Brydan received a wild card into Wimbledon qualifying last year but that was after coming through the play offs. That is the only one he has received.

Yes, I thought that and had actually since double checked it. But basically he earned that one on clearly understood criteria, was not given it. Rather difficult I imagine to not allow him to take part in the Q WC play-offs and then not award him the prize from these.

Expecting T4K to withdraw from Manchester given he has made 3rd round and played very long 5 setter, which would put Liam in and probably give Milts a wildcard.

Still remaining at RG:

T4K- singles, mens doubles

Dodig - men's doubles

Pospisil - men's doubles

Naomi B and Katy D given wildcards for Eastbourne, although Naomi is 2nd alt and a couple of girls still at RG. That means two wildcards still to allocate, presumably to those not originally entered. Laura Robson?
Other one may be dependant on how Harriet gets on tomorrow.

both Liam and Brydan have now made main draw at Manchester due to a withdrawal and 2 SEs clearing, so two wildcards to be re-allocated.

MEN'S SEED WATCH:

Manchester CH - Doesn't look like Wardy will get a seeding, he's the 12th highest ranked player at the tournament.

Bosnia F4 - Oluwatobi Alli-Fulania is one of 30 qualifiers.
Egypt F21 - Carter has withdrawn, looks like Alex Jhun will be the 2nd seed in qualifying.
Israel F7 - Toby Martin should be the 7th seed, Strachan only just sneaked into the MD. Josh Paris will be 4th seed in qualifying.
Mexico F5 - Samuel Beddow has withdrawn.
Mozambique F1 - Curtis Clarke has snuck in as final MD acceptance, Jay Clarke will be top seed in qualifying. 26 qualifiers.
Portugal F8 - No seedings, Hughes and Morisson have a 42-strong qualifiying draw to navigate.
Slovenia F1 - Alex Ward will be seeded 2nd.
Spain F16 - Aswin Lizen will be 5th seed in qualfiying. Oishi has withdrawn.
Turkey F22 - Jonathan Gray will be 1st seed in qualfiying.

Hi Brad,
Just a few things to note, for ITF, it's top 20(assuming no SE), 4 wildcards and 8 qualifiers. So in Mozambique the Clarkes are 17 and 18 on the acceptance list and will be in the main draw.

In terms of seeding, it's quite hard to predict, as you don't know the wildcards and their respective rankings and the acceptance list ranking is 6 weeks old(?) whereas the ranking for seeding is taken from the week before the event starts.

Noted.

...I had fun anyway.

EWS and Harriet have got the remaining wildcards for Eastbourne although I would expect Naomi B to sneak in (2nd alt) and free up a wildcard for Tara or Cav

indiana · Tennis legend

That's fair enough re EWS and Harriet over Tara and Cav, and currently how I would be thinking for another rather bigger tournament starting at the end of June.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Is there any news re. Dan Evans? Seems to have gone very quiet after his trip to Egypt.

indiana · Tennis legend

As per the British Tour 2015 thread Evo has been playing in the British Tour event in Felixstowe this week, presumably to get his eye in on grass.

Plays ( or probably has already played ) Joe Salisbury in the final.

RJA · Hall of fame

I would very much hope to see Dan in the qualifying draw here although with the FA Cup final being played tomorrow night I fear that tennis might not be his No1 priority this weekend.

wimdledont · Challenger level

The qualifying draw is out for Eastbourne. It looks like NaomiC and Fran Stephenson also have MD wildcards.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Just looking at Manchester challenger on LTA site, looks like they are charging £7.50 per day, no onsite parking and no tickets available for weekend. May well put people off.
