Do the guys get tomorrow off ?

Nope, though it looks as though, if Liam gets past Albot tomorrow (play having finished for the day), he won't have to play his QR2 match as well.

Well Done the lads. Three through already!

No 3rd set TBs in qualifiers is a joke, really. No good for anyone.

Vanni just realized there's no third set tiebreak. Everyone laughing, Ungur included. Luca was ready to return after he won 1st point on 6-6

As you say, even the players can't remember and aren't best happy

Well done to our three blokes today - and good luck to everyone tomorrow !

Surely just one other player could drop out before all the matches kick off tomorrow?

To have Dan S miss out by ONE lousy place last year, and Ed miss out by one lousy place this year is just too sad . . . (after all, we don;t have that many that we can afford to drop one by the wayside - if France were true gentlemanly hosts, they'd ask one of their players to quit - after all, they can afford to lose a couple . . .

)

Incidentally, lovely (as always) to see Andy tweeting his support for all four, including Brydan, who incidentally was rooming with Liam and Bambo, I think (or staying sort of together, or whatever) when in Uzbekistan. Hopefully, there's a good vibe in the GB camp tonight and they can feed off each other . . .

I think it's Indiana who has berated wildcards in GS. I'm starting to agree when they go to players like Chung who can't even compete it is a waste!!!

The same Chung who is only 19 and is already ranked 69 in the world ?

Yes, sorry was meant tonge in cheek...

Can't understand why Chung needed a WC into Qualies. Did he forget to enter ? He ended up as top seed in qualies.

Whatever happened, it didn't do him much good as Jared Donaldson beat him 0&1 !!!!!!!

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

From what I understand he entered the for the main draw but forgot to enter for qualifying.

indiana · Tennis legend

I don't think you have to enter the main draw, you are 'entered'. But Chung was outside the top 100 at entry date, didn't make the cut and forgot to enter qualifying.

As a berater of Slam MD QCs, but certainly NOT QUALIFYING WCS, I am happy for him

It's good that up and coming players who might not make the qualifying cut ( or forget! ) are given a chance to qualify for what should be the elite. I certainly wouldn't want to see potential stars denied any chance.

And even home players coming through ( when they occasionally do ) the Q WC route will have earned a MD place by qualifying for it.

Always happy to again clarify my position

Liam's match has resumed . . .

Play suspended at 3-2 in TB ??????

Miriambee · Futures level

Nobody else's play is suspended - is this a medical time out?

or the scoreboard stuck?
