RE: French Open Q list contenders

Charles has added a further 6 points by reaching the SF in Wuning. Now showing as live ranked 232 on 238 points. A SF win would, as things stand now, have him at live ranked 224 ( 225 if Liam wins ) on 249 points. Might prove very useful.

Liam is a set up in Busan but play has been abandoned for the day so for now he is showing as live ranked 233 on 236 points. If he goes on to win that QF match he will add a further 19 points ( good points in a Challenger 125 ) and be up to what shows as being live ranked 219 on 255 points, i.e. just ahead of Oliver and Harry and presumably like them job then done.

I don't think this will make a huge difference but last year all eight MD wildcards came from players who otherwise would have been in qualis - i.e. 8 places in qualis were freed up

(this covers both the French wildcards, and Stan, and the US reciprocal one)

It'll probably be broadly similar this year - it's already announced that Stan is getting another one this year, as is Gael (both are in quali draw rankings, so that frees up 2 spaces)

But....Moise Kouame, for instance, has a very good chance of a MD WC - I bet he'll get one - and he's well outside quali rankings

However, he's almost certainly the only one, so it won't make a huge difference
