Looking at the action in Nottingham Premier this week, womens are going to plan.

Mens however, have some upsets going on

Group A - competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/draw.aspx

Harry Wendelken lost to Yujiro Onuma, who heads up that group and should make the last 8

Group B - competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/draw.aspx

Ewan Moore upset Sean Hodkin but both should qualify for the QF's

Group C - competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/draw.aspx

Billy Blaydes won this group beating and thus topping Tom Hands

Group D - competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/draw.aspx

Ying Hou was top seed in the group but has lost both matches and Ruairidh Fraser looks like winning the group from nowhere

 Ha - great minds, CD! Your overview was more in depth and took the extra few minutes compared to my pasting of links!!

Being a Premier event, with top-1000 players, this is quite a biggie for the LTA....

Mens QFs:

Onuma v Hands
Quayle v Hodkin
Blaydes v Wendelken
Fraser v Moore

Womens QFs:

Christie v Tsimbilakis
Reid v Amos
Wilson v Crnan
Stresnakova v Dzjachangirova

Mens qfs

Onuma beat Hands (upset !)
Quayle lost to Hodkin
Blaydes lost to Wendelken
Fraser lost to Moore

So semis are

Onuma v Hodkin
Wendelken v Moore

Onuma beating Harry was more of an upset, I'd say, just on rankings, I guess.

Really pleased for Yujiro - I like the lad's tennis - saw him two years ago or whenever and thought he'd be doing a little better - but I know he gets zero support from the LTA, and seems to have a very dedicated coach, so I wish him lots of luck:

So the top seeds all made it after that - I wasnt sure how Sean Hodkin was second seed as it says his ranking is 1760 which is well below others playing ? Looking at the draw sheet he should have been maybe 8th seed, but he made final and justified it.

From the tournie website
Seeded entries
Mens Singles - Main Draw
1/661
Harry Wendelken
2/1730

3/750
Tom Hands
4/757
Ying Hou
5/785
Billy Blaydes
6/962
Ewan Moore
7/1020
David Quayle
8/1137
Joseph Newman-Billington

Presumably those below are itf rankings? Which would fit other numbers. Order is atp  itf, then wtn. Also as far as I know those without itf or atp or wta rankings are now ordered by wtn for acceptance for first time. This may lead to some odd acceptance lists, especially in the summer if us college players enter. As far as I know none of their us results count for their wtn yet.

 I know but I cant or dont understand why they are just showing the itf rank and not the atp rank? if Sean is 1730 itf , why are they showing his atp rank so its all in order? 

of they are all itf ranks , then why arent they showing atp?! That was my question, really!

If 1720 is Seans atp rank, which it seems to be, why is it out of sequence with the seedings - the order doesnt make sense to me looking at how it is all written down in the list.

Am I making sense? I get how they do it but the list doesnt make sense?

Sean Hodkin is ranked 1730 atp and 54 itf. According to itf site today- so why is his 1730 lifted up to 2nd seed when others are at 700 or 800 or so. Sorry, Im missing something here !

Ok - I get it now. The first two seeds are the only ones with atp ranks. So hence why Hodkin is second. The rest are quoting itf rankings and so follow on from 3rd seed. It looks strange because they use just a number and it doesnt say Harry W and Sean H ranks are atp and the others are itf.

So it makes sense but that is very poorly presented and sure to confuse more than just me.

Not that it mattered , it just irritated the heck out of me!
