Also- the pick of round 1 has to be Thiem park versus Querry. What a dangerous floater, would love to say an upset is on the cards, but I actually think Querry is fav.

Great effort and thanks StirCrazy for putting up all these draws, with career highs etc, must be very time consuming.
Couldn't of asked for anything better with these draws really. It's just a bit disappointing, without Murray this year, to have a player, who you could think might be able to win it.

The thing is, the top half of the women's draw (start on Tuesday) is absolutely loaded with big names. There's probably a chance that Nadal is on Court 1 - you'll certainly get one of Nadal, Federer or Serena.

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.

Yep. This and the women's must count as dream draws.

Of course several will still be underdogs. The ranking is the ranking.

But if you were the other countries, you'd almost think the draw was rigged.

Dan 1/12 vs 7/1 Delbonis
Kyle 1/3 vs 9/4 Munar
Cam 4/7 vs 11/8 Istomin
Ward 13/10 vs 8/13 Basilashvili
Paul 7/4 vs 4/9 Sousa
Jay 2/1 vs 2/5 Rubin

So the 'big 3' are favourites (Cam slight) and the 3 WCs underdogs, which would have been expected) but still very reasonable draws, in relative terms. There might not have been a possible draw of all 128, other than maybe Paul, where Jay would have been the favourite, so still good for him to draw a qualifier. I'm hoping for 4 wins amongst that lot.

Good to see both mens and womens draws nice really.

Coric was having the physio on a lot during Halle to do with his back.

Gutting. I like Coric.

Aiming to try and get Court 3 tickets for Tuesday on Ticketmaster - do you have to be super quick or are they fairly readily available?

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.

Ill go for 4/6 wins here. The top 3 plus A.N.Other
