I know this is a while away but the Newport list is out and the Brits on the Alt list are Boggo, Bloomers and Eaton whom will all play qualifying i'd presume. Obv same week as DC so that would rule out Wardy, Baker and Cox most likely. Hopefully we can repeat the performance by Brits we had last year, but i'd doubt it ha!
Queen's main draw WCs to James Ward, Dan Cox and Oli Golding. (LTA announcement this morning)
David Nalbandian and Ryan Harrison get the other two.
i guess as expected, obvisuly Queens has always had more leeway on WC selection, but the LTA themsleves ahve been gioving out WC's elsewhere themsleves recently. hopefully we've got a swap deal lined up for Harrison somewhere along the line.
Bit of a shame to waste one on Nalby, but i guess that the luxry that a top player has earnt.
be interetsing to see what golidng can do, over the more recent years none of the lower brits have made much of an impact at Queens, how's goldings game suited for grass?

How many doubles WC's? Let hope they go to Brits as I worry they may go to higher ranked those from foreign shores who just fancy the court time. Its a big opportunity for the Brits outside the cut-offs.
Fairly happy with those wild cards. Can't argue with Ward or Cox and Golding is quote a bold pick. Harrison is also not a bad pick at all and while Nalbandion getting one grates a little I can't complain too much.
I see Andy supposedly pairing up with Jamie. But I'd be very surprised if Andy played at all at Queens.
Given he says he suffered a slight tear in the ankle tendon as well as a sprain I would have imagined that he would want to get through his remaining time at Roland Garros with hopefully no real aggravation then basically rest up for at least the Queens week.
Hopefully Jamie rent a partner can still find someone to play with.
