I see Berrettini is next in. My instinct is it is down to him, Billy and Evo.

If Berrettini moves up then Billy and Dan get them. If he doesnt, Berrettini could be lined up, then depends if Billy goes and does something special this week to edge him over Evo. So suspect that will all play out and be resolved by end of this week?

Well, it has to be, doesn't it?

I mean, you can't have Billy start qualis and then give him a MD WC, can you? biggrin

thanks Seagull for that info - let's see if that causes any knock on effect, then.

Presumably Felix is also now only 3 spots off qualies direct entry

And with Oliver and Jay out of challengers today, Felix is the only Q WC contender left playing this week ( plays his R2 later today ). Given he was to my mind already the next in line for a Q WC surely one way or another he now gets into qualies even if still playing in Nottingham ( so missing the play-offs )
