No Spanish Wimbledon in 2015...

[kOaMaster]

When will the last Spaniard drop out of the tournament?

Ferrer not participating
Nadal out R2
Lopez out R2
Robredo & GGL out R1
Gimeno Traver, Almagro & Careno Busta out R1
Vinolas & Granollers out R2

They are left with Bautista Agut (R3 vs Basilashvili), Andujar (R3 vs Berdych) and Verdasco (R3 vs Stan).

I don't think that either Verdasco or Andujar will win their R3-matches. Bautista Agut might, but if not...
Could this be the GS tournament with the earliest exit of all spanish players for about 15 years?
And compared to the spanish field, perhaps the heaviest defeat?

Yep.

Expecting the Bull to lead the boycott of the spanish players, if the seeding system is not revised.

Then the organizers can make the main draw with 256 players and we will have some more epic matches between Nadal and players with even lower ranking to their names.

Garbine would like a word with you.

i have to admit i wouldn't have bet on andujar reaching the 3rd round... he had to fight a lot (2 five-setters) but he made it !
among the top100 he's one of the players with the most "clay-skewed" W/L records... and before this wimbledon, he was 0-13 on grass !

As said, I don't expect Andujar or Verdasco to make it any further and if Agut wins his next match he'll probably lose to Federer. Groth is a bigger problem for Federer than Agut will ever be on any surface.

This guy knows how it is. God bless the challenge system.

He was 1-13 actually, won a match in 2007 (Wimbledon qualifiers R1)
