Decent money even with a round one loss so definitely worth the trip if Dan gets in!

Naomi 13th alt doesn't look like she's going to make it.

wolf · Tennis legend

Doubles lists are out. Skupski bros wouldn't have made the cut so Ken teaming with former college team mate Mike Venus. Neal and Bradley Klahn 3rd alt.

As the rankings stand currently, Dom and Treat are 8th seeds, Jamie and John 16th seeds.

Jonny entered with Hanley, Ross and Colin using a PR.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Make that 2nd Alt for Smethurst as Gimeno-Traver has withdrawn this morning

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

What day does the FO qualifying start? I've looked on the website, but all I can find is that the draw is tomorrow.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Tuesday Madeline.

The question is would 2nd Alt usually get in on the Sunday before the draw?

What's the prize money breakdown for qualifying at RG? I'm assuming a couple of grand for turning up would make Wong ready worthwhile. Do we even know if Dan is prepared to play on clay perhaps he's not interested regardless.

I seem to recall Dan S used to play quite a lot on clay a couple of years or so ago. I have memories of him spending quite a lot of time in Portugal and Spain with Morgan Philips.

So maybe he's short of clay court experience of late, but certainly doesn't seem adverse to the dirt.

steven · Tennis legend

Dan S is one of the players I think of (along with the Wards and Kyle) as one of our less clay-averse players - probably because his first two Futures titles (both in 2009) were on clay. It'll be tough going into an event that big without much practice on it though - that's assuming he gets in.

spud · Challenger qualifying

And its quite well known that the RG courts play quick nowadays so that could suit Dan, especially in protecting his slice backhand.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Unless he 's guaranteed to make the cut I doubt Smethy will even consider making the trip. After such a hectic start to the season, playing a huge amount of matches, he probably could do with a few days rest before preparing for the grass. So I'll be shocked if he's in the draw even if has made the cut.

indiana · Tennis legend

If Dan has had no intention of making the trip why would he apparently still be on the list ?
