Qualies draw out:

QR1:

(6)James Auckland(Gbr) WR472 vs Danilo Zivanovic(Aus) WR1246

The winner to play either (wc)Chris Hand(USA) UNR or Kaes Van't Hof(USA) WR1511.

The only other WR players in Aucks' quarter are (4)Kei Nishikori(Jpn) WR395 and Jason Zimmermann(USA) WR915.

Full Draw

So yet another missed oportunity for a number of British players - yet another bye in ATP qualifying.

Hopefully a number of players in doubles again this week - Stretch and Aucks, Delgado and Hutchins if they haven't gone back home for the challenger and Boggo if he's fit enough.

So Boggo gets stepanek in round 1, could have been better could have been a worser draw, however stepanek is still playing in switzerland so there is a possibility he could still pull out if he makes the final today.

Nope:  the west coast of the US is eight hours behind the UK, so more like 6pm BST...! wink eyepopping.gif

Auckland on the scoreboard, so he'll be in action soon

Okay draw for Bogdanovic, but Stepanek appears to have re-found his form this week and is starting to win matches again. Stepanek will be the big favourite for that match, so it could be another early exit for Alex

No luck with the draw again though, as there are so many players that he would fancy his chance against, and he finally draws someone with a lower rank than him... only for it to be a former top 10 player

Anyone any idea how Aucks fared earlier?  confused  I can't get any sense out of the site as far as the results of Q1 matches are concerned & the live scoreboard, usually a good source of "today's results", doesn't appear to be working...! angered.gif

Doubles draw is out, and there are 4 Brits!!

R1:

James Auckland(Gbr)/Stephen Huss(Aus) CWR137 vs Amer Delic(USA)/Igor Kunitsyn(Rus) CWR159
(winner to play (probably) (1)Bryan/Bryan CWR2)

Ross Hutchins/Alex Bogdanovic(Gbr) CWR654 vs Mardy Fish/Sam Querrey(USA) CWR435
winner to play either:
(2)Jamie Murray(Gbr)/Eric Butorac(USA) CWR63 vs Scott Lipsky/David Martin(USA) CWR156

Full Draw

I wonder why neither Ross nor Jamie entered singles qualies - maybe arrived too late I guess but would have been great chance of easy money/singles points

Thanks for posting the draw. smile  I thought Jamie was on record as saying he'd given up any aspirations he once had as a singles player now that he's comfortably established as a serious doubles player?  If memory serves, he no longer has a singles ranking anyway, so the prospect of picking up a few points would hardly be mouth-watering & with his half-share of the prize money for the Wimbledon mixed title (£45,000), not to mention the £7,880 picked for reaching the third round of the men's with Booty, now safely in the bank, I doubt easy singles qualie money would hold much attraction now, either! wink
