Week 24 - ATP 500 - cinch Championships - The Queen's Club, London (grass) - doubles


Sufficient Brit involvement to warrant a separate thread.  According to Darts Rankings, Joe & Rajeev (3), Jamie & Bruno (5), Ken & Neal, Dan & Jonny & Cam alongside Alex de Miñaur will be in the main draw.  There are three wild cards & Luke & Dom are first alternates, with Lloyd & Harri sixth.

cinch Championships
@QueensTennis
Stan Wawrinka (foot) has been forced to withdraw from the singles entry list for the cinch Championships.

We wish Stan well and hope to see him next year.

Nick Kyrgios is first alternate and now moves into the main draw.

Will Nick actually leave Australia to play ? He hasn't played on tour since February.

 I did see/read some posts on twitter that he was going to leave and play the grass season but whether he actually does or not... Is he the only player not playing (other than for injury) now?

 Did we ever ascertain what was wrong with Lloyd to not play at Queens ? Is he ok for Wimbledon?

 Harri's blog just calls it a small injury to Lloyd. Sounds hopeful he will be ok for Wimbledon. Lloyd had MTO during the match in Notts. 

 

Lloyds situation looked quite reasonable after Thursdays match, and as early as Friday, everything seemed to be able to play right away next week. On Saturday morning, however, he informed me that he was still not fit to play, and he understandably did not want to take the risk of a bigger injury and a possible miss at Wimbledon at this point either. Of course, I had been aware that I might be left without a pair for the coming week, but yes, that was still annoying.

So my own pair patterns went naturally right away, of course, and the main goal was to find a new pair for Nottinghams second challenger, whose registration would end at 12 noon on Saturday. So I managed to ask several players with poor success interest in playing in Nottingham before I suddenly got a message from the British DC captain if he would still be interested in playing at the Queens Club with a wild card if he finds me another pair. And of course I was! Saturday morning was certainly the last minute for him, too, to look for users for wild cards, especially when, for example, my own partner, Alastair Gray, was already in Nottingham with the intention of playing the singles qualifiers there. But luckily Alastair was also interested in switching to the Queen of Nottingham and we soon headed towards London together.
