Exactly the same number of votes across the full 8 groups as last year, which is interesting

16 women and 11 men are through

3 groups of 9. But only 2 will proceed (plus ties) from each group.

To make a 6 player + final.

Groups will go up around 11 ish. Maybe later!

Of the 27, I make 9 doubles players wholly or largely. 1 in 3 as opposed to 1 in 4 who started the journey

I see that there were overall 16 women and 16 men with 4 votes or more. But as it shook out that was not enough for 5 of the men to get through to the SF. So we have the 16 / 11 SF split.

JoMo was the only player to get 5 votes, so 1 more than 4 players who got through with 4 votes, but he ended up 4th in the tight Group D. Arthur was 5th in that group with 4 votes. In other groups Julian, Marcus and Kyle each finished 4th with 4 votes.

 My instinct is that in the semis, as the groups have slightly more women than men, we will probably see a man and a woman get through each group, making it a 3 men and women final: probably not a startling prediction, though!
