RE: Surbiton entry list
Permalink  

Greg's played in this event for the last few years but as he's now ranked inside the top 50 he'll need a wildcard to play here which is a shame as it'll deprive one of the lower ranked Brits of an opportunity.

I doubt there'll be 13 withdrawals so it looks as if Parmar will have to hope for a wildcard as will Martin Lee.

Wildcards are likely to go to:

1. Parmar. 2.Martin Lee 3.Bloomers 4.Greg/Jamie Baker

The qualifying will probably be packed with quite a few Brits, Mackin, Auckland, Smith, Fleming, Sherwood will all be in there. Hopefully some of the younger Brits like Andy Kennaugh get wcs into the qualies.

And most of all, hopefully the Surbiton live scoreboard will be working this year !!!

Is Surbiton played during the second week of Roalnd Garros?


I really hope they give Jamie Baker a chance over Greg.

Yes it's during the 2nd week of RG, Queens is straight after RG finishes.

After a depressing rd1 thrashing at RG, Greg usually seeks solace on the grass of Surbiton to warm up for Queens. Of course, with a young child now, his decision may be different this year having spent several weeks away from his family in Europe.

I hope that Jamie Baker gets the chance he deserves at Surbiton. He's made really big strides this year. His best victory has to be over Jean Michel Pequery at the start of the year. Pequery was ranked 190 but Jamie beat him 1 and 3.

Jamie reached the Wimbledon juniors quarter-final in 2004 so his game does suit grass.

I hope he isn't, he's been given so many wildcards and just not done anything with them, he doesn't appear to be playing many tournaments or qualies to try and bring his ranking back up so I don't think he really deserves one. (correct me if I'm wrong on this.)

take a look ot his activity page, since march 05 he has eneterd 16 events, 15 of which were by WC's. we also knew he had a wc for surbiton but pulled out  (was replaced by travis rattenmeir who beat boggo). he didbnt get a wc for LA atp but entered the quauies and lost 2nd round.


its a joke really, if he was still goond enough to pay at top atp lvl he'd have make it back there.

i agree with you all! i mean just cuz he reache final 3 years ago doesnt he can get a wildcard cuz of that. you have to give wildcards who going to make strides on the circuit in the next few years. i mean look at murray, he had wildcards and he deserved it cuz looks where he is now.

compare wtih blake/fish, all coming back from injury doind well, ok a bit of help is accetpable, even gregt mad eit back upwards after the whole drugs issue and he was hardly helped.


maybe wc's for atp (and possibly challengers) shoudl be decided by an independent comittiee.

LOL, I really, really hope that Phillipoussis doesn't get a wc - it's getting ridiculous now. However, I'm about 60% certain that Wimbledon will give him one this year. Thankfully the British tournaments have yet to award Donald Young one


The problem Phillipoussis has is that his serve is still top 100 standard but his groundstrokes are too erratic to support his powerful serving.

Who do you think should get the Surbiton wildcards ?

My picks would be Parmar, Lee, Bloomers and Baker. Does anyone think differently ?

I'll say the same but would have to say that Greg deserves one if he wants it. He should be given every bit of support possible, he has a lot to defend after Wimbly.

Who would you replace from that list to give a wildcard to Greg ?

Now think very carefully about your answer

I would replace Arvind Parmar as he has the most chance of qualifying by rights

Here here.....I couldn't agree more.  Surbiton/LTA should do all they can to help Greg get ready for the Grass court season.  After all Greg has done for British tennis he deserves it.
