The latest ATP rankings for 13/06 will determine the 11 direct entries to the play-offs from these not by then into the Wimbledon MD or qualifying by DE or WC and available/wishing to play.
So, if the 11 top ranked players without wild cards sign in and play, we can expect
Charlie Broom
Anton Matusevich
Jack PJ
Stuart Parker
(Dan Cox - will be in Ilkley)
Jan Choinski
(Henry Patten - will be in Ilkley)
Mark Whitehouse
Oscar Weightman
Harry Wendelken
Giles Hussey
Arthur Fery (may also get the NCAA ticket)
Ryan Storrie
Further down Luke Johnson is in Ilkley still and Blu Baker is next and in the USA.
Do we think those 11 will take up their places or is it likely to be more diluted?
Unfortunately I can't see Ryan appearing. He's again not been seen for a while. More injury issues?
Not sure about Jan. He's been appearing in ITF clay draws and withdrawing. Jack PJ has been posted missing recently too

forgot about Arthur - not sure who will get the NCAA nod regardless, Jo Monday or Hamish Stewart where high up those rankings but not sure if they are back in the UK or not?
Agree with Indy - no real chance of Ryan Storrie, nor Jan, nor Jack PJ (unless he was on the cusp of recovering and they couldn't justify a full quali WC because he hadn't played and so now was the time to get back on court)
Josh Paris has a playoff wildcard, no? And Toby Samuel
So that takes Josh out of the direct entrant list if you're counting backwards (and get that far)
Will Jansen will definitely have one (as top junior, I'd expect, or even the direct discretionary wildcard)
So I make the direct 11 to likely be:
Charlie Broom
Anton Matusevich
Stuart Parker
Mark Whitehouse
Oscar Weightman
Harry Wendelken
Giles Hussey
Luke Johnson
Dan Little
Julian Cash
Millen or Toby
Unfortunately I can't see Ryan appearing. He's again not been seen for a while. More injury issues?

It's a shame about Jack. He seemed to be doing well in a few tournaments and then nothing over the grass court season. Hope it's not an injury but a deliberate strategy for some reason.
Have only received the womens draw from tonight sorry to you guys, I received it from one of the players coaches who I am very good friends with. I can certainly see the mens draw being a lot stronger than the womens draw, I will try my best to get it for you guys ASAP :)
Harry Wendelken - Alexis Canter
Toby Samuel - Daniel Little
Josh Paris - Mark Whitehouse (4)
William Jansen - Stuart Parker (3)
Anton Matusevic(2) - Oscar Weightman

Lui Maxted - Ben Jones

Thanks madadman. Anton versus Oscar is the match of the round there.
