As said, my 'cunning plan' is that I am hoping he's here with his Dad to showcase himself off to the LTA. Not holding my breath but you never know......
Oli will get an SE now won't he, as will Finn. So there are two WC's freed up for the BT people?
As Roehampton qualifying starts on Sunday, the players need to reach the final to qualify for a SE. I'm not even sure that Oli would be able to take one, as he is currently 87th on the alternate list for qualifying.
Well it would be a shame if the LTA throw more resources around someone like Evan. Not that I have anything against him but as a general principle if we are trying to establish some sort of depth to British tennis, the likes of Sean Hodgkin a home grown player outside the LTA bubble of excellence who has established some sort of pedigree through the British Tour with little or no junior ITF record should get some developmental support in the first instance. Essex have just won the 1st division of the county cricket championship impart through the efforts of a management recruitment consultant finally getting a break after setting the Essex League alight with Chingford.

Great see Oli get the win, fantastic effort from Ryan
Be interesting to see who receives wildcards next week, Sean Hodkin is owed one for a British Tour, Brandon Murphy from the Nationals and then there's the youngsters Draper, Mchugh and Loffhagen who are the current LTA favourites.
Ryan, Finn and Oli all deserve one on this weeks performance!!!

As long as you are on an entry list, then you can claim an SE
