Josh S reporting a loss on Twitter, so I guess that Dan S has made the final round.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Gosling advising Dan C has won.

Hoppy · Junior player

Semis is Willis, Salisbury and cox, smethurst

Not sure they're even playing them.

Which is what I'd wondered in passing previously - just give 4 wildcards.

But maybe they have and they've been quite quick.

Whatever, it seems like Dan Cox is through

I guess Dan Cox no longer playing his apparently planned 10K clay futures in Romania next week

Seemingly Dan Cox only beat Jay Clarke by 7-5 6-3

Good effort, that, by Jay.

Yes good effort BY Jay but so pleased that Dan Cox is giving the tour another real go

And, don't know if if it applies to all four (presumably), or just Joe as losing semi-finalist, but it's being tweeted that Joe Salisbury was a semi-finalist, lost his semi, but has been given a QWC for Wimbly.

He has never been happier after a loss. @joesalisbury92 semi final place at pre qualies secures him @Wimbledon qualifying WC

Which means Marcus Willis presumably has a wildcard for the Qualis too.

I don't know the scorelines, but from various tweets and Gosling answering a key question, it looks like Joe beat Josh and Marcus beat Jonny in the top half, then Marcus beat Joe but they both get QWCs.

Love watching Marcus play (and definitely can't blame him for having a go here!) but assuming he isn't coming back properly, I must admit I was hoping Jonny would win that R2 match.

Dan also gets a QWC after beating Jay.

The fact that both Marcus and Dan Cox have both been playing a lot of team tennis in France (and in the UK for Marcus - and Dan too??? Don't think so but might be wrong) means they're both still in good shape and posting good results against some good players.

Shows the virtue of team tennis.

SO pleased for Marcus he has the talent to be inside top 200 but is he giving it another go sorry for Jonny his turn will cpme

I intend to "have a word" with Marcus at Wimbledon qualies. wink Why did he make all that effort to get fit for the tour only to stop playing - assuming that is the case. I need him back in that top 500 as we are a bit light in that department at the moment.

Having said that, there was a comment made by Marcus around Feb (to Mike C I think) where he said he would not be back on the tour until June. So may be this is the start of a comeback.

And like others have said here, if there is a spare WC floating around, Jonny would be my choice.

RJA · Hall of fame

Klein has been given a wild card for Nottingham (plays a qualifier in R1) so I think it is safe to assume that a main draw Wimbledon wild card is coming his way.
