Main draw entry list here.  Cam there, but no sign of Kyle.  With the exception of Simona Halep in the ladies' singles, the wild cards appear not yet to have been announced.  Andy, it seems, will be playing doubles with Marcelo Melo.  smile

Jay is playing here again this year (from his latest instagram post he says Eastbourne next - might be one of those MDWC like last year) and no Dan either.

Neil McLeman - Daily Mirror sports writer - has tweeted that Kyle is playing Eastbourne. Seen nothing else as yet.

A couple of paragraphs tacked on to the end of Stu Fraser's report on Andy's doubles victory at Queen's in today's Times:

There is no British representation remaining in the [Queen's] singles draw, Kyle Edmund having lost 6-3, 7-5 to Stefanos Tsitsipas, the top seed from Greece, in a first-round match that had been suspended midway through the second set on Wednesday because of rain.  This was Edmund's first match of the grass season and he has requested a wild card for the Nature Valley International in Eastbourne next week in a bid to get more time on court before Wimbledon.

"I need more matches on grass," Edmund, 24, said.  "We have been training a lot.  It's always nice to play a few more matches and get more time on grass.  It was a physical match [against Tsitsipas].  I felt fine."

Kyle has tweeted that he is on his way to Eastbourne. Mind you, the attached link to Instagram revealed him on an exercise bike so he may be a while !

Good that Kyle felt fine vs Tsitsipas though this season I keep feeling we are maybe just a match away from him not being fine in some way.

But yes, he needs matches. All the best to him here and in the rest of the season for him to be able to far closer match his ability.

 That's funny how we all basically knew that before now.

QR1:  (qWC) James Ward WR 212 (CH = 89 in July 2015) vs (q5) Lloyd Harris (RSA) WR 87 (= CH)

QR1:  (qWC) Paul Jubb WR 579 (= CH) vs (q8) Denis Istomin (UZB) WR 105 (CH = 33 in August 2012)  bleh

I suppose, if Paul was going to take on a former top 100 player, he could have done worse than the 32-year-old fomer Russian Uzbek!

The main draw is still not out, but Kyle will be the top seed.

I think istomin is a tough one for paul to be honest. He did reach last 16 at wimbledon but it was back in 2012, and of course beat Djokovic in Melbourne in 2017. But it is not so much his form , which is poor, but his experience that I think will make it tough.

Whereas lloyd george muirhead harris is ranked 87 currently but has limited grass pedigree and I'd hope dino can beat him

Top seed or not, doesn't mean much if he can't win a match (or two or three...)
