GB ranking changes in 2006
Permalink  

Hope this is of interest, now updated to the end of 2006.


THE 47 BRITS RANKED NOW AND AT THE END OF 2005

This first table is ranked by how far players have moved from where they were at the end of last year to where they are now as a percentage of the amount they needed to climb to reach no. 1 in the world.

e.g. a player moving from 201 to 101 would have moved half the distance between 201 and no. 1 in the world, so would get +50%. Conversely, a player moving from 101 to 201 would get -100% because they would have doubled the distance between where they were and the no. 1 position. Hope that makes sense!

+75% Andy Murray (up 47 from 64 to 17)
+47% Joshua Goodall (up 180 from 386 to 206)
+40% Robert Searle (up 603 from 1497 to 894)

THats really interesting and useful Steven.


One thing that particularly stands out for me is the fact that Jamie Baker actually had a positive season. I've been quite down on him the last few months, but he's still going in the right direction and leaving himself room to improve further next year!

Thanks Steven, that's all really interesting. I like the %s table.


How many Brits have had career bests this year, does anyone know?

With a lot of players, you can make their season look good or bad just by varying the start date a bit. For example, Jamie carried on moving up early in the year, eventually peaking at 278 if I remember right, but has gone downhill in the latter part of the year, while Jonny Marray slipped hundreds of places and out of the top 500 at one point but has shot up the rankings the last fewweeks to end up virtually back where he started.


As you say though, it is refreshing to see that overall Jamie is significantly up on the year.

Murray (16)
Bogdanovic (114)
Bloomfield (196)
Goodall (244)
Baker (278)
Auckland (282)
Smith (295)
Fleming (365)
Bamford (555)
Hutchins (559)
Slabinsky (573)
Phillips (591)
Rushby (652)


Some of those career high rankings may be a few places out (I'll do a proper check at the end of the year), but I'm fairly sure those are all the Brits who've had career high rankings in the top 700 at some point this year. A lot of them were near the start of the year, as you can tell by how far some of them have slipped back since - e.g. it's amazing to think now that players like Smith and Fleming had career highs this year.

Thank you Steven.


It is quite encouraging that so many have had career highs this year, even though some were in the early parts of the year.

The ranking shown is where they were at the end of last year. I imagine part of the reason why we have more than twice as many dropouts as new entries is the change from 10K GB Futures to 15Ks.






Good point indeed! I think that the LTA should degrade a few 15Ks to 10Ks. That will also help the younger players in getting a foothold on men's tennis.

Andy Murray won a Futures at the age of 16. These were the ranks of his opponents - 446, 1109, 828, 660, 622.
These days we have Futures with sub 500 cut offs.

The tables in the first post in this thread have now been finalised using the 1.1.2007 (i.e. 2006 year-end) ranking list that was published today.
