Well, the Murray Challenger winners don't get much luck with the draw - playing Murray

But at least that'll be quite an amazing moment for them.

Jack Draper and Aidan McHugh have withdrawn from the doubles in Glasgow; right upper leg injury for Draper. They're replaced by Turkish alternates Altug Celikbilek (who beat Draper in singles) and Cem Ilkel to play Finns Harri Heliovaara an Emil Ruusuvuori.

7:32 am - 17 Sep 2019

The prize money is still horrendous at this level for the doubles...

16 players earn 155 each before tax, nowhere near even covering travel costs.
8 players earn 275 probably just enough to cover travel costs but not hotels.
4 players earn 465 should cover travel and hotels, but not food, stringing and other costs
2 players earn 775 probably maybe ish covering everything for the week
2 players earn 1335 woohoo a little bit of profit

So 2 doubles players will make a profit out of 32 and another 2 players might break even if they are lucky (and very good at budgeting). The remaining 28 players will loose money...thanks for coming!

A credible performance from the wild card challenge winners with some accomplished net play but they couldn't get anything going on return with just four points won, not helped by facing two swingy lefty serves.

I always wondered just how generous the hospitality was at these "+H" tournaments.

 5 suites = 20 players

10 bedrooms = 20 players

Covers 40 from the field, presuming Jamie can stay with his mum (plus 4 others?) then that is 45 players covered. Not sure how many playing but its doubles field covered or indeed singles done. 

 

Just need a few beds in a local hostelry and we are sorted   

 

Living the dream

I used to wash pots and pans at Cromlix House as a 15 year old Kitchen Porter...very nice hotel. Bit of a hike from Glasgow though so I would imagine they stayed in the local travel lodge!
