Rafa had a good Wimbledon last year but not so much the other years so don't see what all the fuss is about confuse Kyle etc benefiting from no Delpo in the draw re: seedings. Besides, it's fairly academic anyway if you can't beat the opposition.

I think Anderson feels over bumped IMO, agree dont think Nadal has got much to complain about, its Roger for gods sake!

Well it's the Wimbledon seedings grass adjustment formula, so is cut and dried re Fed being ahead of Nadal even if quite close and Anderson has the little matter of his Wimbledon RU points being added so effectively counting twice for Wimbledon seeding.

L128:  (3) Kyle Edmund WR 31 (CH = 14 last October) vs Jaume Munar (ESP WR 88 (CH = 52 last month)

L128:  João Sousa (POR) WR 66 (CH = 28 in May 2016) vs (WC) Paul Jubb WR 472 (= CH)

L128:  Federico Delbonis (ARG) WR 76 (CH = 33 in May 2016) vs Dan Evans WR 65 (CH = 41 in March 2017)
L128:  (WC) James Ward WR 205 (CH = 89 in July 2015) vs (18) Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO) WR 16 (= CH)

L128:  Denis Istomin (UZB) WR 109 (CH = 33 in August 2012) vs Cameron Norrie WR 49 (CH = 41 last month)

L128:  (WC) Jay Clarke WR 166 (CH = 159 last month) vs (Q) Noah Rubin (USA) WR 183 (CH = 125 last October)

Decent first round draw for Jay, but if he wins it, it'll almost certainly be Roger the Lodger in the next...

Kyle is the only Brit in the top half of the draw.

Some pretty great draws tbh. Dan has a reasonable chance of making R4

There's not one game there that has me thinking 'no chance', so pretty good draws I'd say. Dan, Kyle and Cam clear favourites, as well as Jay a slight favourite.
Could see 4/5 wins.

 LOL at not too bad. If you ran the draw 1,000 times that outcome is in the top 5th percentile.

Have to agree with you on that one. As draws go, this is about as good as it gets.
