ATP Eastbourne Entry List

JonH · All-time great

The thing worth noting here is that with 3 direct entries, I suspect that Eastbourne has no real need for other Brits to play in the event. It is only a 28 draw. With Wimbledon Qualies in the same week, my thought is that any lower ranked Brits will try and play in that event on wild cards to Wimbledon qualies and we will probably have no wild cards into Eastbourne from among the lower ranked British players.

I suspect Queens could be similar, wildcards to Dan, Kyle (Aljaz? - I would but guess the LTA wont ) if they dont move up from their alt places but I dont think anyone else deserves one. Probably much better for all the Brits ranked below 200 to focus on the Challenger events this grass court summer and try and get some matches and wins at that level.

Wonder if James Ward might get a wildcard to Queens if he is back and fit?

(Not saying that he should, just that he may well).

Some brits will get main draw WCs for Wimbledon therefore will be available to play at Eastbourne. Cameron Norrie and Jay Clarke would seem most likely to belong in this group, Marcus also a possibility due to his success last year.

James Ward does have history of doing well at Queens (once) so they might look on him favourably. Typically Queens tend to give one or more WCs to non-brits, and have often favoured younger brits rather than gone purely on ranking.
