Theres no reason why he cant beat Dent, Im not sure how Alex plays, but if he can return really well, then he has a very good shot as Dent revolves around his serve.

I'll tell her to leave when he plays his match. She'll probs wanna see Tursunov anyway. Apparently he's "beyond hilarious"

Grey shirt, combat pants (Yes, I've decided on my outfit! wink

) - and now sporting a gleaming sunburnt face; those bloomin' fast moving clouds (over 2mph I hear today hmm

)

Same applies to you, don't be a stranger!

got to be the queens WC's right there too?

I'd normally say they ought to take into account the draws too (since it would seem pretty unfair to reward one player with a WC on the basis of one lucky draw and deny one to another, possibly higher-ranked player, because they'd had a dire draw the same week), but in this case they all had tough draws and Wardy actually beat Josh, so I'd agree that the three Brits in R2 have done the best this week whichever way you look at it.

Then again, would the Wardinator have a decent chance against a top 100 player? Probably not at this point (impressive as he's been this week) so maybe a QWC would serve him better in the long run, opening up a main draw WC spot for someone like Baker or Smethurst.

Another thing that I think ought to be taken into consideration (but never seems to be) is that the sensible people to give Eastbourne main draw WCs to are players who are also getting Wimbledon main draw WCs, so as not to force players to choose between accepting an Eastbourne main draw WC or playing Wimby Q. So if the LTA want to give some players 2 MD WCs but not 3, I think they should give them for Eastbourne & Wimby, not Queen's & Wimby.

Also, despite Queen's being higher profile than Eastbourne, I'd say MD WCs for the latter are more valuable, because not only do you have more chance of getting a winnable R1 draw there (because the draw is so much weaker, even taking into account the larger draw size at Queen's), you also get more points for winning a R1 match in Eastbourne because of the different draw sizes.

LOL good move (tho possibly not the same shirt ...) - I think Lady T (why did Hoss writing it that way make me think "U turn if you want to, the Lady's not for turning" LOL) needs to learn to stop using posh words like "outfit" and "choosing" if she wants to be considered a true BT.net Challengers/Futures fan. wink

(only joking, LT)

Have fun anyway, wish I was joining you but Notts is the wrong side of London for me.

Shhh · Challenger level

Those at or, going to Nottingham. Is the British Tour taking place on the same site? If so have you taken in any of those matches as well?

I don't know about that. I had nightmares in the night that once I got to Nottingham train station, I then got completely lost trying to find the tennis centre, and now I'm a bit freaked out. Anyone fancy doing a lady a kind turn and meeting her at the station around 11:30am so she gets to the tennis promptly instead of spending hours walking around Nottingham in circles? I'll be wearing brown/black today, as I said I have brown hair, long, which I'm wearing loose, about average in height. Anyone? Pretty please?!

EDIT: I'll be the one looking lost and rifling through print-off maps.
