Cam draws a qualifier...

Not Liam I hope!


 Then again, would guarantee one of them getting to R2 of the French Open no less.

 Think it just means that the qualifiers haven't been placed yet.

Thinking about it, probably just means that the qualifiers haven't been placed yet so Cam vs Liam is still possible.

Edit

What Indiana just said.

Nice article complete with starfish photo on the RG site

Very unusual for the highest seed a qualifier could draw to be the 25th. No really bad draws for the qualifiers. Cuevas and Chardy are the only ones who nearly always win a round or two - usually an important factor, but may not be this year in the strange and changed circumstances

A brief mention for Liam's win in Stu Fraser's report in today's Times:

Liam Broady, the British No 6 ranked No 206 in the world, qualified for his first grand slam main draw outside Wimbledon by defeating Marc Polmans, the world No 122 from Australia, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. The 26-year-old from Stockport - who is now guaranteed to earn the biggest cheque of his career for £55,000 - received the vocal support of Murray from courtside.

"I started the match pretty badly, then Andy showed up and I think it definitely helped a lot," Broady said "He is a very loud supporter. You can't fault Andy as a tennis player or a human being. I have got to know him a bit better over the last few months and it's been absolutely fantastic."

Inevitably, the headline is hogged by Andy's first round encounter with Stan the Man.
