Well done on remembering the hyphen, Bob! smile

Hmm, I wonder what Nick will turn up.

And the other two could certainly have been better.

Copy/Paste from the Qualifying thread. Just deleted the word Qualifying. Didn't even see the hyphen, if I am honest disbelief

Given his antics last week, I wonder if he will be allowed to turn up.

Kyles projected route. Tough to see him getting any further than last year with Thiem hovering in R3, but given Kyle's form on clay so far, I would settle for him getting that far right now.

Chardy
Janvier or Cuevas
Thiem
Monfils
del Potro
Djokovic
Nadal

Evans' projected route.

Verdasco
Hoang/Dzumhur
Monfils
Thiem
del Potro
Djokovic
Nadal

Cam's projected route

Kyrgios
Lajovic
Zverev A
Fognini
Djokovic
Thiem
Nadal

JonH · All-time great

Tough for Kyle. One win would be good, chardy and cuevas both decent players. Evo v Verdasco, v tough. Fancy cam over nick k though

Kyle is 1-1 in the H2H against Chardy. I saw Kyle beat him in Barcelona a couple of years back.

Tough match still, chardy is doing well this season

Obviously would like Nick to go deep here given hes such a fantastic entertainer - sorry Cam.

Kyle - meh - my comments on the Monte Carlo thread still apply.

Leaves Evo who I would desperately like to see win as one of the few players who runs Nick K close (if not exceeds him). If Verdasco wants to play he will win unfortunately seeing as its on clay.

I have edited out the last bit of this post. Allegations of illegality with name(s) are not for this forum.

Nick - assuming he turns up like the player he can be - will beat Cam.
Nando - depending on which one turns up will be tough for Dan. How is Dan with lefties?
Chardy to beat Kyle. Sorry, Kyle's form has been less than ideal. Hope I am wrong of course.

Zero from 3. Dan has the best chance here. I kind of right off the 6 or 7 weeks of dirt in the year, more so on the womens. Plenty of grass practice a good thing.

On the women's side it is good that Jo and to a lesser extent Katie Swan didn't write off the clay season

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Quite.

I'd say Cam, mostly because we don't know which Nick will turn up.

But Clayta has proved us all wrong this year.
