Kyle isn't in the doubles draw at all - must have changed his mind

Perhaps he is protecting the knee.

Joe & Ram have Garin & Schwartzman. Luke and Jonny have the Bryan Bros. Ken & Dan have Young guns FAA and De Minaur.

You would think Joe and Ram should win that. Garin is very inexperienced on grass. The others on the other hand...no

Hard set of matches, hard to predict any of them, but al quite attractive match ups. Should be a good tournament

Jack seemed absolutely fine in his singles today. He was rubbing/stretching his left leg everso slightly, but I didn't take that to be anything serious at all. Might be wrong, of course.....

Maybe I must missed him but I did note that although I saw everyone else (I think) training this morning, I didn't see Cam (although, as said, maybe he'd booked later in the afternoon, for some reason).

I'd expect Dan & Ken to win their match if Dan is fit and well rested which he might not be.

What I dont get is why they introduce doubles qualies at 500 level, makes no logical sense.

They introduced it as a way to help bridge the impossible gap to get from 250 to 500 level (500 cuts are normally about the same as Masters level).

As I've said before, how much it helps I'm not sure. For one thing letting players use their singles ranking goes against the whole point of the system. To make an example of the absurdity of the system, the Roland Garros runners-up are in qualifying here, and it would have been the same if they used their current rankings.

QR1:  (qWC) Jack Draper & Cameron Norrie UNR (0+201) vs (q2) Robert Lindstedt & Artem Sitak (SWE/NZL) CR 102 (57+45)

The q1s are Jérémy Chardy & Fabrice Martin, who play Marco Cecchinato & Fernando Verdasco.  Tough draw!

Chardy & Martin qualify.

Interesting (after some of the knocks it gets on this forum) to hear him say that Queen's is one of the best tournaments on the ATP tour and everyone who works there is so nice.  One of my sons had very happy experiences working there in his University holidays for a couple of years.

 Most of the people who work and go to Queens will probably be distracted voting for Boris. Its full of tories essentially. Very elite and selective club its fair to say.

 

 Surprised you want to make that point in reply to two comments saying how well run the tournament is and how nice the people who work there are!!

Andy was practising with Dodig (I think, that's what someone told me anyway) and against Bruno and Buno's new partner (Pavic?) Andy and Bruno had a lovely hug and a short convo before beginning practice.

 I think Bruno is really good  friends with the Murray's as a family I believe, which probably made the split with Jamie harder to do but quite mature in the doing of. It was great seeing him win  at the weekend  in Holland

 Being honest I think Jamie is/was the weak link and not Bruno. It seemed to coincide with the knee injury which hopefully is not an issue anymore and I would like to see his new partnership with Neal progress.

Anyway,Bruno is lovely.
