The players (I'm aware of) listed in order of gElo.

5 with higher Elos than Emma, 11 with better gElos. Pretty sure that will look a little outdated by mid July.

Something seems off about Qinwen's number, lol.

 

The tournament is being broadcast live in the UK on BBC2 from Monday onwards, programme starts at 1pm (except Wednesday, when it starts at 2pm and on BBC1 due to a major political event). Presumably the 11am matches will be on the Red Button, iPlayer etc.

On the assumption that the BBC would like to guarantee Emma's matches being shown live on the main channel, this would mean Emma being third match on Centre Court on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Somehow Eala is given a higher chance at Wimbledon over the likes of Drova, Kenin and equal with Anisimova, Kostyuk, Kivitova and many other notable names.

Will Jon have her as a dark horse again?

You'd be stupid to put money on Eala at the moment. It's been well over 2 months and she's essentially showing the same main tour form post-Miami as she did pre-Miami.

Now that players and coaches know what to expect, and what areas in her game to target, match wins are not going to come easy for her.

 

Truly please to all the journos out there: continue in this vein of spotlighting everyone except Emma in this grass season, especially at Wimbledon. The less pressure on her the better
As it is she is all the newspapers will talk about for about 3 weeks non stop.
Focus on Eala yes
Focus on Draper, the world number 5 yes
Focus on Boulter, the British number 1 yes
Let’s Leave Emma out of it totally. Thank you

 

Realistically that isn't going to happen unless/until Draper wins a slam.

 

LOL "French Open Defeat in London"

 

Looking good

 

Here we go, it's starting.

 

Does that mean Sonay will maybe get Osaka's WC?

 

According to the player list on the LTA website Emma is currently the only wild card.

 

Could mean Boulter got in via her ranking and doesn't need the WC anymore

 

It's a shocking placement, lot's of players have a week off after the clay season, particularly the top ranked players.
Might need to move it back a week and combine with the men, just have an event with NO doubles.

 

No doubles? What? Better for them to have a 250, like Nottingham, the week after RG, but whatever. A 500 will be a chance for some players to gain some more points while those who went deep at RG recover. I doubt Emma is complaining too much, lol.

 

Oh tony beat me to it with the withdraws.

They still have 1 WC available probably kept it for a "top player " (only announced 3 ) so now it is 3 with Osaka out.

It looks like Boulter was the next in. There was 1 spot available for SE=special exempt(in case a QUEEN qualifier makes it to FO semi) so it will be unused.

I thought that the tournaments can assign unused SEs as regular entries or WCs. Am I correct?

 

But now surely Emma gets in directly on her ranking too so all 4 WCs are free?

 

It looks like she is 2 out: Kessler, Raducanu, PR Zhu Lin

 

I’d give a WC each to Sonay and Fran and then maybe take a chance with Mimi who’s done well in Birmingham this week. Leaves one for a top player.

 

Queen's: LTA promises equal prize money at grass-court tournament and Eastbourne by 2029

The LTA pledges to introduce equal prize money at Queen's and Eastbourne by no later than 2029.

Sometimes when you lot who have so much more knowledge of tennis than I do talk about ranking points and odds and predictions and SEs and WCs and other such acronyms….its a bit like I am at an astrophysics conference, having not gone near any sciences for the last 20 years!

 

@guichard is the expert on rules and ranking points, and not only.

 

Any idea when is the draw?

 

Hello eraddict with it being a new tournament it's difficult to say, Saturday would be my best guess. 🤔
