Of course they do! I dont know what is so difficult to undestand. Go back about 30 pages in this thread and at the beginning of every week, someone, either me, Lorna, Neil or Jake has posted Where Andy's current rank is. Thats way ahead of the Useless ATP site. We've been tracking his progress the same way for months now, so I dont know why you are saying now that its wrong, because its not.The ATP will update next Monday with where I said he was (14th) yesterday!
So we're way ahead of them on that aspect!   AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH

Yeah,its your bussiness

Whenever we have stated Andy's rank it has always been his current rank. When we state his future rank we make sure to use the appropriates language to make sure everyone understands that is a prediction. It's obviously best that way otherwise guests will wonder why we state Andy as something he has yet to be.

Mark, dont talk boll**ks! Its f**king obvious, the thread is called Ranking Next Week! I think you ask more than anybody about his future rank, so dont pretend like you think its different!

Id love someone to apologise to someone else right now, that would be impressive 

I absolutely understand why you said his future ranking, that's not in dispute but my suggestion is to use slightly different language next time to not confuse the guests

I don't recall anyone saying Andy's ranking IS xx, they always say "next week" or "will be", that's all I'm talking about

Yeah, cool! Basically The ATP site will give Andys rank on Monday, then the next Monday and so on and on and on. A lot of us have been keeping track of his ranking and posting more regularly, almost daily changes. When he hasnt played there wasnt that much to post, but when he didnt play this week and there are almost nobody near him playing, its easier and quicker to tell where he will be ranked next week. So instead of us saying if he beats someone he'll be ranked here, there were no conditions to his ranking, it was simply he is 14th.  I think Cate and Mark just got confused, and to be honest we should be happy that our community can tell where Andy will be ranked before the ATP site. I dont know why there was so much complaining!

I can't believe this whole argument has happened purely because Mike forgot to put "will be" in his sentence but instead used "is" which is present tense.

Saying Andy IS 14th is a false statement when ATP say his current ranking is still 13th. We are not confused here - we understand that this thread is designed for predicting Andy's ranking for the next week but that doesn't mean we don't sometimes discuss his CURRENT rank and because of this it's helpful to distinguish between the two by using the appropriate language.

What you were trying to say Mike was not wrong but could easily be interpreted as false due to your use of words, that's all.

I can't recall anyone refer to Andy's future ranking in present tense here. We always use the words "predict", "future", "next week", "will be".
