Yes, that's the short version  (come to think of it, it must be an odd day if it's Indiana who has to provide the short version )

OEM has come out in support of Richard:

"Why no wc into qualies for Richard Bloomfield who merits one more than some and he can play on grass. Critical of LTA in past. Co-incidence?

Last year Bloomers qualified and reached semi finals of Newport, beating C Rochus, Giraldo, Harrison. Anyone in GB done anything better?"

Edit: Petch too: "@NeilHarmanTimes v valid point. Can't exactly say he is too old as there isn't a criteria for qualies is there?"

Muzz can't resist a dig LOL ... "@PetchTennis surely you are too old though petch"

Oli: "Just to clarify that I wasnt bein nasty earlier I just meant the speed at which u guys pick up on what we say is phenomenal !"

Nice 'save' (but we are bit bonkers too ... er, speaking for myself, that is )

Happy to see Cox and Evans get a wild card. Cox in particular deserves one, I know he has got most of his points in futures but his improvement over the last 12 months deserves recognition. As for Evans, lets hope this brings him out of his recent slump because until a month or so ago things were looking quite promising.

Good to see the LTA actually trying to support a few more British players this year but I will be very disappointed if Rice and Thornley don't end up with a wild card.

I don't really have much sympathy for Bloomers, I know he did well Newport but he has done bugger all of note since then.

i think its embarrassing dan cox getting a main draw wildcard as all of his results have been at futures level and his performance at queens was poor. i cant believe bloomers hasn't even got one into qualifying i don't understand why the lta seem to have so much against him, they throw main draw wildcards at a guy who has got everything his whole life and is a permanent fixture on the futures tour and cant even extend a qualifying wc to a guy who has hardly got anything and made the semis of an atp and whose game is perfect for grass. also its absolutely unfair how cox can get a main draw wc over even the likes of golding who rose to the occasion at queens against a guy who was 1 point away from winning the whole championship and is an outstanding junior.

Also very disappointing rice/thornley havnt received a doubles one as they seem to be great guys well liked with great attitudes towards the game and have performed exceptionally during the last year and compared to the other doubles players are young and up and coming.

Hope evans/cox play each other first round what an interesting match that would be for both guys :)

who do people think would win evo vs cox first round main draw? predictions please....

i agree...i think evo would win in 5!
