Anton was made to work in a 3-6 7-5 6-3 win over Alexis.

He has a break now but could be vulnerable to a fresher Josh Paris

Stuart Parker did indeed beat Charlie Broom, 3 sets, well done Stuart !!

Dan Cox got a QWC for Eastbourne as I hoped so thats at least something. And ironically a chance to win ranking points with it.

Anton joins Stuart in the draw 6-3 5-7 6-2

How many rounds of qualies will Anton have to get through to break back into the Top 500.

Asking for a friend.

All of them.

Actually are there points available for qualifying?

No points as its invitational essentially.

Nope. So actually Anton could qualify and go on and do an Emma Raducanu and he'd still be outside the top 500.

Geez. I'd forgotten about the points situation.

As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, Matusevich and Parker are through to Wimbledon qualies.
(I know people usually use first names for these players but that's not my style somehow).
Congrats to both of them!
My question is whether the losing finalists (Broom and Paris) will be given wildcards too?
There are still 2 wildcards unaccounted for.
Same question for the women.

Thanks.

There's precedent for it - the LTA have certainly done it before.

My own feeling is that unlikely for Josh but Charlie may well have a chance - it's a little difficult to justify one semi-finalist and not the other but Charlie is 440 or whatever in the world - it's a reasonable call, whatever, and a lot more justifiable

Given Dan Cox beat Charlie at Ilkley and had to miss the play offs, Id still like to think he also has a chance of one of those two spots. Although whether playing Eastbourne scuppers that?

As CD says there is indeed precedent for it - they have in the past given 0, 1 or 2 additional QWCs in these circumstances. However when they have given 1 additional WC it has always been, in my recollection, to the higher ranked of the two losing finalists in pre-qualification. We probably will not find out though until Sunday on past experience.

If Dan Cox lost at Eastbourne today can he also then go into the Wimbledon qualies field as a WC or would it preclude him as being two events in one week?
