Count Zero · Tennis legend

do you know har far out boggo is now?

seagull · Hall of fame

Yep he is 4 out. There are 2 SE's to clear and around 6 players still in FO doubles (Clement in singles as we speak) so every chance.

thanks mate.

Do you know who the WCs for the men's draw are?

Count Zero · Tennis legend

not yet, they maybe waiting to see if any 'names' want them. if all 4 go to Brits then i'd guess at:

Ward, Evans, Goodall, Eaton.

WTF is Anna Smith doing in the MD over Naomi C :o

Great for Georgie and Broady tho, I hope Broady can do some damage with her serve! We could have a great week here. Sadly Im not going this year but will be there next year for sure.

I do hope the LTA are being sensible about spreading out their wild cards this grass season. This might mean they are giving Naomi C a wildcard into Birmingham. I remember their awful planning last year which resulted in Slabba and Ward playing ATP Nottingham when they should have been at Wimbly qualifying. Giving them Queens wildcards would have been much more sensible.

Also there are two womens wild cards still to be given (there's no way Georgie won't get in as a DA once the SE places are cleared) so Naomi C could still be given one.

I hope you're right, certainly sounsd plausible. I suppose for Naomi the wins here probably mean more than the points. Its a very strong field, but grass could be exactly what she needs to get some points back and some confidence, so I hope she hasnt been over-looked due solely to her drop in the rank!

When its the cut off point for players still in RG to be allowed to play here? Groth for example is still in the MD and plays Jankovic on Saturday, same with Cirstea and some extra withdrawls would be nice to free up the WC and get Georgie in on merit. And not forgetting doubles, Vania King is playing strong tennis and may not be out for a couple of days??

If a player is still involved in Roland Garros (singles or doubles) by the qualifying sign-in deadline then they are withdrawn.

But as I said Georgie will get in anyway once the SE spots are cleared because there is no tournaments to be given a SE from.

Cool. Cavaday and EWS deserve WCs for sure. I hope Jocelyn makes a succesful return too, I remember seeing her in the girls doubles last year, I think she may have been with Jade Curtis(?) but she looked good, she was very tall and I did wonder whether she would get an injury as a consequence.

Loads of Brits in action is always good though. I hope if anyone can go watch they can report back to us :D

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i have heard a rumor the mens wc's are Cox, Evans, Fleming & Eaton.

seagull · Hall of fame

Boggo now 2 out with 2 SE's to be cleared

The Hoose · Satellite level

Who are the doubles players we need to cheer on?
