All the Brits - Neal, Joe and Lloyd/Dan - go today and it would be great to see all 3 get through;

Neal to build on their sole title from last week and go into Wimbledon on a roll; Joe to build some sort of form, it is still proving to be a tough time for him and Rajeev; and Dan and Lloyd as Dan really could do with some sort of good news.

I mentioned elsewhere, I wonder if Dan put his mind to it, he could win a doubles slam? He is talented enough and maybe if this year continues to be tough, he will start to play doubles some more next season?

Depending on who gets the slots, Lloyd and Dan at the Olympics in Paris could be really interesting? If I recall correctly, top 10 ranked players get in and get to pick their partners? I reckon by next June, Neal and Lloyd will both still be in the top 10, not sure re Joe as things stand

Neal and Wes are consistent enough but are they really worthy of the top ranking? Losing to a scratch pairing on grass is not a great look

I think they are worthy of top ranking on the basis of having accumulated more ranking points over the past 12 months than anyone else on the Tour.
