Yes, but that's the rankings for you - Jay is 40 places lower that Horansky - indeed, Jay is at the back end of all the players who've made it into the draw.

So whoever he got was going to be a struggle, on paper, and Horansky at least has a 'fair' ranking - Jay could have done a lot worse.

 True of course - but Horansky has played 24 career finals at challenger and future levels and 20 are on clay, as well as 3 of his 4 challenger level finals. So clay is his bag !

Looks like Shapo is out of the main draw, with shoulder trouble.

PS Think the betting sites are calling your name, Jon They have Jay as slight favourite over Horansky.

Brilliant to see the 16 year-old French lad, born 2004, getting a win over Tomic.

Makes me very happy - for many reasons !

Bravo, Arthur Fils

Didn't think 39 y/o Tommy Robredo would still be hanging around grand slam qual entry level. I see he has got 60% of his points (from 2 events) dropping in the coming weeks, and without those he would be heading towards the 400 mark, so Wimbledon could well be his last go, outside of WCs or a potential PR, as I see he hasn't really been too active since 2019. Currently in a battle with Quentin Halys.
