GB 2 Aljaz ineligible

GB 3 Kyle rumoured to be ready to pull out of Queens with his stomach injury issue

GB 4 James pretty poor form continuing and rumoured to be maybe carrying a niggle / injury

GB 5 Liam relatively out of form

GB 6 Brydan being Brydan

Could be looking better for that second singles spot.

Presumably will still come down to James or Kyle as long as one or both can make the starting blocks.

Dan Evans ?

Bob - you forgot Ed injured, Dan C out of form. Josh Milton should be next surely...

 It doesn't really matter. Once you are getting down to players like this we are once again totally reliant on Andy delivering 3 points.

I guess a lot could depend on what sort of James ( assuming he is fit to get there ) shows up for practice for the Davis Cup, back amongst the Davis Cup guys. I am sure Leon would want to see him showing some sort of form rather than just hope for it to magically reappear in actual Davis Cup matches.

Thanks CD, didn't know.

The doubles does look likely to be pivitol.

Unless we are unexpectedly 2-0 up I see Andy being one of our pair.

Well, Tsonga has withdrawn from Halle, having also decided not to play Hertogenbosch last week.

Stomach muscle injury.

Probably just being careful, before Wimbledon, and all that, but it's a concern for them.

 Isn't Andy playing with Dom this week? Maybe a dry run for DC

Don't know whether it's on here, and the injury is well known, but Julien Benneteau had an operation for an adductor injury a few days ago. Problems in the French camp now, the Press claim, to try and choose the right doubles pair .....

One feels for M Benneteau - and hopes he gets better soon. And I know things are complex and political, etc, etc. But there is a certain degree of humour in the idea of "problems" about choosing a team when you have five remaining top-100 doubles players - including a pair that reached the AO finals and the finals of the most recent grass tournament. And the still-active components of an Olympic silver medal team (Tsonga/Llodra) ... who won on grass, of course. And Gasquet, who won the bronze medal on grass ...

On our side, given the risks that the doubles will be crucial, I can see the argument for having both Mr Inglot and Mr Murray the elder, in case Mr Murray the younger needs to rest.
