Its an official grand slam title so regardless of personal preference, should have a thread. The final confirmed entry list is below and we have three British mens in qualies, hence putting it here: Henry, Neal and Lloyd are all in the 8 pair qualies field, 2 pairs qualify.

Siniakova/Patten are gonna be hard to beat here, even if both being world number 1 does not merit a main draw entry......... :/

Ridiculous as we have discussed before.

So we have the world no 1's, CR2 -  Dabrowski is WR3 so with Harri that is CR4. Stefani and Skupski are CR9, Krunic and Pavic are CR12. And only two qualify.

In essence, direct entrants are all singles players with the defending champs added in. Albeit 3 wildcards to come. And the qualies is all the doubles players - v much second class citizens. I hope the two that qualify can go on and do well.

Presumably more of the wildcards will be Americans as very few are in either field currently.

I mean the whole thing seems designed to be humiliating to the doubles specialists, but they tried that last year and it didn't go so well for them, so fingers crossed!

 Which criteria guarantee most of the main draw will be singles players, therefore, and the doubles players then scrap for the qualies spots. Which as someone said above is clearly the aim of this whole thing. 

Oh well.
