With the exception of Marzi beating Gabb that is all pretty much as expected although I thought Harry would have pushed Lewis a bit closer.

Don't think Marzi result that surprising still think Gabb is overranked and James under but James form has been dreadful recently so maybe this will be the turnaround. Hoping Neil and Lewis get through I think they would have the best chance in qualifying.

How many places are available ? Is it both finalists that go through ?

Yes, the final isn't played

Two are guaranteed (ie the two finalists).

But there are 4 qualifying wildcards left so they could obviously give all four (or three) to these players.

I think Brydan might qualify

I decided as in London yesterday afternoon to pop in to watch the last few matches. I didn't have a problem getting in, entry is at gate 20 car park 4. I arrived to see most of Harry v Lewis, some of Rhett v Rob and all of Josh v Jathan.

Lewis v Harry - Lewis looked in control throughout the match, big serve and volley and moved easily around the court. He is a very good player on this surface and I would say he has a good chance of taking one of the qualifying places. Harry tried hard but wasn't a match for Lewis on this occasion..

Rhett v Rob - I didn't watch much of this as I was as it was played on the other side to the other two matches but I couldn't help turning around as Rhett showed his disappointment. Rhett is a big boy for his age, he played some very good points but wasn't consistent enough and the longer the rally went on I felt Rob would come out on top.

Josh v Jathan - Jathan should have won this match. He played very well in the first and second set, he has a good serve and volleys well. He looked in control but at a set and 4 all he played a bad service game and let Josh back in to the match. Jathan looked tired in the third set, Josh played well but I would say he didn't beat Jathan, Jathan lost this match. I don't know where Jathan trains but I think he could be an outstanding player if he could get a good fitness program, he is definitely one to watch.

Brilliant Sofa !!! I'm dead impressed. It says clearly 'not open to the public' - did anyone ask you ? Go for it - showing a healthy disregard for officialdom, I salute it.

(And interesting v Lewis, I thought last year he was a natural on grass, and re Jathan who I've never seen but some other people rank highly too - Jathan, get your fitness programme in place!).

Thanks, sofa.

Jathan - I believe is based in the Sutton area.
