It is good to see quite of the players outside of the top 500 playing and picking up wins, bar Felix Gill, who is training at Roehampton.
Aidan, Stu P, Liam, Hamish, George, Arthur etc

Hopefully we will have 20 in the top 500 pretty soon again. Certainly some players there that could clearly be very much higher ranked. Hopefully they stay fit and well and winning

"Pretty soon" will be Monday week.

We will be back to at least 20 in the top 500 then with Aidan going to be already there on Monday ( and adding more points this week ) and with George and Arthur's success at Roehampton.

The final will take George into the top 500 with now at least 85 points. Arthur will move from at least 76 points to 85 points if he wins the final and he too then into the top 500 to make it 21.

I havent followed too closely, but is that the first time weve achieved 21 since weve been counting?

There's still 21 players in the top-500

But the problem now is that there's a big gap in the pyramid

Currently we only have two players in the 100-200 range - and one of those is Andy who (bless) doesn't really count now in terms of rankings going forward

So only Billy in the 'feeder' group for the top-100

Of course, the 200-250 group is pretty jammed packed - seven players - so a few of those getting back in form/marking up some good wins would make a big difference

This is a CD post from 15/07/24 confirming 21 in the top 500 then. We had 21 in the rankings from 17/06 to 15/07 inclusive. So there has been at least that period as well.

17th March

There are 22 guys in the top-500

Breaks down to:

1 x teenager
2 x Next Gen (21 and under), which includes the teenager, obviously, no double-counting
3 x age 30 and above

Just 7 in the top 250, Jo Monday, Jay Clarke, Oliver Crawford and Ryan Peniston all progressing.

38 in the top 1000 and we should definitely bump that past 40 in the next couple of months.

Good to see these guys getting runs of wins in ITF events to help them build / rebuild their rankings. Hopefully one or two at least can push on into the top 250 and move on to challenger events.

Looking at the runners and riders, I'm not sure though about that 40 in the top 1000 expectation.

I'm still seeing 22 in the top 500, but the good news is that:
Kyle is back playing in addition Harry W is knocking on the door and Hamish Stewart, Felix Gill and Liam Broady are all capable of returning into the top 500.

Still seeing 38 in top 1000, but surely a matter of time before Blu Baker and Oscar Weightman break in.

But the bad news is:

we're back down to 21

Kyle has slipped out. And has 2 more points coming off this week
