Well the woman seem to be coming good!Keep the faith. Despite all the handwringing earlier in the year. The two danger points I see next year are Emmas points dropping at Queens and Katies for reaching the semis. On the mens side its Arthur I am most concerned about as TBH I cant see him replicating a semis berth at Wimbledon again. So the women might actually end up with more in the top 100 than the men next year. Who knows. I also think it helps our rising juniors to have a bit of depth at the top, takes the heat off them.

I know what you mean Var but I don't think Arthur will be a flash in the pan. He showed in Winston-Salem, where he made the final, that he's capable of doing damage elsewhere and came very, very close to beating Khachanov (US Open semifinalist) in Shanghai.
I reckon that by the time Wimbledon comes around, he'll have enough points to still be in the top 100, even with an early exit. And I can see Jake getting back to the top 50.
If Jack recovers from injury, there's a possibility we could have 5 men in the top 100 sometime in 2027

Arthur, Cam, Jake, Toby and Jack? You expect Jan to stay outside now? Presuming so, I think I agree, my instinct is Jan made his peak this year and will sustain a 100-150 position next year, maybe after a drop down. I don't expect JPJ to make the leap to top 100 but he would be my only other player who may be outside your top 5 who could break into that group.
Katie B seems to be scheduled for a SF match against Siniakova here at 5:30am tomorrow and a match at 7:30am tomorrow in Tokyo againat Ishii in
the qualifying of the WTA500

She will have to drop out of Tokyo qualifying. As lambda points out, she can't play both. From another lambda post, the main draw wildcards all look allocated, so looks like she will just have to go and win Osaka instead!
