ATP Rules
6.12 Time of DRAW
A.Main Draw
1) singles. The Tournament shall publicly make the singles draw no earlier than 12 noon Eastern Time, USA, on Friday prior to the Monday of the Tournament week and no later than 10 p.m. local time two (2) days before the first day's play, unless the Tournament receives prior written permission from the ATP. The time and place of the draw shall be determined by the Tournament.

But remember this is The LTA we are talking about here!
Making the draw doesn't necessarily mean telling anyone about it.

If it's 10 p.m., maybe we still have time - one or two hour delays in publishing aren't abnormal and quite acceptable.

But think it was a normal 9 p.m. draw and no one bothered to update.

No Draw. I guess it'll be made sometime today so that Beck can be seeded?

Surely not allowed to change rules just to accommodate individual players.

True.

But I think they would get special permission if they wanted to accomodate Beck as a seed. To be honest, that would be fair as otherwise you could see Beck vs. the top seed in the first round.

At this moment in time I am set to go tomorrow so if anyone thinks that they'll be able to post results on a regular-ish basis tomorrow then PM me sometime before tomorrow morning with your mob number.

My mole tells me that this is precisely the reason, and that the draw will be made as soon as Beck's match has been completed.

They are indoors today but are hoping to play outdoors tomorrow.

It would be a real shame for the tournament then if Beck was beaten by Skupski.... because Karol Beck is clearly the reason why people will watch the event....

Although it not just the UK challengers that have done this... if someone good shows up in the qualifying draw, most events will delay the draw in order to seed them

This mole knows almost everything! smile.gif

Match has just started, so we should get the draw anytime after one and a half hours, I guess (unless someone retires).

I dont have a mole but do have it in writing from the event director that the delay in the MD is down to Karol Beck....so much for the rules !
