Four GB players, in a Challenger, in Thailand

It's grand that we have so many players at this level.....

Yes its clever scheduling given it is essentially a 25k level field at best.

 More of our lower ranked players should be entering challengers the week of GS qualifying

 Good chance for the GB #9 and #10 to get big points. I wonder where the GB #10 will be ranked after this week

It's not really that similar to a 25k field. At Aldershot this week, the number 3 seed was WR 436, 3 places lower than the last direct acceptance here. Put another way, 20 players in the top 400 here versus 2 in Aldershot. Or 14 players in the top 350 versus 1.

 Check back a few weeks and I think you will find it is similar. Its a weak challenger field, poor argument comparing Aldershot most of the players that would play there have travelled for the weaker challengers. My point stands, you sometimes need to look deeper to compare.

 This is weaker that many challenger fields but, it is a 50k challenger, not an 80k or higher.  Its certainly higher than an average 25k.

The point is its a weak challenger field because of the US Open. Its rare to have a challenger with no player ranked within the top 250.

Its exactly why Billy and Ali are camped here for the month. Both should be top 250 by the end of it. Ali might even make it without winning much.

And I think we ALL agree with that Jaggy. I think it stronger than a 25K "at best" though which was the point you originally made though.

 Might be a weak field but you still need to win your matches.
