[ThiemsBackhand]

Only 8 places between number 1 and 8 seed. That's gotta be a record for a 250.

 

[azza]

Jeez so strong

 

[Chris.]

Jeez so strong

Not really. Its likley Nishikori wont play and Ramos will be top seed...

 

[Le Vautour]

Jordan Thompson has a WC

 

[azza]

thought mens quallies started on a friday but that must be the womens

 

[rogerg7312]

what happened to Bublik ?

 

[dzilit]

After Thompson, De Minaur gets second WC

https://www.sydneyinternational.com...-minaur-awarded-sydney-international-wildcard

 

[rogerg7312]

what happened to Bublik ?

saw he is in the Brisbane Q list and then this week playing the A.O. qualifications anyway

 

[AvidTennisFan]

Nishikori out.

 

[dinkulpus]

Can Tsitsipas take a SE for here from Doha?

 

[Hawaiigrip]

Can Tsitsipas take a SE for here from Doha?

Sure. There are others though who are in front of him in the order.

1 Istomin 63
2 Pella 64
3 Millman @81
4 Simon 89
5 Tsitsipas 91
6 Hanfmann 119
7 Millman 128
8 Basic 138
9 Mmoh 175
10 Ojeda Lara 198
11 De Minaur 208

 

[Captain Meerkat]

Can Tsitsipas take a SE for here from Doha?

Sure.

Indeed, but he has to make the final.

 

[rogerg7312]

Sure. There are others though who are in front of him in the order.

Millman, Hanfmann, Basic and Ojeda are out

1 Istomin 63 (playing vs Harrison tomorrow)
2 Pella 64 (playing vs Rublev tomorrow)
3 Simon 89 (playing vs Cilic tomorrow)
4 Tsitsipas 91 (currently playing vs Thiem 5-7 3-3)
5 Mmoh 175 (playing vs De Minaur tomorrow)
6 De Minaur 208 (playing vs Mmoh tomorrow)

so either Mmoh or De Minaur stays in the race even after tomorrow's matches and the winner of that match has a good chance for a SE. But De Minaur will play in Sydney anyway as he has received a WC.

 

[rogerg7312]

Tsitsipas lost, so it is now

1 Istomin 63 (playing vs Harrison tomorrow)
2 Pella 64 (playing vs Rublev tomorrow)
3 Simon 89 (playing vs Cilic tomorrow)
4 Mmoh 175 (playing vs De Minaur tomorrow)
5 De Minaur 208 (playing vs Mmoh tomorrow)

 

[Hawaiigrip]

Final wild cards to Millman and Bolt. Special exempt to De Minaur. Maybe another one to Gilles Simon if he wins? Otherwise has to be cleared as Pella is in in Auckland main draw and the rest have lost.

 

[rogerg7312]

Simon won - he could get a SE now
