What does this schedule mean for the brits men?

Also, didn't they used to play first round over 3 days, mon to wed, have they now fallen in with the other slams?

Dan and Cam on Monday, Kyle on Tuesday ( Jo is Monday ). 

Yes, they fell into line a few years ago so also doing away with "Super Saturday".

 Thanks indy. Boy, wherever have I been , I could have sworn it was still first round through wednesday, it used to irritate me like heck! Although I do remember super saturday disappearing. 

 

So big day monday, let's hope it isnt just Kyle all alone in the singles come tuesday.

All 3 Brits have decent draws in the context of a slam. All 3 wont win of course, hope we get 2 wins

Love the accents, flamingowings !

Barrère beat Dan Evans in the Quimper final earlier this year, and Liam in the FQR at Wimbly.

But, as you say, Cam took care of him very nicely in Mexico.

He's a dangerous player though, and on the up.

Dan's going to need patience against Mannarino. If his new plan is to be more aggressive, from the back, and coming to the net, Mannarino will be pretty happy, he feeds off that, it has to be spot on.

You've never said that to me, always pointing out that you never bother using them when I do... 

Not optimistic, fear that the Doubles will be the main interest for Brit followers by R3.

Unsurprisingly surely to nobody, Anderson has now withdrawn.

 I totally understand why some of the lower ranked players don't withdraw until after qualies start given how tough it is to make any kind of living outside the top 50 but Anderson doesn't need the money so I find it incredibly disrespectful that he would wait until the last possible moment to withdraw.   I'm surprised as he comes across as a thoroughly decent guy but he must have been completely deluded if he genuinely thought that he could compete this week given that he had to withdraw last week and has not played since Wimbledon.
