I think Billy's ultimate aim is to get noticed for a main draw wildcard for Wimbledon, which will secure his finances for the season.
With 5 in the top 100 likely to get in direct. Ryan, Jan are ahead of him and Kyle are Arthur the other candidates at the moment - so a great chance.

Well, the women regularly get around that amount 4-6. So I see no reason all of these wouldn't! Although I feel Kyle needs a good burst of injury free play and progression to be on the list. I'd also hope George Loffhagen (if injury free and progressing) would also be in with a shot.

 A lot to happen before June. Jake Fearnley is coming through, Paul Jubb could climb back up, could Ali Gray come back, Jay could make a resurgence. I would say 8-9 months out, making lists is a fool's game!

 ... and yet everyone is encouraged to guess the year-end rankings a full year in advance.

What looks like another good chance for Billy to progress.
