spud · Challenger qualifying

If he plays well enough Eaton should win the title. Its only the final where he will have a tough match really (Goodall,Evo,Inglot)

My odds make Josh slight favourite over Evo.
Ebelthite is the dangerous floater, he's an Aussie who's played loads on grass over the years, (including a run to the semis in the Irish challenger). He didn't play for 6 months of 2009. Luckily for the Brits he's in Vardhan's part of the draw!

Ebelthite got wasted by a Dr No last week tho

SMC1809 · All-time great

Josh a favorite over Evo, even though Evo beat him last week on the same surface. It will be interesting to see the outcome if they both manage to reach the semis.

I'm not sure whether Akhenaten's calculations take surface into account, and I'm pretty sure they don't take individual H2Hs into account directly, in which case those are things we need to factor in ourselves. Other than that it makes sense though - Evo's win last week was a narrow one, suggesting that the odds should be close, and before that, he had failed to take a set off Josh in three previous meetings, one of which was just a few weeks ago.

Yeah, Ricey did great last week beating Willis, Ebelthite and Vardhan.
Though not too sure a 7-6(8) 6-3 win is a wasting!

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

No excuses for Evo not to make the semis here considering his excellent draw in that Dan Cox must be one of the worst players in the top 1,000 at the moment.

Any time a sports score involves GB > AUS it is a wasting

johnnylad · Tennis legend

(other way round is always a lucky break in a tight match)

Probably would expect another British winner here and given the performances of last week, Evo would be the slight favourite to take the title, although the confidence Eaton/Inglot gained from their Wimbledon doubles run could make them dangerous players.

That's a bit harsh - he probably was one of the worst players in the top 550 before his 256-place drop on Monday when the points for his Gausdal win came off, but he's probably now under-ranked, beat Willis and Zemlja in Queen's qualifying and most of his recent losses have been in 3 sets and/or against decent players.
