I make Dan 3 out now with Browns withdrawal and Sandgren Wildcard (Unless they give his wildcard to someone else if he gets in by right) otherwise 4 out then.

127 (WC) Rufin, Guillaume (FFT)

FFT = French Federation Tennis

TA = Tennis Australia

Its the slam reciprocal wildcard

Not to be picky (I am, I know) but technically :

FFT = Fédération Française de Tennis

It's exactly what you said, of course, the french tennis federation, but that's the exact name that FFT stands for.

This is what I thought it was and it winds me up something rotten. We give some of our wild cards away to foreign players, or next in the qualies list and others take them, but give nothing back. Theres a good argument for not being able to trade wild cards (an unfair advantage to those countries) but, the way things are at present, GB is the only one at a disadvantage.

You could look it at that way and it is annoying when we give wildcards to players of the three other Grand Slams but I do like the fact that we are different and do award wildcards to foreign players on merit and performance.

Arguing the devil's advocate though (sorry!), all the US players who got MD WCs (except the young U18 champion) are well inside the top WR 250.

i.e. if they'd been British players, they'd have satisfied the criteria and the LTA would have given them all wildcards into Wimbledon too and there wouldn't have been any left over.

It's sad but true that the LTA was slightly scuppered simply because we had so few top 250 players.

(not sure what I think about reciprocal arrangements though - like you, they don't 'feel' quite right - rather like I scrub your back and you scrub mine)

Following two more withdrawals (Falla and Hajek) Dan is definitely in.

Tsonga is also out (as feared and part of the 'French men's tennis playing on one leg' report mentioned on the other thread).

Not needed for Dan of course (see above) but Andy might be grateful (and I guess all other withdrawals bumps up the top players from the qualies into the MD so making life for Dan and James, and the others, just fractionally easier).

That takes David Goffin into the main draw and out of qualifying which is certainly good news. I wouldn't have wanted to see Ward or Evo coming up against him.
