Week 26 - Wimbledon men's qualifying


An almost miraculous set of draws - all 9 Brits have avoided the top 24 seeds in QR1 and more than half of them play opponents ranked outside the top 200

QR1: (wc) Alex Ward WR 854 v Egor Gerasimov (BLR) WR 163 (=CH) - H2H 0-1, 2&6, Heilbronn Ch Q 2014
QR1: (wc) Liam Broady WR 404 v Frank Dancevic (CAN) WR 292 (CH 65 in 2007) - H2H 1-0, 3&6, Tiburon Ch R1 2014
QR1: (wc) Marcus Willis WR 387 v (q31) Andrej Martin (SVK) WR 146 (CH 98 last Jul) - winner v winner of Liam's QR1
QR1: (wc) Ed Corrie WR 351 v Roberto Quiroz (ECU) WR 237 (CH 220 in Apr)
QR1: (wc) Dan Cox WR 653 v Mackenzie McDonald (USA) WR 225 (CH 224 last week) - H2H 0-1, 2&2, Knoxville Ch R1 2016
QR1: (wc) Jay Clarke WR 396 v Marcelo Arevalo (ESA) WR 232 (CH 176 last Aug)
QR1: (wc) Neil Pauffley WR 551 v Aleksandr Nedovyesov (KAZ) WR 214 (CH 72 in 2014)
QR1: (wc) Ryan Storrie WR 1026 v (q25) Quentin Halys (FRA) WR 139 (CH 126 in May)
QR1: (wc) Lloyd Glasspool WR 405 v Nicolas Jarry (CHI) WR 176 (CH 172 in 2015)

Couldn't have asked for a much better set of draws all round really. As others have gone for either 4 or 5 t go through, I am going to be Mr Positive and say 6. I'll add Dan Cox to the 5 suggested above.

OK. Four. Liam, Lloyd and Jay. Plus one other 'surprise'.

(I just can't see Marcus doing it again - hope to be wrong, though, and he does love a crowd.....).

The OoP can be found here

All nine play tomorrow. If it is indeed Court 11 that is being televised/streamed, as someone suggested in a different thread, then we have Marcus 2nd match on.

Play starts at 11am.

Halys has had some decent results in the grass challys, so Ryan will find it tough, anybody from South America is always a good draw, Dancevic used to be a very solid player, but maybe his best days are long gone. If Marcus can play like he did against Groth last week until the 2nd set TB, he should win, got to be fired up from what happened last year. Jay is someone I've got to know him quite well after having some long chats with him last week, he's matured massively and his game is perfect for rising up the men's rankings, keeping the aggressive mindset is key, he is the real deal to say the least, could have a tricky QR2 match but surely a dead cert for QR1. Liam's has found a groove, Coxy is always competitive at this level, Lloyd is back to his best, and Pauffers won the playoffs so is playing well. Only Wardy is lacking match practice, fully fit now, hopefully can find his groove. So I think we have 8 realistic chances, some gilt edged, some outside shots so hopefully 5/6 can come through.

I tried to buy though ticket master but the site was disinterested.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately as Indi has pointed out it's for Tuesday and very worryingly and all down to Brexit the vendor isn't interested in the pound ... wants paying in Ice Cream!

You are all being very optimistic.
Is playing on grass against higher ranked players a leveller?

I think we will be lucky if we get two through.
