Draw above, I'm sure Steven will be along shortly to give a far more conclusive preview! smile

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Full Qualifying Draw

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

evo is also involved he is in the last section (16th seeds) section, who he was hammered by in aussie qualies. btw he is down to play 30th seed in second round if he gets there. sounds like a great draw, however that seed is berankis :(, and even if he is upset first round, he shall face harrison

spud · Challenger qualifying

Eaton has one of the better draws. If were looking at qualifying.

I think both the seeds in his section are beatable on grass if he plays well.

Shame Boggo has Mahut in his section.

Goodall, maybe? If he actually plays well, he has the easisest seeds i would say.

Doesn't seem to be a great deal of grass court experience amongst those opponents.

Boggo has a horrible draw - Mahut in R2

Smidster · Challenger level

Eaton does seem to have the better of the draws

Roko doesn't have a great record against Brits and has lost twice to BBD this year but did qualify at Wimbledon last year including a win over Slabba.

Josh · Challenger level

Why has Milton been picked ahead of Golding? I reckon we could get 5 into the 2nd round - Rice, Goodall, Wardinator, Boggo and Evo.

spud · Challenger qualifying

I'd go with the following to make it through 1st round.

Goodall
Eaton
Boggo
Evo

When a slot becomes available for a British QWC at the last minute the standard procedure is to give it to the highest ranked player in the last round of pre-qualifying. That is Josh Milton - Ollie took part and lost at an earlier stage.

Oh yeah, I was thinking Evo beat Golding in the final when actually he beat Pauffley. Makes sense to give it to Milton ahead of Pauffley I guess who I think is over-ranked by a couple of hundred places.

Its a shame because them 2 are probably in the top 5 for players on grass in the quali draw.
It would be huge if Boggo qualified.

Just looking at the strength of these slam qualies, I'm quite proud to say some brits have actually managed to qualify for a slam in the past. They're always soo strong!

Anyone going tomorrow?
