Jeanclaude withdraws, which means Coxy gets a seeding. clap.gif Assuming there are no higher ranked wild cards or qualifiers, of course.

Maniel Bains is now in.




Evans won't get a wild card, so he'll have to qualify. hmm.gif You can't get SEs in Britain, I think? Finals are over before 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Of course, there's always a chance of it raining enough to postpone the final to Sunday!

Hopefully Watters will be here as a wild card.

Evans could get a SE as there's nothing in the rules that suggest he can't, as the tournaments are the same level, the same timezone, and Evans wouldn't have made the cut.

Only thing would be that the Ikley final probably won't be played on Sunday (unless the weather is really bad), so the chance of the SE will disappear as the qualifying sign-in will problem be after the final.

Yeah.

I wonder if they have indoor courts at Ilkley?

Presumably they do, KFP, as the doubles quarters must have been played indoors yesterday.

The conspiracy theorists will have a field day...


Evo is due to play two matches tomorrow (in case he wins the first one, of course) with the second starting at some time after 14:00. Now if he plays the second one, he's almost certain to miss Wrexham unless it's something like the longest three setter in tennis history and he gets the SE.

He needs to get there by 18:00 to enter qualies, which will be tough (if at all possible) unless someone's waiting with a car outside the Ilkley courts. The normal procedure is to give qualies wild cards to such players (Cox had one at Bournemouth this year) but this is an LTA event, so technically Evo is banned.

Makes you wonder if this is all coincidence or intentional. Innocent until proven guilty, but I wonder, I wonder... In any case, they did this without having his interests in mind, which is pathetic.

I was there yes. Was very impressed by Dan then. I'm really suprised he hasn't had a much better junior career.

Any idea when play starts tomorrow? Its normally 10am.
