I've updated the table. Alex draws level with Portas, but doesn't overtake, as Portas played both Wimbledon & Roland Garros round 1, while Alex only has his wimbly wildcard.
With very little else to think about tonight, I've been through the permutations for alex's ranking this week:
If Alex Wins the Tournament He'll advance up to 121st - up 2. Norman can overtake if he makes the QF in Shrewsbury; Hartfield or Bozoljac can overtake if they are finalists in Naples; Peya if he wins in Kawana, and Russell if he wins in Naples. A max of three can overtake, so worst case is WR 124th - down 1.
If Alex is a finalist: He'll advance up to 127th - down 4. Navarro-Pastor will overtake him if he's the other finalist in Shrewsbury; Bozoljac and Hartfield need to make the Naples semis; Peya needs the Kawana final, and Russell must win in Naples. A max of four can overtake, so worst case is 131st - down 8.
If Alex makes the semis: He'll get up to 128th. Navarro-Pastor will overtake him if he makes the quarters in Shrewsbury; Bozoljac and Hartfield need to make the Naples quarters; Peya needs the Kawana semis, Russell must be a finalist in Naples, and Berlocq must win there. A max of five can overtake, so worst case is 133rd - down 10.
If Alex makes the quarters: He'll get up to 136th. Hartfield needs to make Naples R2; Russell must be in the Naples semis, and Berlocq must win there. A max of three can overtake, so worst case is 139th - down 16.
If Alex goes out to MacPopp: He'll be at his current 139th. Russell can overtake if he makes the semis; Berlocq if he wins, so worst case is 141st - down 18.
The one constant here is Russell. The next big targets have to be Peya and Hartfield.
Get those voodoo dolls ready!
Edit: Edited after spotting Alex's extra point and after the Peya result last night.
Looks like today's the day for admitting to embarassing errors: I'd had Alex down as finishing last week on 373 points. It should have been 374 (I had him defending 6 rather than 5).
As a result, he's now on 329 rather than 328, which means he's climbed above Portas!!! and is WR 139.
The table's updated for today's Shrewsbury results: Berrer & Nav- Pas both win. neither advances.
Hartfield plays Fiorentino, Russell plays Zeballos and Berlocq plays Witten tonight in Naples. Bozoljac's match against Garcia must have already taken place.
Dont suppose it matters too much now anyway, Boggo's going to be seeded for aus open qualies isnt he, and he wont make the MD so it's pretty immaterial, shame he didnt quite nip up the Aus Open MD territory.
Still the top 100 eludes him, hopefully not for much longer.

Hmm - 32 seeds for qualifying - from around 115 to 150. Boggo's worst case for this week is around 140th. Maui, Doha & Chennai to come........ he could be knocked out of the top 150 with a batch of freak events or, better, make it into the top 16 seedings - for which he needs to make sure he's in the top 130..... still some work to do!
