Baker must have got a direct entry.

My guesses are - Marray, Rushby, Kasiri, Childs.

Sheddie · administrator

Yeah it must be those 4...unless Kasiri is still injured and someone else has got one....but who would that be ?

Hmmm, looking at that draw I'd be surprised if we get any qualifiers....best chance is the bottom quarter...will be an interesting clash between the two doubles specialists, Jamie M and Jamie D in rd2...I'd have to give the edge to Delgy in that one for having the better baseline game but on fast grass it'll be v close. Unfortunately Qureshi is pretty decent on grass

Niemeyer has been on fire this year...I think Aucks will make the final qualies round but I can't see him getting past the Canadian...

Salmon · Tennis legend

If Kasiri is injured, who knows! Ed Corrie? Simon Childs? Pauffley? Kennaugh making a comeback?

Sheddie · administrator

Childs is a possibility as he has a big serve but none of those guys are ready/or have done anything to deserve a challenger wc given how strong Surbiton is...

Kennaugh is still badly injured...he'll be out for a similar length of time to Morgan

Salmon · Tennis legend

That's true, but you have to give the wild card to somebody!!

Shame about Kennaugh.

Off the topic, but how do you pronounce 'Kennaugh'?

mkkreuk · Admin:Moderator + ATP qualifying

i think it should be "Ken-ner". Though with my (C.ockney) accent it comes out "Kenna"

I've also heard it pronounced "Ken-yak/Kennak"

Sheddie · administrator

the Tiger pronounces it as "Kennick"

(this boards censorship is quite annoying)

From the LTA :

Main draw WC

Rushby, Marray, Childs & Baker. If Baker got in direct then that would free another WC spot.

There has been quite a lot of withdrawals due to players still being in France so Baker will more than likely make it direct.

Thanks for the pronunciations, people. I have been using 'Ken-naw' all my life.

Arka....as far as I am concerned it is 'Ken-aw'....how can it be anything else ?

Drew · Jun 2, 2007

Just in case anyone was wondering about live scores from the LTA/web site....there wont be.
