2019 Grass Court Season - Which British player will win the most MAIN DRAW SINGLES matches - a Poll!

Paul Jubb winning tomorrow would take him 2nd on his own and maybe a chance for him and Katie to make some ground on dan with Dan losing today

JonH · All-time great

to keep things in perspective, at the end of the week of Queens/Birmingham/Ilkley, the table in 2018 was

32 wins in total with womens 21 and mens 11. This season we have reached 34 wins to date, so up and with Paul and katie Swan still in play we might add more, possibly. And the mens has doubled almost to 20 wins, so cause for optimism there. But the womens is at 14 so down a third on last season. Still I was surprised to see we where still doing better slightly. We managed to then pick up 15 wins at Eastbourne (M+W), Southsea (which Katie B did well in but isnt being played this year) and then Wimbledon, I would be surprised if we matched that this season

1 H. Dart 7
D. Evans 7
3 K. Boulter 4
J. Konta 4
5 J. Ward 2
G. Taylor 2
7 K. Edmund 1
A. Ward 1
H. Watson 1
S.B. Grey 1
K. Dunne 1
K. Swan 1

No change on the above on 19th June, just Katie Swan and paul Jubb left in play (oh and Kyle is still playing it seems)

Sadly no singles wins today and the singles week is over , table as above

JonH · All-time great

So Konta, Watson, Dart and Swan all play Eastbourne and aim to add to their embryonic grass tallys this week; on the mens side Cam, Kyle and Jay look to get a first win, Paul Jubb and James Ward look to join them in the main draw with a following wind and Dan looks to build on his massive lead.

Hopefully some decent play to come this week

No play today, but all of our 4 womens entrants into Eastbourne get to play tomorrow in a 56 draw event, so 6 possible wins away from glory!

4 men (plus 2 possible qualies) play in the mens which is a 28 draw event and thus only 5 wins (apart from Kyle who received a bye as 3rd seed).

JonH · All-time great

So at end of Queens/Birmingham/Ilkley we also get the start of Eastbourne and Jo Konta adds a win to her tally. Still a long gap to Dan, but a little bit more interest behind him

1 D. Evans 10
2 P. Jubb 3
S. Murray 3
4 B. Klein 2
J. Konta 2
H. Watson 2
J. Ward 2
K. Dunne 2
N. Broady 2
R. Peniston 2
11 G. Taylor 1
H. Dart 1
J. Draper 1
K. Swan 1
M. Lumsden 1

20 mens wins and 15 womens and also means JK pulls away further at the top of the 5 year table above

JonH · All-time great

So last season at the end of eastbourne we had reached 42 wins , so with 35 so far this year, 7 more are needed at eastbourne this year. With 6 men left and jo in womens, it is possible but will probably need someone to go on a good run for the week.

Be fascinating to see Paul Jubb go today agains Taylor Fritz. One of only two singles players in action today at Eastbourne, Cam also plays

JonH · All-time great

So shunted to the darker recesses of the board ! Heh! Heh!?

Just Kidding!

And no singles wins to report yet this evening, not sure if Cam will add to the list before close of play?

All play suspended Jon. Cam will play tomorrow along with Jay, James and leading man Dan.

It doesnt sound like Paul was too fascinating v Fritz, how did he play?

Outclassed mostly. Poor 2nd serve % in 1st set, got better but he had chances and broke Fritz. Would say a good learning experience.
