Dodgy call for James on break point at 5-5, looked a certain double fault, didn't recover well and lost set 7-5. Dustov seems to have run his injury off and moving a lot better now.
Evo just started practicing with querrey, Ward was with Hewitt earlier.
Dom for a qwc for Wimbledon, if he wasn't playing doubles in Eastbourne ? Sorry, not for me. How many singles matches has he played / won this year ?
I have no doubt that he could maybe do something in qualifying. But, for me, these should be going to players like Dave, Marcus and Oli, who are committed to trying to progress in singles.
Unless I missed it, there seems to be no summary, so here it is.
QR1: (wc) Miles Bugby WR 1541 lost to Luke Saville (AUS) WR 233 by 3-6 7-5 6-1
QR1: James Marsalek WR 775 beat Keelan Oakley WR 1300 by 7-6(2) 2-6 6-1

Some close matches and lots of close sets against much higher-ranked opposition but I make that 1-12 in GB v non-GB matches and no ranking points A very good career best scalp for Myles though!

As usual I am left with the thought that if some of these guys could play as well as it looks like they did today on a more consistent basis they would be ranked a lot higher.
I thought Queen's tweeted that the main draw wasn't due out until Sunday (though that surprised me at the time) but it turns out it did come out on Saturday. Some interesting draws for the GB wild cards:
L56: (WC) James Ward WR 168 v Blaz Rola (SLO) WR 97 (CH 94 last month)
L56: (WC) Dan Evans WR 134 v Jürgen Melzer (AUT) WR 56 (CH 8 in 2011)
L56: (WC) Dan Cox WR 225 v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) WR 89 (CH 49 in 2011)
Rola is of course the player James beat 4-6 6-4 12-10 in the final qualifying round at Roland Garros last month!
