Entries - Week 6 -08/02/2016

DF · Tennis legend

EWS in qualifying for Taiwan Open

RJA · Hall of fame

Kyle has withdrawn from Memphis qualifying as he will still be playing his Dallas SF after the sign in deadline. Evo takes his place in the draw but if he wins his Dallas SF he will also have to withdraw.

As I previously mentioned Kyle would have made the Memphis main draw had he entered it.

Brydan would actually get in qualifying if he could get across from Australia in time

Jaffa · Challenger level

Brydan is injured

Oakland2002 · All-time great

I am still hoping Dan doesn't make it, a 60 point haul from a Challenger (and a real chance of a ton) final being much harder to get close to at Memphis given the quality of the opposition in Memphis even with 35 points in the bank before Evo v Ito

I wonder if Liam will be playing Sunderland - not on the entry list, but is playing Shrewsbury the following week and whether he takes a wildcard or a qualifying wildcard.

If I remember correctly, in his interview on the Britennis Podcast, he did say he was playing Sunderland and Shrewsbury.

Edit

Just checked back on the Podcast and he does say Sunderland and Shrewsbury.

Alexis Canter is on the Q list for Sunderland but still playing juniors in Tunisia tomorrow (and potentially Sunday) - wonder if he'll ask for a MD wildcard

still no qualifying draw for Perth even though the main draw matches are scheduled to start tomorrow night!

Just come up.

Lisa gets an unknown player in QR1 but is likely to get Sara Tomic in QR2.

No Freya in the Qs

Can Freya have claimed an SE spot in the main draw, based on the fact that the qualification draw was made with her team still playing in the Fed Cup?

The team was settled on Thursday ( at the latest ) though with no substitution. So I don't see that one.

And looking at who is in qualifying she certainly hasn't got directly into the MD. So I think it's a WC or something's gone awry.

Two of our players unfortunately lost out in round 1 of the qualis:

Joe Cooper in Azerbaijan, losing 3-6 3-6

and Luke Simkiss, in Tunisia, losing 4-6 3-6

Gutted none of our guys ended up going to Memphis, the draw is on the weak side to put it mildly with the exception of Nishikori. Aljaz would have been the 3rd or 4th seed if he was there.

Just in general it seems on the mens and womens sides our players don't take advantage of weaker events at ATP and WTA level, I remember being perplexed by Heather's approach last year where she would get knocked out early in a Premier event then not play for a few weeks whilst those around her in the rankings picked up hatfuls of points at International events. Is this is a trend with our players or is it just me?
