Ed Corrie top seed in bottom half lost to Billy Harris in 3 sets. Seems Ed not having a good time recently having dropped to 400's

Pre-qualifying gets another mention on BBC Queens commentary! Evo beaten Willis in two tie break sets

[Jan]

Yes :faint:

[Teresa]

Does his play his final match today?

[jaysee]

14.30 v. Jack Findel-Hawkins
The other final match at 15.15 is Lloyd Glasspool v Luke Bambridge

[Stell]

Shame about Willis having to play another Brit and losing in straight sets. I'm glad the BBC's Red Button will be showing the qualifying rounds again, from next Monday, at 11am.

Can't believe Marcus isn't in Wimbledon qualies, if they didn't want to give Dan one, then they should have given Marcus a WC (who appears to have been the big loser from Dan being there in pre qualies)

[Josephine]

Well he hasn't achieved much for the last 2 years.....

[JimmyG]

Dan Evans beats Jack Findel-Hawkins 6-4 3-6 6-3 to claim a wild card into qualifying

[roytennisfan]

Well he hasn't achieved much for the last 2 years.....

He hadn't done much this time 2 years ago but his wins two years ago surely deserved a wc for next two or three years. Took Dan very close 2 tiebreaks

[Josephine]

I don't agree -sorry it was a flash in the pan or he would have achieved more by now.

A few other brits in action.

[Teresa]

James W through R1 in straight sets.

[roytennisfan]

James makes it 4 British winners in Mens Q today Alex Dan Lloyd and James, a pretty good day for the Brits

[Jan]

Yes a good day for the British men :clap::clap::GBflag:

[roytennisfan]

Men just started today, first Brit on, Alex is a set and break down to Bolt, hopefully better news later

[roytennisfan]

Alex almost gone, Lloyd now a set and break down. Hopefully James and Dan can do better

[Stell]

Alex Ward loses 2 - 6, 2 - 6 to Alex Bolt.

[Stell]

Lloyd Glasspool loses 5 - 7, 4 - 6 to Stephane Robert.

[JAMES4578]

Good to see Wardy through in straights, well done! Pity for Alex and Lloyd of course.

[roytennisfan]

James through 6-4 6-4 Alex and Lloyd out and Dan about to go, not a great day

[roytennisfan]

Dan going out was really a shock

[Jan]

James lost the first two sets (at which point I had completely forgotten the FQR is best of 5!!)
He's just taken the third 6-1
Go Wardy!!!!!

[Jan]

Eek but he's now a double break down in the 4th...

[JAMES4578]

Seems like good 3rd set from James,however now down 3-0 in 4th-come on wardy!

[JAMES4578]

Went away from James rapidly unfortunately, Bonzi takes 4th 6-0 and into main draw. What a pity but hopefully Wardy continues to make progress.
