done indeed. Just shoes how wrong you can be. disbelief

Yes good to see Katy doing well. I subbed her in for Maia.

But it was ( and remains ) most certainly understandable to bring Fran in as she unfortunately looks rather stuck for now. No points to drop for the rest of this year and not adding points just now. Currently GB #10, WR 306, so likely to provide you with good points - though be great if she got back and started adding again.

Yes, I have you with 8 ponts for Fran (5 for GB and 3 for WR). Super sub !

Katy would be 0 points if you had kept her.

Some big changes this month mainly due to the top women performing better and being ranked higher than many of us predicted.Katie B making the top 50 has taken away points from pretty well everyone.

Our top ranked women have got themselves totally mixed up

I reckon that I'd be doing not bad at all with my top 7 in totally the opposite way round!

Seagull taking control here! Flying away from us all!

I make it that you would have 43 points, assuming your ranking predictions didn't change.

Ha thanks, even better than I thought. I'll maybe try next year thinking about the order and then turning it upside down.

Just noted that Joanna Garland has just won the W25 event in Japan

But still no sign of her switiching to GB

so what's the use of that, Jo, how's that going to help me????
