Excellent win for Jay - presumably money but no points

It's incredibly hard to find a resource that shows the ranking points for men's grand slam qualifying rounds Jon. However on the OER site, it is showing Jay as having 8 pts for his QR1 win. Actual qualifiers gain 25 pts, but there are points each q round. I think QR2 winners get 15 or 16 pts.

Reach QR2 = 8 points
Reach FQR = 16 points
Qualify for MD = 25 points (plus a guaranteed 10 more for a R1 loss)

I do love the way Jay has gone about his career and particularly, his approach to clay. Yasmin and Curtis have done a wonderful job so far!

Terrific win from Jay. I feared the worst after he dropped the 2nd set but what a way to seal it in the 3rd.

Against Tomic, anything can happen.

Looking at points won at other slams by various players, it does appear to be 8 points and 16 points

Jay is tantalisingly close to his career high.

Cool, thanks all re comments on points. good to see. Any idea what it means money wise?

Liam should be on around 10.20 am UK time tomorrow on court 14.

Where do you begin with Tomic? I hope he accepts the help that he needs to rebuild his career and reputation. I'm not sure what is motivating him to play anymore? On that basis, I think Jay will win esp if it get's close.

Great win Jay. Fingers crossed for R2

Belatedly to the party but great result from Jay - and not an easy match either.

Lovely to have ongoing GB interest. Now go Liam !

(Well done also to young Denolly, ranked about 400, who's just put out John Patrick Smith (not known for his clay court, it's true, but all the same .....)

Liam holds serve to start his campaign
