Grosjean is up a break at 2-0 in the second set against the South african though!

Moodie can overtake greg though....i think rusedski needs a bit of lucky...his ranking is rapidly on the slide!

and if you didnt know already tim scraped through his match 6-7 6-3 7-5

As you can see, above, the table is updated. If a mod could cut & paste into the original post, I'd be most grateful.

That firm of West Coast lawyers Monaco, Moodie & Lee  advance. Monaco  knocking Greg out of the top 70 in the process.

Grosjean goes out ahead of Andy (which will mess up the ATP's blog no end)
Srichaphan goes out behind him.
....but Chela and Calleri  are both now just one win from overtaking

Kohlschreiber goes out ahead of Tim
Mahut goes out behind him.
....but Clement and Volandri are getting more out of reach.

Melzer, Shuettler and Pashanski go out behind Greg
...but Mayer, Garcia-Lopez, Moodie, Marach and Lee are a win closer to overtaking

Over to Imoen for today's strategems.....

Done already but formatting is off....can u sort....or how do I.....can I paste into word or something and format it there.....?

Drew - i fixed it. You use firefox right? I think that may be the problem because the firefox browser needs the formatting to be done in code whereas IE uses the console. Anyways the problem  has been fixed though i merged the table with the first post (that way you view the table as soon as you open the thread).

Thanks for sorting out the table!  Please feel free to delete the table on page 2!

The Revised Pessimists post:

Greg, who's already lost one place could lose a maximum of another 6 places (was 1+7 yesterday), dropping to 77th overall. 11 players in the top 100, plus a few more outside can overtake (but they would have to beat each other, so a max of 6 will).

If Tim & Andy go out in Rs 2 or 3: they get no additional points, and so:

Andy could drop a maximum of 2 places to 35th (was 4). 2 players can overtake.
Tim could drop a maximum of 6 places to 68th(was 7). 11 players can overtake (was 17).

If Tim & Andy make it to the Quarter- finals.

Andy could drop a maximum of 2 places to 35th (was 3). 2 players can overtake.
Tim would gain 3, then could lose a maximum of 5 places, to drop a maximum of 2 (was 3) to 65th. 7 can overtake (was 15).

If Tim & Andy make it to the Semi- finals

Andy could drop a maximum of 1 place to 34th. 2 players can overtake (was 3).
Tim would gain 5, then could lose a maximum of 4, to gain a min of 1 (was drop 1)to 61. 6 can overtake (was 11!).

If Tim OR Andy make it to the final (they would meet in the semis)

Andy would gain 2, then could lose a maximum of 1, to gain a min of 1 (was 0)to 32. 2 can overtake (was 4).
Tim would gain 8, then could lose a max of 4, to gain a min of 4, to 58th. 5 can overtake (was 8).

If Tim OR Andy win the tournament

Andy would gain 6, then could lose a max of 1. to gain a min of 5 (was 4), to 28th! 1 can overtake (was 2).
Tim would gain 15, then could lose a max of 1, to gain a min of 14, to 48th! 1 can overtake.

not sure what the formatting issue was, but rest assured - it always look wrong while you're editing, so I have to do a "preview" to be sure it's all lined up.  it's the

[pre] 

[/pre] tags that make it line up properly.

Also can someone change the table: Feli Lopez (just above Tim) should be down as "5W", and not "out"

- this no editing situation is going to get annoying!
