RC Gills won't be shaken from top spot but 2 to 6 have nothing between them. Jimmy T gets 4th by virtue of more event winners than Compuer Guy.

Last week before SW19 so if you want to transfer now is the time to do it.

Phew, was getting worried for a minute then, I thought it was based on the ranking points won by each player (with 1000 to the winner and 700 to the runner-up) and thought my top spot was under serious threat. Then double-checked the rules and realised it's ATP Race points (with 200 to the winner and 140 to the runner-up).

Even so, Traeth is far from out of this now that Djokovic has been dumped out early - if Nadal can win that's 200pts, and Traeth is only 269pts behind me - a decent run from a couple of his other players (Murray and Safin maybe) and he could easily overtake me.

Most of the rest of the chasing pack had Djokovic too, so it's only really Traeth who's the threat. Really need a decent run from either Stepanek or Almagro (my only two players left in it) to help me protect my lead. That or for Nadal to get dumped out before the final.

Good luck Traeth (and anyone else who may be in contention)

thanks for that rc , didn't understand the scoring myself , you've just giving me some bad news though , i've got to be shouting for Murray , sorry i don't like the bloke.

it still looks like its your comp though rc

keep me posted on how i'm doing mate

Traeth, the points system is explained here Template:ATP Race Points Distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We've both got one player not involved (unless they're playing a lesser event somewhere, not sure about that) - Monaco for me, Koubek for you. So far I've got Nalbandian and Llodra out in round 1, so only 1pt each for them, and Djokovic out in round 2, so 7pts for him. Almagro and Stepanek are in the 2nd round, so a minimum of 7pts each, but obviously I need them to go as far as possible in Wimbledon.

You've got Fish who went out in round 1, so 1pt there. Then you've got Safin and Lopez who've both made the 3rd round, so that's a minimum of 15pts each for them. And then you've got Murray and Nadal who are both contenders to win it. Assuming Nadal reaches the final that's at least 140pts, or 200 if he wins it.

Bearing in mind the gap between us was only 269pts before this week, I think it's going to come down to Nadal. If he wins, I think you'll overtake me. If he finishes runner up it's going to be pretty close.

cheers for that rc and good luck

and a special thanks to Witt for running the comp at such a busy time for him

[Beanie]

Aye a cracking competition - deserved far more entrants!

Are there also points from last weeks tournies not included as well rc? Not checked who has who or who won what(Karlo v Verdasco was Nottingham final but not sure beyond that) but would that not affect things slightly too?

Ah bugger, hadn't realised that. Yep, you're absolutely right Beanie, and with Karlovic winning Nottingham and Ferrer winning s'Hertogenbosch, it could well be even closer than I thought. I'm going to end up finishing 4th or something, aren't I?

And ditto what's already been said, thanks to Wittmann for an excellent competition.
