It took me hours to set up my sheet last week, looking up each individual on the ATP site. I do the entire top 100 too!

Yeah, same here, so that's what I have to look forward to tomorrow!!

Have a lovely holiday, I'll do double pin work in repayment of you doing the same for me!

Guys - this might help you.

Here's this week's rankings table (c)GC77.

This was prepared using the psmyth table, which seems to be pretty accurate.

As ever, please let me know if I've made mistakes, or not spotted things.

Doing the analysis is fine by me.

First of all, what on earth are Sanguinetti, Bracciali and Mayer doing in Challengers? Kohlscrieber who is BELOW all but Sanguinetti is Seeded in Kitzbuhl so it's not like they couldn't get on the entry list.

OK people to put pins in:

Andy:

Firstly, him. His neck could do with some acupuncture.

Next in line is Massu who must reach the quarters to go ahead, so get him out before then!
Next up, Malisse must reach the semis. Then Scrishaphan must reach the final. That's all the danger for Murray. With a little bit of pinwork he may be able to keep these two gained places. So get to work.

Tim and Greg:

These guys are in a bit more danger. They are the only two in their area of the rankings (of nearly 20 players) not playing. No one can overtake by winning the first round but as many as possible need to lose or both Tim and Greg could easily freefall down the rankings come Monday. Here is the list of who to target:

Florian Mayer, Nicolas Mahut, Filippo Volandri, Christophe Rochus, Paul Kohlschrieber, Andreas Seppi, Stanislas Wawrinka, Mardy Fish, Juan Monaco, Davide Sanguinetti, Boris Pashanski, Andrei Pavel.

That should do to be getting on with. Go forth and PIN!

The pessimists' post follows:

Worst case drop for Andy: 3 places to 37th (as per Imoen's post, above), ending up 1 down from last week's 36th.

Worst case drop for Tim: 13 places to 73rd, ending up 10 down from 63rd.

Worst case drop for Greg: 12 places to 81st, 11 down from 70th.
