RE: Tim's Competitors Week 43

With all matches over for the day, the table's updated again.

All in all it's not gone too badly. Hrbaty, Ram- Ham and Calleri go out as does Massu, and Mirnyi's taken out Tursunov for Andy. The big worry is that Wawrinka will overtake if he progresses further than Tim in Basle.

Over to Bethan to let us know what all todays changes mean to Tim's ranking chances!

Well, Tim plays Wawrinka next, so it is all in his hands.

Famous last words

The table's updated following Tim's defeat. Wawrinka goes past. Tim goes out.

Acasuso and Grosjean advance ahead of Tim, Fish, Ginepri & Srichaphan advance behind.

Chela, Benneteau and Kohlscreiber go out.

Clement & Mirnyi have yet to play today

Well, now Tim has lost here's a look at what can happen to his ranking.

First off, Wawrinka and Almagro have both overtaken.

Of the threats, Melzer, Benneteau, Massu, Simon, Fish, Santoro, Ramirez Hidalgo, Mathieu, Mayer, Kohlschreiber, Becker and Mirnyi are all OUT.

Leaving, Malisse (1), Clement (3), Ginepri (3), Srichaphan (3). The number in brackets is the number of matches each player must WIN to overtake.

Of those four, Malisse and Ginepri meet next round (which we therefore want Ginepri to win) so a maximum of three more people can overtake. Leaving Tim with a best case of 38 in the rankings (rise of 1) and a worst case of 41 (drop of 2).

Not too bad really given the list of threats at the beginning of the week, get those pins out for the last few though

Always- checking the overnight scores with my first cup of coffee.......

.......on a less happy note, Xabby Malisse beat Ginepri to overtake Tim and knock him down to 39th, that's now one down on the week.

Updated for the rest of Friday's scores:

Soderling, Acasuso and Almagro go out ahead of Tim. Mirnyi goes out behind.

Wawrinka, Malisse, Clement, Srichaphan and Gicquel advance

Clement will overtake if he beats Gasquet tomorrow.

Srichaphan will need to win the Basel tournament (Federer first, then Gonzo or Wawrinka) to overtake.

Worst case is a loss of 2 more places. Go Richard!

Clement' s taken the first set from Gasquet with a double fault in the breaker!

2-2 in the second..........................

Meanwhile, Srichaphan is out, having taken Fed to three sets, Malisse and Wawrinka are also out, while Gicquel is positioning himself well to overtake with a run at Paris next week.

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Gasquet beat Clement, leaving Tim safe for this week, but getting uncomfortably close to Andy.

RobC · All-time great

So just the Gicquel result to watch tomorrow. (table updated)

RobC · All-time great

Final update: Gicquel went out.
