Shouldn't think they will draw it until 9ish tonight. Usually in British events the main draw doesn't start until Tuesday

Draw hasn't been made, no? In British Challengers, the qualy and main draw comes out on Saturday. The cut has fallen further since Seagull last reported. Bloomers withdrew and Baker is a withdrawal away, but I don't think he'll get in.


I suppose Coxy is a shoe in for a WC. Wonder if Evans will get one? I'd personally like to see him in qualies.



Pleased that Cox will play Salzburg after this instead of a Futures. Perhaps a lesson was learned when he skipped the last California Challenger (where he would have been seeded to qualify) for a presumably weaker Futures, only to draw Ebden there.

I know that it's of no real surprise but not having put the draw up by Sat afternoon is so amateur.. hmm

Why would the qualifying draw be up by Saturday afternoon when qualifying sign-in is Saturday evening? confuse

Surely the MD can be released without the qualifiers placed, right?

I think the main reason that I felt like lamenting the lack of a release is that other tournaments always seem to release their draws an age before their British counterparts.  For example, next week's challenger in Germany has already put up the QS and MDS - do you happen to know Steven if European tournaments tend to bring forward the QS entry deadline?

C'mon, I think it would be pretty unusual to release a MD before the QD.

I do certainly think the LTA are far from perfect but give them a break, eh  smile

Yep, in some GB Challengers, the MD is made before the qualies draw.

Cardiff, for one - http://stevegtennis.com/factsheets/2007/ch-cardiff.htm

OK, fair dos, I didn't realise that.  Be good anyway that when each draw is made the info is available asap.  I do certainly agree they can be slow in releasing info such as certainly results.

Oh you meant the main draw - yes, most ATP main draws are done on Fri (often before the Q draw) or Sat and most Challenger draws are done on Saturday, but in GB Challengers, both qualifying and the main draw tend to start a day later.

I've noticed that as far as Futures go, Futures in the UK and Germany tend to have a Saturday sign-in and a Tuesday main draw start, whereas most other countries have a Friday sign-in (Thursday if there are 4 rounds of qualifying) and a Monday main draw start. Germany seems to go a day earlier for Challengers, GB doesn't.

Qualies draw - http://www.lta.org.uk/Global/Downloads/Results/2010/AEGON%20Pro-Series/Loughborough%20NOV/Mens%20singles%20qualifying.pdf


I wonder if Baker (or maybe even Evans) has somehow managed to sneak in? None of the guys immediately below Junaid are there in qualies.
