Week 25 - Wimbledon Mens Wild Card Playoffs


Brydan Klein was able to complete his Ilkley second round match in time to be eligible here, and is top seed

But he and Ryan Peniston are still seeded to play each other in the final match, since Lloyd still has a higher ranking to Ryan, even if it's Ryan with the better results on grass...

Nice to see Billy in the draw. I was wondering if he'd given up?

Disappointing Ryan and Brydan are in same half. Tougher half by far IMO

It is a bit of an uninspiring looking list. This was last year by comparison:

QR1: Daniel Evans [1] 340 v Evan Hoyt 859 PR 547
QR1: Marcus Willis 730 v Patrick Foley [WC]
QR1: Jack Findel-Hawkins [WC] 851 v Finn Bass [WC] 792
QR1: Neil Pauffley [WC] 749 v Tom Farquharson [3] 481

QR1: Edward Corrie [2] 457 v Billy Harris 644
QR1: Luke Johnson [WC] 766 v Lloyd Glasspool 578
QR1: Luke Bambridge 589 v Jonathan Gray 588
QR1: Isaac Stoute [WC] 952 v Brydan Klein [4] 499

Obviously Dan was included controversially, but you also had Marcus as a biggish name, and Evan. Perhaps jokingly, but I think it was last year (or perhaps 2017) that someone on here, I think Vandy, was championing Jonathan Gray for a full MDWC, but he's a million miles away from even being in that conversation now. Corrie was also capable of getting the odd win. I suppose Brydan and Lloyd have both knocked 100+ places off their rankings in 12 months, but still being nearly into the 500s when your approaching 26 later in the year is not much to write home about, relatively speaking.

What's Finn Bass up to these days?

 My feeling on grass season to date is that Klein and Peniston will play it out for one QWC place, hard to call that match as their records seem v close so far. I would like Peniston to win it as I think he deserves it more. In the lower half, going to go with Watson to cause an upset versus Lloyd and see it through to qualify for the qualies

Not seen or heard of Anton Matusevich for a while and I see that he has not taken up a GB top 2 juniors ranking WC?

Yeah, doesn't look like Anton has played since Sunderland R1 in mid-April, which coincidentally, I saw most of the second set live. It looks like no George Loffhagen since mid-March either. It's strange as about a year ago those 2 and Aidan were considered our brightest prospects along with Jack, and although Aidan is currently having relative success on the 15k scene, they have been overshadowed by Paul and Jack's reemergence. Anton, Aidan and George (and Jack) were all (somewhat controversially at the time) direct QWCs last year.

I see that he is on the qualifying list for Week 27 - Portugal M15. But yes he does seem to have been missing for a while.

Anton, Aidan and George are all 18 years old, so probably doing A-levels which would explain their absence.

 Finn Bass is at college in the USA - Baylor

Aidan has a QWC

And I may be wrong but I thought I heard somewhere that George had hung his racket up.

 He's been in the States - at college.

But he did play three events in Mexico a couple of weeks back.
