Week 23 - Challenger (€127,000) - Aegon Surbiton Trophy, Great Britain - grass
Permalink  

 

Just reading this list from the Live Rankings Schedules page - cant find an actual list but presume this is correct:

 

Lu

Baghdatis

Medvedev

Chung

Brown

Sugita

Youzhny

Thompson 

Copil

Sela (so 10 top 100 players)

Lacko 

Vanni

Marchenko

Stakhovskiy

Bemelmans

Kravchuk

Lee

Polansky

Fritz

Duckworth

Cut off 136. Strong list for a Challenger! Looks like any GB men will need to WC or Qualifiers, Dan, Kyle and Aljaz all obviously not entered. Although many of the list above are also entered into the FO as well...

Here is the full entry list. Brydan is down at 30th alt so will need a wild card. Not sure how a cut off of 133 compares (no doubt will fall) with previous grass challengers but seems a good list. Hopefully Cam Norrie will get a wild card, who else do folks think might get one? Brydan? Jay and Liam?

Entry List
Baghdatis, Marcos CYP 57
Lu, Yen-Hsun TPE 58
Medvedev, Daniil RUS 64
Chung, Hyeon KOR 66
Brown, Dustin GER 75
Sugita, Yuichi JPN 77
Youzhny, Mikhail RUS 83
Thompson, Jordan AUS 88
Copil, Marius ROU 90
Duckworth, James AUS 99
Lacko, Lukas SVK 109
Ebden, Matthew AUS 111
Sela, Dudi ISR 112
Vanni, Luca ITA 121
Marchenko, Illya UKR 123
Stakhovsky, Sergiy UKR 124
Bemelmans, Ruben BEL 126
Bhambri, Yuki IND 127
Kravchuk, Konstantin RUS 129
Fritz, Taylor USA 131
Polansky, Peter CAN 132
Lee, Duckhee KOR 133

Cam must be in line for a wild card, having left college to come over. Brydan and Jay - maybe - not sure whether Liam stands a chance

Ed Corrie may well get one.

It's his neck of the woods, so to speak.

Wonder whether Marcus Willis has asked for one too.

I'd have thought he'd have a great chance if he has.

Forgot about Wilbomb. Yes, you would think Surbiton would be a strong one for him, maybe the Nottingham event the next week as well if he is taking grass seriously this season.

I am conscious this possibly should go in the mens section, if anyone mod wise wants to move it and format the heading to House style, please feel free for this and Nottingham!

Wildcards so far for Dan Evans, Cameron Norrie and Jay Clarke



British tennis stars Dan Evans, Cameron Norrie, Jay Clarke,in a strong line-up of British contenders at next weeks Aegon Surbiton Trophy.

Evans (Solihull), Clarke (Derby), Norrie (London) have all been awarded wildcards into the mens and womens Wimbledon warm up event, played on the grass courts of the Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club 05 June - 11 June 2017.

Entry is FREE for the qualifying rounds this Saturday 3rd June - Monday 5th June and tickets start from £8 for the other days.

Twenty-seven-year-old Evans, ranked 55 in the world, is enjoying the best form of his career, having raced up the rankings since being part of Great Britains winning Davis Cup run at the end of 2015. Evans reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in January this year and enjoys playing on grass. He will be one of the strongest contenders for the mens trophy.

He will enjoy strong competition for the mens ATP Challenger title from German showman (and grass court specialist) Dustin Brown, former Wimbledon semi-finalist Marcos Baghdatis and 19-year-old American wonderkid Taylor Fritz.

Surbiton, which sits in the South-Western suburbs of London, has a long and rich tennis history and some of the biggest stars in tennis have played on its courts, including Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker, Andy Roddick and the Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club (founded in 1881) is one of the oldest tennis clubs in the country.

Got to love this phrase

Evans (Solihull), Clarke (Derby), Norrie (London) have all been awarded wildcards into the men's and women's Wimbledon warm up event,

So if they get knocked out in the 1st round of the men's, they can have a second chance playing in the women's event  wink

A little annoying that a wildcard is wasted on Dan when he could have entered directly. Can't say the change in prize money for this event is going to help many/any of our players.

In case anyone was considering going....I went a few years back and it really is a lovely place to watch quality grass court tennis. I am sure if anyone wasn't sure and went along, they wouldn't be disappointed.

And a bit strange that Dan should wish to go back to Surbiton where he obviously truly hated it last year, complaining about everything under the sun, getting the crowd to boo him, throwing a paddy, and playing abysmally because of it....

Doubt the local crowd have forgotten the fiasco either.....
