RAM, Rajeev USA v MAHUT, Nicolas FRA
DE VOEST, Rik RSA v LORENZI, Paolo ITA
KUDRYAVTSEV, Alexandre RUS v (5) MANNARINO, Adrian FRA

Qualifying draw is out and there are five British players in the draw, with Bogdanovic being joined by the WC's, who were Evans, Eaton, Cox and Slabinsky.

Not a great draw though, with Bogdanovic facing the top seed Dancevic, although Dancevic has lost 6 matches in a row, Evans faces Alejandro Falla (in the same section as Boggo), Eaton gets 2nd seed Stakhovsky, Cox gets ERV (in the 3rd section, which is the weakest) and Slabba gets 4th seed Giraldo (who isn't that great on grass).

Not looking great for qualifying with perhaps the weakest of the five players Cox in the weakest section (I'd back Boggo, Evans and Eaton to all get through that section), and Boggo, Eaton and Slabba all facing seeds.

Eaton could win.... Slabba could win if he plays a good match as Giraldo isn't up to much on grass (but would probably face Mahut in the next round), while Boggo has the ability to beat Dancevic, especially given the Canadian's slump, but who knows how Boggo will play. Evans should win his first match and maybe his second, but will be the underdog against Dancevic/Boggo/Klien/Malisse in the final round (and those four players are all good enough to qualify, yet only one of the four will even reach the final round.

No OOP out yet though.

I quite fancy Evans' chances against Falla. Some of the others - meh.

ouch tough draw for boggo. i haven't seen an oop but he i know boggo is 1st up at 10am, and i guess on the 'showiest' of the courts. typical for boggo tho, top seed, followed by possibly by a match vs a former top 20 player!

actually the opp is out,
http://www.aegonchampionships.com/1/draws/orderofplay_qsat.asp

ct 2 has back to back brits, with chris followed by slabba. boggo on ct one, follwed by mahut v ram.

evans opens on 10
cox 2nd up on 5.

argh Chris, Evo and Alex all on court at the same time...GREAT it frees me up to watch Slabbers get tonked no.gif

not sure who im gonna watch then...Chris likes (and needs) the support but Evo gives a good chance of a Brit win...while Boggo-Dancevic is obviously a good one especially for the purists with such great techniques on display

I agree that Giraldo is not necessarily a bad draw, but just five Brits (looks like the unusually high cut of last year was no fluke after all) and three of them drawing top four seeds has to be a rubbish draw by anyone's standards!

I'm working on the assumption that Evans is likely to win his first match, thus I will be able to see his second match, while Boggo and Eaton are less likely to win their first matches, so seeing them play first may be a better option.

I need to cross Cox off the list of Brits I haven't ever seen play, so want to catch some of his match, but Slabba probably needs all the support he can get to win a very winnable match.

Jenkins at 209!!!

Had got my hopes up when the Halle cut was a 381, which is a lot better than it has been in the past, that the Queens cut would be lower, but alas, is not the case.

From Colins site (a bit off topic here but thought I'd post it anyway):

Colin and his regular doubles partner Ken Skupski have received a wildcard into the doubles at Queens club w/c 08/06/09 - the pairing hope to build on their success on grass at Nottingham where they will play the final on Sunday before going to Queens

Actually the OOP has been revised and matches are now to be played indoors.

Not surprised - it's a horrible day (I've been standing in the cold watching my son play tennis since 8am!)
