Thanks for that
But Henman at 6th? Nalbandian's down at 18th, and at least he's got to the final before!

And he really shouldn't have. Plus Henman's a grass player and Nalbandian's a claycourter. I also believe Henman (9th) is higher than Nalbandian (19th) in teh Entry which is used to generate the seedings.
They can move players around a few places to suit previous record, court type, etc etc but the Entry is basically the seedings.
