Jay says he is playing RG quals (from instagram stories)

JonH · All-time great

As FW says elsewhere Jay is in Shymkent 80 challenger, wardy is in Aix en provence that week WC 6th may.

Dan seems some way from Rome or Madrid qualies draw so wonder if he may also go for aix to get some decent clay play?

Is it likely that Kyle, Dan and Cam will all play Eastbourne?

I would say it is highly likely, all will avoid qualies obviously and unless they have won lots of matches the previous weeks, cant see that they would not want another week on grass at home. I imagine each of the 3 will play Queens also (expect Dan will get a WC and Cam if he needs one depending on cut), and all 3 should make Eastbourne directly (again, Dan may need a WC). I cant see any of the 3 of them being late in 2nd week of RG (hope this isnt too negative!) and only Dan will probably play Surbiton, depends a little on whether they play in Stuttgart or Rosmalen on grass or in the Nottingham Challenger that same week after RG and feel theyve had enough grass by time of Eastbourne. But my expectation is that all 3 will be at Eastbourne.

Here is the GB entry for Madrid Masters Doubles:

3 Murray, Jamie 8 Soares, Bruno 9 D+D 17
11 Ram, Rajeev 20 Salisbury, Joe 21 D+D 41
13 Edmund, Kyle 155 23 Skupski, Neal 35 S+D 58
19 Bopanna, Rohan 43 Inglot, Dominic 24 D+D 67

Shame Ken isnt high enough to get in with Neal the cut off is 69, and Bambo and Jonny arent there yet either in terms of ranking.

Good to see Joe and Rajeev back in harness together

Thanks for the info on the likely grass court plans for the lads. I've got tickets for Queens and think I'll leave it at that for this year.

Wish I had more holidays from work!

For info, the first grass court entry list is out, for Stuttgart the week after RG

www.menstennisforums.com/6588-mercedescup/962388-stuttgart-entry-list.html

I cant recall last years list and there are no Brits playing here (Nottingham will probably get the Brits) but this is a very strong and attractive entry list IMO

No Federer this year Jon but otherwise seems on par with last year. Archived list is here: www.menstennisforums.com/6364-mercedes-cup/943506-stuttgart-entry-list.html

Cool, thanks - looks strong with 6 in top 20 though v 3 last season (incl Fed) and 69th rank for 19th entrant last year initially versus around 15 places higher. But main thing is there are a lot of attractive players to me and with generally the newer younger next gen guys having attractive more attacking games, I am certainly looking to a very interesting grass season.

JonH · All-time great

And the Dutch event entry is out, another attractive set of players, although not as strong as Stuttgart. No Brits playing in either of these events so it would be great if we see any of Kyle, Cam or Dan in Nottingham and even Surbiton the week before

As much for my own benefit, I thought it worth summarising the schedules as they are currently for the men on the main ATP World Tour, namely Kyle, Cam and Dan.
Dan - Barcelona Qualies, Estoril qualies. Not clear beyond that for Madrid, Rome, Geneva/Lyon, but he will definitely be in Roland Garros. Presumably he will try and get into the qualies in some more of these later in the clay court season.

Tennis on telly @tennisontelly

Dan Evans didn't enter qualifying for Geneva or Lyon, although he would have easily got in either.

3:16 PM - 29 Apr 2019

Guess he might be trying his luck for Madrid?

Thanks FW - says entry cut off is 227, so Jan would be well down from there as well. Looking at previous years, final cut will be 240's so Jan wouldnt get in on that basis at the end of the day. Or Brydan!
