This one had me torn between Henry and JoMo - but JoMo is probably the second most exciting player in GB tennis right now - I hope henry gets through and I get to vote for him next round!!
Looking the most open across the board group. All bets off.
Definitely, hard to know where we will get to with votes - weve had 32 here so far, last year we got circa 37 or so in each opening round group, but we have almost a day left so could exceed that number this time. And who knows where those half dozen to a dozen votes will go?
