This is a 48 player field, 16 byes. Anyone have the full entry list?

I'm voting for Kyrgios bc I think he's in decent shape rn.

 

[EloQuent]

Anderson out.

 

[Flint]

I highly expect Zerev to win, I'm just hoping Murray can get more than 1 or 2 matches under his belt here.

1 match would be a loss, 2 matches would be okay and 3 would be fantastic. Not expecting more than 3 max at the moment though.

Maybe he'll have a decent chance in the first tound because he is not going to play against any of the 16 seeds. Then if he wins he'll have a tough match for sure.

Totally forgot it's a 48 draw

They're useless to play as a non seed. Basically needlessly tough 250 with small bonus for winning 4th and 5th match, unless you win it.

Isn't it a 500?

 

[Red Rick]

Isn't it a 500?

It's a 500, but the point structure for matches won is the same until you win 4, a 500 semi is 180, a 250 final is 150, so the 250 is easier points, unless you're seeded and start in R32.

Gotcha.

Overall it's weird that the tour is so inconsistent. Most 500s are 32, a few 48/64. Most 1000s 56/64, two of them 96/128. Should be more tiers imo.

And then Winston Salem, which the lol 250 with 48 draw.

lolwat. I knew that some 250s have 32 and that Queens used to be a 250 on 48, but what the heck.

Honestly the only thing that´s missing is differences in Slam draws

Although it needs to be said, Wimbledon is the only one with Bo5 qualies

Wimbledon also hosts the qualis on a different site. Then you have the question of tiebreaker 5th set.

If you go back in history some of the slams were 64 or had seeds byed into like QFs. US Open at one point had Bo3 early rounds.

 

[marc45]

Nishi/Shapo-Z qtr.

Toughtest quarter, no doubt.

 

[Hamnavoe]

That's three tournaments in a row that Murray's second round draw is Edmund.

Anyway, looks like some good matches. Is this being shown on Tennis TV?

 

[3fees]

Kyrgios retired from BB&T , Norrie 75 30

"Nick Kyrgios was booed off the court in his quarter-final at the Atlanta Open as he retired hurt.

Just a day after the Australian told reporters if he's playing his best it would be "tough to lose", Kyrgios had to call it quits after reportedly suffering a hip injury.

Struggling with his movement, Kyrgios saw the trainer in the first set and underwent treatment on the court.

The effort disappeared late in the opening set as opponent and world number 73, Cameron Norrie, took the opener."

Doubtful he'll be playing

conspiracy against Mainad

 

[tennisenthusiast]

No love for Wawrinka?

Lol...it does look like someone is doing this deliberately, doesn't it?

 

[Hamnavoe]

I don't really understand why they're doing it. At Queen's and Eastbourne, both players could probably pull in crowds on their own (obviously Murray at far greater numbers). I'm not sure why there would be a market for an all-British match-up in Washington.

In any case, hopefully Murray is physically ready to get some wins. He didn't look terrible on grass, and it's a month later, so he should hopefully be playing at a higher level now.

Wimby qualies only go to Bo5 for the last round. I hope they continue to buck the trend.

 

[mightyrick]

In this field, I can't vote for anybody except Isner. Not the way he's playing right now.

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Anyone catch qualies? ATP or WTA? Smooth-sailing...?

 

[Red Rick]

Oh by the way @stringertom

Looks like Murray didn't get in on his pre Wimbledon ranking nor a WC. He ended 2017 in the top 30, which guarantees entry to all 500s in the following year.

Sounds like a plan, Stan! Beijing and Vienna are part of that scheme.

I really think Stan should have played Hamburg.

 

[Hamnavoe]

I really think Stan should have played Hamburg.

There's no point in playing Hamburg when there's no more significant clay-court tournaments for the rest of the season. If I was him I would have played in Atlanta this week

 

[Forehand_Slice]

Very rough for Stan. His level is still a question mark.
He should get past qualifier, but Nishikori will be a big test. Even in his old form, outside of slams it was almost a 50/50 matchup.

 

[Smurph]

Donald young had a bit of trouble beating a young 18yr old American named Danny Thomas. it will be tougher for him today in R2 against Jason Jung,

 

[EloQuent]

I really think Stan should have played Hamburg.

He was originally scheduled to play post-Wim clay but withdrew, said medical advice was not to change surface so much.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Murray has good draw to get to semis/finals.

It's just chance.

It may be just that but given that it has happened three tournaments in a row, it's a little suspicious.

 

[jaggy]

Stan and Donald is the marquee match tonight (after that other 7 pm one!).

Former Chennai Open finalist vs former Thailand Open finalist. A match for the ages.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Looking forward to watching this tournament! Still pondering most logical choice for champion.
