QR1:  Daniel Evans WR 176 defeated (q15) Yasutaka Uchiyama (JPN) WR 136 by 6-7(5) 6-1 6-4  smile

QR1:  (q8) Billy Harris WR 104 defeated Vadym Ursu (UKR) WR 305 by 2 & 4

*****

FQR:  Alex Bolt (AUS) WR 188 (CH = 125 in March 2019) vs Daniel Evans WR 176

Bolt beat the q1, Hanfmann, in straight sets & could prove a bit of a handful.

FQR:  (q8) Billy Harris WR 104 vs Beibit Zhukayev (KAZ) WR 196 (CH = 171 in June)

For a place in a 1000 draw, Evo and Billy probably would have been ok with both of those match ups. Tough still.

Evo a set up, 6-2, on Bolt. Billy a set down, 5-7.

Come on lads. Both could really use the points and the confidence from winning these.

I know this basic entry level knowledge stuff. But in a masters event, does someone who qualifies get the 20 qualies points and 10 first round losers points, or just the qualies points?

Im asking as, if Billy qualified and got 20 plus 10 = 30 points, his live ranking would be back top 100. My guess is they should do, but Im sure that is naive as the ATP like to favour the big names and they wouldnt give the free 10 points to a lowly qualifier.

Thats going to do Evo some good. Not sure his ranking position moves too much from just qualifying but getting to the main draw is a filip.

Who could Evo play in round one?

I'm really pleased for Dan!  Possible opponents in the first round are Taro Daniel, Sonego, Mannarino, Seybold-Wild, Davidovick Fokina, Moutet, Safiullin, Kovacevic, Kotov, Giron, or another qualifier.  I make the observation that both of Dan's qualifying rounds were three setters, he is still not finding things easy. Is he working with a coach at the moment?  I haven't heard Sebastian Prieto's name mentioned in a while.

Do my ffellow board members have an opinion as to whether TennisTV gives better coverage of men's tennis than Eurosport?  Specifically, does one channel show more matches on secondary courts? 

Thanks
