I'd imagine Baker got in, with WC's to Cox, Evo and Milton?

Hopefully we get qualifiers from section 2 and 4, with 3 points to qualifiers. Would be dissapointed if McGhee managed to get through from section 4 seeing as there's 7 brits in it!

Intriguing match-ups. Be interesting to see who does qualify...

Still no sign of the main draw.

It is hardly a big deal but yet again it shows the LTA in a poor light.

It makes them look amateur. There are 5 challengers next week and the draws are out for 4 of them.

British challengers start a day later then the rest of the world, so the draw comes out a day later. Simples.

I accept that the draw will be out later due to the later start but there is still no reason why the draw cannot be out by now.

The LTA seems hopeless at keeping tennis fans informed of news in a timely manner.

No. In some British Challengers, the main draw isn't made before Sunday night.

Wrexham, for example - http://stevegtennis.com/factsheets/2007/ch-wrexham.htm





You're preaching to the converted if you're complaining about the LTA's lack of proper organisation, mind it. smile.gif But it's possible that this particular case is not an example of it.

I don't think having a late draw is anything bad, to be honest. Sure, getting SEs is very difficult, but then you can argue that if any British player is eligible for a Friday SE, they would get a wild card anyway and this ensures (slightly) more British participation. Also, Futures players (who represent the majority for GB, anyway) and the students (i.e. Juniors) benefit if the process takes place on a weekend.


I'm sure you can raise a few good points as to why the draw should be made earlier, but I don't think there'll be anything damning on either side.

Looking forward to this. Hopefully more success than last year.
