Full draw for the record:-

Daniel Evans [1/340] v Evan Hoyt
Marcus Willis v Patrick Foley [WC]
Jack Findel-Hawkins [WC] v Finn Bass [WC]
Neil Pauffley [WC] v Tom Farquharson [3/481]

Edward Corrie [2/457] v 10 Billy Harris
Luke Johnson [WC] v Lloyd Glasspool
Luke Bambridge v Jonathan Gray
Isaac Stoute [WC] v Brydan Klein [4/499]

 Just as I feared - Finn Bass and Jack FH both end up in Dan's half so chance for them.  This now seems such a pointless exercise.  I'd like to see Jonny Grey come through the other half

I think Bambo will beat Jonny Gray.

Great to see Tom F reappear from nowhere (or uni-land, more likely)

Herman is becoming the new Andrew Castle for me. In fact most of the BBC team do my head in. The Eurosport guys are far more knowledgable than Henman, Castle, Becker etc. Id take Greg over Tim anyday. Also rather have Jamie Baker, Anne Keothavong, Naomi Cavaday etc doing more commentary.

Henman is the classic toff out of touch with reality, he is really starting to annoy me. Can see exactly why he is in there, meets the criteria perfectly.

 I agree Henman is very bland in commentary.  At the end of it you cant really remember if hes said anything at all. Also I once saw him with his wife in Richmond striding along at least ten feet in front of her, completely unconcerned about her trying to catch up; it seemed quite arrogant as no one s bothering him and it put me off. I like Mark Petchy, Peter Fleming and McEnroe doing the commentary. And Rusedski and Annabel Croft are good analysts/post match interviewers. Theres also a female commentafor (cant remember her name) that does quite technical analysi of womens matches: explaining how they need to turn their body slightly differently or adjust their stance etc.

I am sure Evan Hoyt is not happy with the AELTC's decision, nor anyone else in Evo's half of the draw. Marcus may very well get that match up with Evo that he was posting about.

How did Evan Hoyt (GB24) get in above Neil P (GB19) ?

Not sure but is it possible that Evan has used his PR to qualify ahead of Neil ?

Yes, was just going to say I assume that's it. His PR is 547 in next week's Spain 25K entry list.

 I also like the ones you mention plus Andrew Cotter. I enjoyed the Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt stints but they were all too brief (although Hewitt probably still busy playing!)

Ah, that would explain it. To be honest, I'd forgotten that he missed so much time in 2016-2017 as I'd seen his name on the lists so often.

 I think rusedski is one of the experts on the new amazon prime coverage of Queens, the times ran a review of it and gave it good marks.

Rusedski does Eurosport, Sky and the BBC. Mainly on Sky though alongside Annabel - the others are bit parts for the slams

I bet it is because Greg got caught for doping, but got away with it.
