Well, it looks like evryone who's anyone around Tim is playing this week: 12 players from Rochus down to Wawrinka could overtake him


On the plus side, Tim gains two places as the week begins when Rochus & Wawrinka's week 2 points from last year drop off. He starts the week up 2 at 36.


No- one can overtake by reaching round 2


Wawrinka and Vliegen need to reach the Auckland QF to overtake. They are scheduled to meet in R2.


Rochus (in Auckland) and Melzer (in Sydney)  need to reach the semis to overtake.


Massu(Auckland), Clement and Volandri(both Sydney) need to reach the finals.


Fish and Simon(Auckland) and Moya, Lee, Santoro and Mathieu(Sydney)  need to win their tournaments.


Of these 13, a max of six can actually overtake.


So worst case is WR42 (down 4). Best case is WR 36 (Up 2)


 


Tonight has Lee playing Tursunov and Volandri playing Becker in Sydney, and Vliegen playing Tipsarevic, Rochus playing Nieminen, and Simon playing Bracciali in Auckland.


Pins in please!


 Edit: Added Santoro in Sydney: 13 ratheer than 12 threats.

Tursunov withdrew for some reason; Lee played, and was beaten by, LL Korolev. Also, Seppi replaced Joachim Johansson and Kim replaced Malisse. 3 lucky losers!

Vliegen beat Tipsarevic 7-6, 6-0. I did think that Tippy would win that one, first set was very close. He has a bit of a short fuse so maybe it blew after losing the breaker, especially with knowing that he'd have to spend another 90 min + grinding in the heat in order to win.

Hope he's out of AO too! Probably just a precaution though

It doesn't particularly matter, Andy's got his number. 2-0 in the head to heads in favour of Muzza and not a set dropped.

.....actually wait a sec, it would be good, will move Boggo one place closer to a top 8 qualies seeding. I think he needs 7 more withdrawals right now

Boggo 11th seed at moment, behind


Sanguinetti, Falla, Waske, Pavel, Gabashvilli, Russell, Muller, Sluiter, Economidis, and Marach

- From what I can tell, there's no advantage to being a top 8 seed: they assign seeds 17- 32 at random to the 16 qualifying groups. However, it would help his chances of getting a Lucky Loser spot (from looking at the rlebook, it seems the lottery method for selecting LLs isn't happening any more?)

With Lee  going out, there's now a maximum of five players from the 8 still playing who can overtake Tim.  So worst case now is 41 (down 3 on the week). Best case is still 36 (up 2).


Tonight sees Melzer (vs Santoro), Moya (vs WC Bourgeois) and Clement vs Mathieu (we want Mathieu to win) playing in Sydney, as well as Benneteau ahead of Tim.


Number 1 threat, Wawrinka (vs Almagro), as well as Massu (vs Ferrero) and Fish (vs Kendrick) play in Auckland, as well as Calleri, Almagro and Chela ahead.


Let's see if we can knock another four out - ideally Wawrinka, Melzer, Massu and Clement. Are you up to it, ladies?

Clement  and Santoro go out in Sydney as does Benneteau from ahead of Tim. Melzer, Moya and Mathieu won their R1s.


So that's 2 more out: 6 down and 7 to go!


No play in Auckland - rained off.


There's still a maximum of five from the remaining seven who can overtake. so worst case still down 3

5 of the seven threats playing tonight. Let's see how many we can knock out for Tim!


Tonight sees Tim's number 1 threat, Wawrinka play Almagro in Auckland. Massu(vs Ferrero) and Fish(vs Kendrick) are also playing there, as are Chela and Calleri ahead of Tim.


In Sydney, number 4 threat, Melzer, plays Guccione and Moya plays Verdasco.

Just the one threat knocked out overnight: Wawrinka lost to Almagro. Verdasco  also lost, ahead of Tim.


Moya, Massu and Fish all won, as did Calleri, Almagro and Chela ahead of Tim.


Melzer and Guccione will meet later this morning.


It's now five from seven (edit: not six!) that can overtake. If Melzer loses, it'll be four from six.

Melzer beat Guccione - Why did that run have to end now?


He moves to just 10 points behind Tim.


After three days, the thirteen threats are now seven:


Vliegen will overtake if he wins the next match and makes the QF


Melzer will overtake if he wins his next match and makes the SF


Rochus will overtake if he wins his next two matches and makes the SF


Moya and Mathieu will overtake if they win their next three matches and win Sydney.


Massu and Fish will overtake if they win their next four matches and win Auckland.


Still a max of 5 that can overtake.  Worst case, Tim goes to 41st (down 3).
