Michael D · All-time great

Such a shame Ryan and Brydan were paired in the same half

JonH · All-time great

Definitely a shame, should be a tight match - Ryan of course won in 3 sets in Nottingham a week or so ago.

Big opportunity for Gray or Whitehouse though

LTA site shows schedule time for the bottom half but not the top. Is there any possibility of them accepting 3 QWCs from the playoffs?

Not as things stand since it's a full house for QWCs.

So unless one of them drops out or is upgraded to a MD WC.

But yes, most folk saw this coming re Brydan vs Ryan.

It is plausible that the WC Committee has upgraded Nicolas Mahut to an MDWC in light of his win over Stan W yesterday. If they did then the normal process with 3 WCs from the play-offs is that the third goes to the highest ranked loser in the final play-offs - which would mean both Brydan and Ryan getting QWCs (and possibly no requirement to play the match, given the lower ranking of the two involved in the other match). However I have no evidence whether or not they have upgraded Mahut.

So pleased that Ryan beat Brydon. Sorry but he's the only British player I don't support because I really don't like him.

JonH · All-time great

Glad ryan won well done , and also to mark Whitehouse, I hope ryan can win a match at roehampton

scottie1 · Futures level

the standards are really high at Wimbledon qualifying and my main hopes are Broady and Choinski although Jack Draper may surprise .

Aahhh, close but not cigar.

Ali Gray lost 4-6 in the third to Mark Whitehouse, maybe partly due to the ultra long match against Lloyd previously, or maybe just because Mark is a deceptively good player when it's firing.

Alistair will be back, he's played some excellent tennis, and still only 20 or so.

Easy win for Ryan though, over Brydan.

So it's UK uni and US college going through to Wimbly QR1 smile

Thanks - the LTA has corrected the scores, so I have updated my earlier post with the exact score
