Andy has one, so why not Jamie!
Jamie is ranked at 31st and Eric at 39th! They are defending 120 points this week, so need to do well!

The 1st, 3rd and 4th seeds are out in Indiannapolis. Hopefully Jamie and Eric wont choke, and they can win another title!

If all goes perfectly, Jamie could end up a career-highest 26 this week  This would require Levinsky and Friedl to lose during early rounds. |

It wasn't to be - Jamie currently drops to 33, and if I'm not mistaken, that's as far as he'll go down as a result of yesterday's loss...

This week Jamie defends 16 points but there not in his 14 that count towards his rankings.
Eric defends 70 from winning the challenger in Vancouver, which are in his best 14.

Officially Jamie is 30th, but actually/technically he's 29th!
He's already out of Montreal, but theres only 3 people with realistic chances of overtaking him this week. Bennetau, Garcia, Perry!

Jamie will now go above Booty for the first time since they spilt.

A partnership that can beat the Bryans. Definately worth making the effort to get it right.

I think this thread was a good idea. Anyone know how much is at steak for Jamie this week? They could win this tournament.

This is from the AM.com thread.  If Jamie gets to the SF - He will gain 185 points. He will rise to no.36. If Jamie gets to the Final - He will gain 310 points. He will rise to no.31. If Jamie wins the event - He will gain 460 points. He will rise to no.31. |

But they're wrong. Jamie's defending 75 for a R16 at IW last year so he only gains 150 (225 for a semi)...

It's still p36 But he'd only gain 275 for Final, and 425 for a win. The ranking numbers are still the same cause of the gaps at these places though.

There's someone in my head but it's not me

I was looking at Jamie's ranking yesterday but I couldn't get my head around how many places he could rise. 4 seems about right.
Also importantly for the team is Max will move up 2 places to 18 giving them a combined ranking of about 54 instead of 60. The next closest guy to max who was 600 odd points ahead of him dropped a whopping 500 points thanks to Booty and Jamie's little bro Andy.
Very difficult to work out but I think the cut-off for the IW was a combined ranking of 61. I counted 2 pairs had 61 and Max/Jamie had 60. Now they will have a little more breathing room for Miami. Jamie has nothing to defend in Miami but will lose 40 points from Indianapolis if they win the first round. Indianapolis is the worst 'best 14' points.
With the number of singles players joining the draw it can make it difficult for teams who are on the edge of getting in. I'm not sure I like it where the singles guys get priority as I think the specialist doubles players should be given priority. I don't know how it works but I guess a lot of favours are done. I guess it worked well for Jamie when Andy played with him initially to get him in the mix so he could get on the main tour.

I think it's just that the highest ranking you have is what counts to your combined ranking. So Andy and Jamie would have had a combined ranking of 51 at the beginning of this week. But I don't think the singles guys can get seeded on the basis of their singles ranking. So like, if Nadal and Fed teamed up they wouldn't get seeded. I shall see if I can check that out though.
