O god - you knew Robert would come back to haunt us.

Eaton has got Robert then Mannarino boo :( but potentially if he gets that far, poor Patience has to play him again in Round 3

Bloomers must be chuckling into his cornflakes at the sight of his draw...the lowest big seed (q16) too

Hi - wondering if someone could help!
I plan to go to watch the qualies on thursday but can't find directions to the venue in Roehampton.

Can anyone help?

Cheers!!!

thanks mate! Lets hope there are still some brits to watch by then!

does it cost money to attend?

Not the greatest draw in the world, but there is enough hope that we can get a few players into the second round at least.

Tough start for Willis and he will do well to get through the first round against Delic. If he does that, then Stakhovsky will probably have too much for him anyway.

Slabba is in a very nice section of the draw as there is no-one there who is particularly special on a grass court and if he plays like he did at Queens, then he's got every chance of making it. Should win his first match at least, and then go from there, but a rematch with Giraldo would be nice.

Don't remember Sidorenko doing a lot on a grass court so hopefully Milton can give him a good match, but it's a struggle to see him winning it. Good luck to him anyway.

Chuidinelli is a decent draw for Dan but he'll have to play to his best to do so. He's not got the worst section in the world, but it's a push to see him qualifying from it.

Robert may be a Brit-basher but Eaton should be able to have enough for him if he plays like he did last year. He's been warming up for this on the clay so won't have much grass court practice under his belt. Mannarino and then Patience isn't the best route for qualifying again though.

Cox could upset Niland, but his run won't go much further than that as Amritraj should be far too good for him on a grass court. It would be a good test of his game though.

Bloomers is in a good section of the draw but obviously the fact he hasn't played a match for a while is going to be a problem. If he was fully fit then he'd have a good chance of qualifying, but that may not be the case given his fitness.

Also... can someone text me the results of the British players tomorrow as at Eastbourne I won't be able to find out the scores? Thanks to anyone who can do this.

Kinley, it's not the easiest place to get to, with no train or bus station that close. If you're coming in on the tube then it's a 10 minute bus journey from Hammersmith followed by a 10 minute walk, slightly uphill past the NTC. If you're using mainline trians the bus journey is only a few minutes from Barnes station, but there is still a bit of a walk.
