No, not live. They've just released the women's qualifying draw a lot earlier than they said they would (around the same time they did in 2011) but that usually comes out first.

USO now suggesting draw will be released around midnight UK time.

I'm not sure, but memories of previous years and the fact that the women's draw came out before 22.30 BST but the men's draw is not out yet makes me think they do the women's draw at 5 pm local and the men's draw at 6 pm local. Saying midnight BST (i.e. 7 pm local) is to give them some leeway in getting the draws up.

They may have been waiting for the pre-qualifying tournaments to finish. Women's finished a while ago; men's just finished about 45 minutes ago.

Decent 1st round draws for both, I wonder if Evo can keep up his recent form, shall be exciting if he can.

Good draw for both guys. Obviously Devvarman and Kavcic will be favourites to come through the respective sections but both Ward and Evo have a decent chance of qualifying and if not at least winning a round or 2.

Jeff at TennisAbstract has a system that works out full probabilities for all draws based on past results, surface and so on. It always appears to me to give slightly too high a chance of upsets, but he's the kind of person who would keep testing it, so the figures probably mean something.

Anyway, the chances he gives James are 69.3% to reach QR2, 35.9% to make the FQR and 16.8% to qualify.

As for Dan, 45.0% to reach QR2, 13.6% to make the FQR and 5.3% to qualify.

Yes, those things seemed odd to me too. I think the TennisAbstract approach is purely statistical and perhaps doesn't weight form over the last few weeks any higher than form over the previous few months. I don't know whether it takes into account specific head to heads - that particular %age suggests it doesn't!
