Well, seeing as there's not much else to do this week, and for the duration of the Czech Futures only, here's Josh Goodall's competitors as he aims for the UK number 5 position: watch out Bloomers!
Note: this is for week 49, as the Czech points won't turn up on his ranking until the end of next week.

.....So Josh is looking good to climb up to 231 at the moment, and would make 221, just 5 places behind Bloomers if he wins tomorrow.
Threats were: Michael Przysiezny,who lost his QF in Maui last night, and just failed to overtake Josh's old WR 246 (which he should keep on Monday) and Pablo Cuevas who's number 2 seed in Uruguay and through to the QF there. If he makes the final, Josh will only be able to make 222 if he wins the F4.
If Josh can do well next week, then he's on to overtake Bloomers. He needs to reach 2 finals, or win here and get to the semis next week to be level on points and overtake because of his two Grand Slam qualy wins.
You are a hero!! Or perhaps a glutton for punishment? I seem to remember you saying something like "Thank goodness Andy has move so far up the rankings I won't have to chase challenger scores any more....." and here you are chasing up Futures!
