Josh Sapwell tweets:

Make that 8!!! [victories in a row] 󾌴 6-2 6-4. First round of main draw tomorrow. Draw comes out tonight so I'll let you guys know who I get later.

That's a very convincing win against a guy ranked WR 645 in the world !!!!!!

The 'long shot' bet might come good...... way to go, Josh !

Yes, as I was indicating in the entries thread, potentially very slim pickings.

Rice DA and Hoyt, O'Mara, Ward-Hibbert and Gray WCs?

Well, not Jonathan Gray, who has got a WC into Tunisia.

That makes me think that they have given the wildcard to someone who didn't enter on time. Ed Corrie?

Didn't we say Bruce Strachan might have got one?

Not on this thread...

Very annoying how slow they are putting results and draws on the ITF site.

And still we have "nada" (nothing).

Where oh where is Topemp when we need him most. Posting results for us has to be more important than the day-job.

Judging from tweets flying around, Josh Sapwell and Liam both made it through and will play each other in R1.

No, it was on the week's entry thread.

But, yes, you'd think they could enter the results a bit more promptly !!!!!!!

Glad that Liam got through too. So that's Liam, Neil and Josh S for definite.

Fingers crossed for the others....

Results are now on the ITF site. Scott Clayton also made it through FQR but Ryan Storrie missed out. The other matches were all non-Brit affairs.

So only Jonny and Josh WH of the players mentioned get the WCs.

Ewan Moore gets one (the Scottish vote - we knew it would be there somewhere) and Patrick Rosenholm has a PR.

(Still one free space though)

Bit GB top half heavy that draw with quarters having at the moment in order 4 Brits, 5, 3 and 1 (Ewan)

paulisi · Tennis legend

Neil has a nasty draw - Smethy and then Bambo

We should get a finalist out of the top half. Bottom half looks a bit tougher.

A bit worried about Evan Hoyt. Was expecting him to get a WC here but no sign of him at all. Add that to the fact that he retired in his last match in the British Tour a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't sound good.

He has had so much injury that I really hope it hasn't struck again, particularly after his breakthrough spell at the end of last year.

Only three WCs named so far though (JWH, Johnny O and Ewan M) so maybe that last spot is for Evan. Fingers crossed.
