Don't know if anyone's interested, but here is a breakdown of the countries with players in the top 100 and how many players they have there. If anyone finds this interesting, I can maintain this as a kind of league table updated weekly....
1.nc France 13 2.nc Spain 11 3.nc Argentina 9 4.+1 USA 8 5.-1 Germany 8 6.nc Russia 7 7.nc Czech Republic 6 8.+1 Italy 5 9.-1 Belgium 4 10.nc Croatia 3 11.nc Sweden 3 12.nc Switzerland 2 13.nc Chile 2 14.nc Serbia 2 15.nc Great Britain 2 16.nc Austria 2 17.nc Thailand 2 18.nc Cyprus 1 19.nc Finland 1 20.nc Australia 1 21.nc Slovakia 1 22.nc Korea 1 23.nc Belarus 1 24.nc Peru 1 25.nc Ecuador 1 26.+1 Denmark 1 27.+1 Canada 1
Where countries are tied, rankings are decided by who has the highest ranked player. A most satisfactory result for GB, coming in at 15th place. Hopefully, Boggo can do the biz and put us in the top 10 soon!
Amer Delic rises 19 places to a career high ranking of 96 to give USA a total of 8, pushing them above Germany to No. 4 in the table
Evgueni Korolev inches into the top 100 without playing, giving Russia 7 players, however they stay in 6th.
Dick Norman drops 34 places to 124, causing Belgium to drop below Italy to No. 9
Raemon Sluiter drops 20 places to 104, causing Netherlands to drop off the table form No. 26, promoting Denmark and Canada one place each.
GB remain unchanged at No. 15

Just a thought - if someone had said a few years ago, "GB will have more players in the top 100 than Australia in 2006," everybody would have thought they were being madly over-optimistic!
