Lajovic is on form and tough. So dont fancy Kyle.

Cam is on a shocking run, so dont fancy Cam.

Just Dan I fear.

Agree it will be tough, but Kyle has a 3-0 record against Lajovic so it must be a decent match up for him.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Dan's 3rd round a bit harsh.......

Found this link from twitter - printable draws for various tournaments, mainly official, but also including a good version for the AO (who have a lousy printable draw).

For those interested, I have put a poll on how many winners we will get at the AO in the predictions section

I think that Mr Evans would be gutted to lose to Mr Edmund in the 4th Round.

tennis abstract rates our mens chances as:

Cam - 48 % chance in Rd1 v Herbert

Kyle - 67% v Lajovic, then 43% to get through against Kukushkin, 24% chance of getting to last 16, expect Schwartzman to beat him in last 32

Dan - 64% v MacDonald, then rate Nishioka as favourite to beat Dan 55% to 30% in Rd 2 (although that might be as Nishioka is so strong to beat Djere and then forecasts will change if they both get through to play each other).

Overall, Djoko rated to win over Rafa in final

Kyle certainly couldnt have asked for a better draw which tends to be the norm for him
at slams. Has a better chance of going deeper than Dan, despite Dan being our best player. With Cam I can see him having a similar career to Heather floating between 50 and 100.
