The RG live draw was so cool pity we cant get that all the time ! Wil Wimbledon do the same ? Both use IBM !

I hope so!

The qualifying draw will be available sometime later this evening on the website. I presume that they'll announce the final wc at the same time.

It should be online after the end of the Poland-Ecuador World Cup match.

Queens has a fabulous live scoreboard which is point-by-point and it operates for all the qualifying matches aswell as the main draw.

It was such a shame that they reduced the size of the qualifying draw for Queens as it had given so many of the lower ranked Brits the chance to compete against Challenger level players. Jamie Baker played Queens qualies when he was only 16 !

I'm hopeful that we'll get two Brit qualifiers. Assuming that he doesn't get a wc, Martin should have a very good chance aswell as Boggo. Alan Mackin and Jamie Delgado also always do well here every year. Delgado will be especially motivated as he's defending rd2 points [he beat Monfils in rd1 last year before losing to Gasquet].

It looks like Chris Eaton has received one of the qualies wcs, his dream came true yesterday when he got to practise with Andre Agassi. Andy Murray was practising with Roddick.

Any info on the Queens junior tournament ? Didn't Andy Kennaugh win it last year?

Andy Kennaugh won it last year, though I'm not sure how strong the field is for it. Boggo won it in 2002 aswell.

The Queens junior tournament isn't covered very well, it's not covered by the live scoreboard and there's no mention of it on the website. If a Brit wins it, the press or the LTA usually give that a mention.

EAton must have been buzzing!

BTW does he have a good game for grass?

Any news on Salbinsky and Kalaitzis yet. They were due on at 12.30 Italian time?

Don't know much about Eaton's game, have never seen him play. He's at his best on outdoor hard courts - he likes the rebound ace surfaces they have down under in Australia. Bladetiger saw Eaton play in the indoor satellite earlier this year and was really impressed.

Haven't heard at all from Alex yet this week and my phone won't let me send texts at the minute. I'll try and text him this afternoon.

Unless I hear from him, we probably won't get the result until about 6pm this evening.

Hope he wins !

I'm just hoping it turns out to be a good week at Queen's for the Scots.. Hope Mackin can make it through qualifying and Baker maybe to win a match in the main draw.. Maybe Andy to get as far as he did last year and I suppose it will be a good Queen's for Scottish tennis players and hopefully for the rest of the Brits aswell.

Brillant draw for Andy but Aggassi for Henman is just rotten.

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

what happens if Nadal withdraws(or any of the seeds for that matter)? Does a very lucky loser get his bye into the second round or do two lucky losers play a round 1 match?

Michael · Pro player

Lucky Loser goes to Round 2.

Vonce · Club Coach

Certainly is a nice draw for Andy he should be able to get through Janko in the 1st round. Also maybe playing Ginepri in the 2nd round could be a close match but Andy has beaten him before and I don't see why he can again..

As for Tim that is not a good 1st round draw playing Aggasi who is playing his comeback from injury.. But if somehow Tim gets past Aggasi should make the 3rd round at least but I'm not too sure if Tim can get past Aggasi. It's probably the best time to beat Aggasi since he's coming back from injury.

Plus it would be nice if Baker could beat Fish and play Nadal in the 2nd round.

RJA · Hall of fame

Good to see Andy get a nice draw at last.
