I know that Coxy has a wild card. So that leaves two spots.

steven · Tennis legend

An odd qualifying draw containing only 9 ranked players (probably due to the sheer number of Futures on this week), with Bloomers as no. 1 seed (can he enter Futures qualifying after withdrawing from a Challenger, or did he withdraw from Tunica before becoming a DA?)

QR1: Thomas Knights UNR v Cory Phillips (AUS) UNR

Good luck, Evo, Jags and Carpenter.

Hmmm, Smethurst, Willis and Milton are not here. I guess one of them decided to bunk the trip and the two others have wild cards.

Where did Jag's world ranking and subsequent seeding come from? He became unranked weeks ago.

He must have been ranked when he was added to the alts entry list weeks ago. Unless he picks up a pt soon it will limit his events.

Salmon · Tennis legend

But your seeding depends on the latest ranking list available at the start of qualies draw, so he shouldn't be seeded.

Not that I'm complaining!

steven · Tennis legend

That's a good point, quite a mess-up there!

Drew · May 4, 2008

Just had the scores emailed to me but im on the road....

Priddle won 4&4
Knights won in 3
Carpenter won in 2
Angus won in 2
Flanagan, thompson & evo won in 2
Mckie, modebe & obrien won in 3
Alridge lost in 2

So i think thats 9/10 possible wins today.

Thanks! Great service, I must say.

Thanks for the results, Drew - they still haven't appeared on the ATP or TE and the ITF and LTA sites don't even show the original draw yet, so I don't know what we'd do without your contact!

Here are the results re-jigged with smileys (which show at a glance what a good day it was, with lots of Brits beating visting players!) and the effect on the FQR draw. I'll edit to add the scores when we get them.

QR1: Chris Priddle UNR beat Mark Fynn (ZIM) UNR by 4 & 4 smile
QR1: Thomas Knights UNR beat Cory Phillips (AUS) UNR by 6-3 5-7 7-6(?) smile
QR1: Jack Carpenter UNR beat Rogan Egerton UNR by 6-4 7-6(?) smile cry
QR1: Niall Angus UNR beat Dominic Ross-Hurst UNR by 3 & 2 smile cry
QR1: Taylor Flanagan UNR beat Raahil Dhruva (IND) UNR by 1 & 1 smile
QR1: Burnham Arlidge UNR lost to (q6) David Nylen (SWE) WR 1209 by 1 & 4 cry
QR1: Michael Thompson UNR beat Daniel Tjondronegoro (NED) UNR by 1 & 3 smile
QR1: (q7) Daniel Evans WR 1342 beat Jarryd Maher (AUS) UNR by 5 & 3 smile
QR1: Jamies McKie UNR beat Stewart Crerar UNR by 2-6 7-5 6-2 smile cry
QR1: Orion Modebe UNR beat (q8) Jagdev Sagoo WR 1465 by 6-1 3-6 6-4 biggrin bleh

FQR: (q1) Richard Bloomfield WR 373 v Chris Priddle UNR
FQR: Thomas Knights UNR v (q2) Purav Raja (IND) WR 839
FQR: (q3) Tim Hewitt WR 1014 v Jack Carpenter UNR
FQR: (q4) James Feaver WR 1017 v Niall Angus UNR
FQR: (q5) Matthew Illingworth WR 1055 v Taylor Flanagan UNR

FQR: (q7) Daniel Evans WR 1342 v Jamies McKie UNR
FQR: Orion Modebe UNR v Colin O'Brien (IRL) UNR

That means there is at least one Brit in every FQR match and we have five guaranteed qualifiers! biggrin

Edit: Thanks for the scores Drew, I've added the results then deleted the post below. TennisEurope have now updated the men's Q draw page .... with the women's Q draw! bleh

thanks Drew. a good day then

I think Knights can beat Raja. Clay is Raja's worst surface by far and Knights is extremely comfortable on it.

Other than that, I don't see much chance of Brits beating the non-Brits. Colin O'Brien nearly qualified last week after beating Fitzy and taking a set off Milton. And Thompson is probably still a little distance away from beating ranked players.

I'll be very happy if Carpenter beats Hewitt, but it probably won't happen. In any case, Hewitt will be good person to have in the main draw, too.

Some pretty crap draws in the main draw. Some good ones too.

http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2008/351/mds.pdf

Bloomers vs Skupski

Cox vs Smethurst

Evans vs Cervanek

Ward vs Illingworth

to name a few
