The French Open Q list should be based on the next rankings at 20/04.
Our top 10 down to Dan are clearly ranked high enough for MD or Q list entry, though Dan himself has only played an Aus Open Q match since last September.
Then we have 6 players currently live ranked 219 to 246. With I understand a final last direct entry of about 235 last year, then Oliver and Harry should be fine for Q entry plus Felix looks to have a good chance ( hope he will be OK after retiring again yesterday ). Liam and Charles probably need to keep winning this week. And it looks unlikely for George.
Current live rankings :
219. Oliver C: 253 + 6 ( net 0 ) = 253 - into Tallahassee Chal 75 R2
220. Harry W: 253 - not playing this week.
228. Felix G: 247 - 8 + 5 = 244 - qualified but lost in R1 in Oeiras Chal 125
242. Liam B: 223 + 8 ( net 5 ) = 228 - into Busan Chal 125 R2
243. Charles B: 223 + 7 ( net 4 ) + 4 ( net 1 ) = 228 - China M25 SF last week and now into Wuning Chal 50 R2
Liam and Charles making a good run at things this week, hope they can grab another win or two. Too late for RG qualies, but Giles Hussey also making a show in China.
Oli C could also progress further in Talahassee.
Fascinating times.
Shame to see JoMo presumably injured and falling backwards and Paul Jubb just not making any real progress. Disappointed for them and also Ryan P, again not sure of his status but not really been challenging.
If RG qualies cut off is mid April, presumably Wimbledon cut off must only be another 4 or 5 weeks down the line?
A further 8 points for Liam and 4 points for Charles for reaching their respective QFs, now has these 2:
Current live rankings :
231. Liam B 236 points
240. Charles B 232 points
The LTR list I just checked shows Charles at 239 - Sun is one point behind on LTR. Others are gathered just behind. Not saying LTR is right, I dont have the detail to say that, just looking at their live list literally as a type

LTR is wrong ( OER is right ).
LTR insists on continuing to award 8 and 16 points for M25 SF and RU, although these have changed this year to 7 and 14 points respectively. When the official rankings come out it adjusts players into line then goes on and makes the same mistakes the following week! It hence has given Charles 8 points instead of 7 for his M25 SF last week.

Ah, ok. Tbh although I know other apps are available, I only use LTR for rankings info, and accept their occasional foibles as part of the deal!
It leaves both Oliver and Harry on 253 points, live ranked 220 and 221 respectively. I imagine that that will be more than enough to get them into French Open qualifying.
