Billy is totally the wrong partner for Marcus who needs to be partnering a dedicated doubles player not a part timer.

As others have more or less said there was no justification for Aidan to get a QWC, this list of players who have performed better than him on the Futures tour this year is very long.

I wish them all well but forget Kyle, Liam and Dan Evans for any wild cards anywhere, their best days are behind them and they have made their money. The LTA should be supporting the next generation it's 2025, not 2015.

i do agree! Only way I wouldn't is if any of the three mentioned had shown form that shows there are capable of being back into the top 100 which they haven't! not sure where Charlie R is but he would be one.

I think Dan in Birmingham is an exception, its his hometown and it has box office appeal; you could argue Kyle in Yorkshire at Ilkley as well, but that isnt as obvious a link.

Dan is also still fairly high in the rankings and has been good for GB in events so fair play! Please boys don't let us get 1/10 wins haha

Henry missed so many short balls. He could have had that game.

Impressed Hussey has levelled at one set all, considering he was playing in a different country yesterday

Great win for Gilles to knock out the top seed. A brilliant lob in match point to win it too.

 Even my 3 was too optimistic! And the wrong players as well!

Glad Giles also got a win, but Bolt will be tough for him next. Interested to see how JPJ does against Uchiyama. He might stand a chance. Maybe
