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.

Men's ATP Entry System
13 June:
1 R Federer Swi (seeded 1) 11 M Puerta Arg
2 L Hewitt Aus (seeded 3) 12 G Gaudio Arg
3 R Nadal Sp (seeded 4- clay and young) 13 T Robredo Sp
4 A Roddick US (seeded 2- grass (really hard) player) 14 G Coria Arg
5 M Safin Rus (seeded 5) 15 R Stepanek Cze
6 A Agassi US (withdrew) 16 D Ferrer Sp
7 N Davydenko Rus 17 I Ljubicic Cro
8 G Canas Arg 18 T Johansson Swe
9 T Henman GB (seeded 6) 19 D Nalbandian Arg
10 J Johansson Swe 20 C Moya Sp

Other British players:
39 G Rusedski 213 J Delgado
184 A Bogdanovic 221 A Mackin
205 A Parmar 260 D Sherwood
212 M Hilton 274 J Marray
CBA to do the rest but you get the point.
