Not a fan of these who know Wild Cards. Thats the 3rd or 4th time in Dubai that's happened, nearly as bad as the Leo Borg and Tsitsipas jnr ones.
Having said that would be nice to see a breakthrough result or two at a higher level doubtful though it is.
I wonder who her mate in Dubai is!
I don't begrudge her a break, just hope she makes the most of it.

I am sure this was discussed in a previous year and someone said her Dad has business interests out there - I could be wrong and have made that up biggrin of course!

She's part of the academy that holds the tournament. She regularly does training blocks there.

Murray has a wildcard for Doha

Madadman · Top national player

Looks like Liam has made it into Doha Qualifying. Along with his WC into doubles with Zverev. For a 250 Doha has some of the best prize money at that level I believe, so a good earner.

With Zverev, really? Hadnt seen that. Big opportunities for him. He goes onto Pune in India and then Lugano in Swtizerland before, presumably, IW and Miami qualies?

He is in fact well into Doha qualies, almost seeded - and doesnt seem to be in IW qualies, maybe Miami with his improved ranking?

Seed Name Seeding Ranking Entry Ranking
1 Jason Kubler 79 79
2 Nikoloz Basilashvili 84 87
3 Zhizhen Zhang 92 92
4 Francesco Passaro 108 111
5 Matteo Arnaldi 109 130
6 Alexander Shevchenko 114 117
7 Tomas Machac 115 122

He would be guaranteed $4000 for QR1 loss and half of $7500 ($3,750) for a doubles R1 loss, so $7,750 ish guaranteed

Liam did an interview with TennisTalk the other day saying hes avoiding the US swing. After Doha hes playing in India then Switzerland for 2 weeks before switching to clay. So all challengers bar this wee chance. Seems a more sensible option to get his ranking back up. He drops more points next month so to maintain under 150 this is best. Means he can push on and the aim is to be top 100 by US Open time.

Liam is ahead of both Dan and Jack in the race so lets hope he can break that Top 100.

Liam draws a local wild card in first qualifying round but top seed Basilashvili in the probable final round.

Murray gets Sonego, Evans v Ruusuvoori, Draper v qualifier. All in top half of draw.
