I don't understand the draw at all. Normally, you're told to do high seeds with low seeds i.e. the basic way is that the better player is 'protected' by playing the worse player. So, if you add the seeds together, you get the same number for each pairing - number 1 plays number 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6, 4 v 5 : they all equal 9. (There's a slight variation if you want 1 v 3, and 2 v 4 as your final pairings, as opposed to 1 v 4 and 2 v 3, but it makes no major difference).

And yet here, for instance, Aswin is (9) and yet due to play the (6) in the final q round, whereas Scott is (12) and due to play the (8).

Also, non GB, the (3) gets the (10), but the (7) gets the (13)

I don't understand . . .

i thought that seeds 9 - 16 got placed randomly. could be wrong.

Yes, qualifying seeds 9 to 16 placed randomly. In FQRs the top seeds ( i.e. these seeded to qualify ) are matched randomly with the second group of seeds ).

In main draws with more than 8 seeds there is an element of batching, eg 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, 13 to 16, but random within that.

I seem to remember that in the past (60's/70's maybe) there were allocated slots in the draw for all the seeds, certainly at Wimbledon. Then at some point they introduced the random element.

I was a bit surprised too, but Tom did make the quarters in Turkey last week, beating the WR 612 player and only losing in a close match to Vorster who went on to win the title.

He also won the doubles title. So I guess he's playing well . .

Excuse me, young sir ! No missing FQR result :)

Just done as two separate posts . . . (which is not the most helpful, I agree . . .)
