Not seeing Evo on here or week 24 - what's that likely to mean?

Week 24 hes an alt in qualies for the tournies in Germany or Holland

https://www.dartsrankings.com/tennis/schedules/daniel-evans

im guessing he hasnt entered it but would ask for a wildcard for Ilkley that week 24; week 25, he may see if he can get one for queens but wouldnt surprise me if he asked for one for Nottingham.

week 26 - hes presumably going to be on the Wimbledon qualies entry list but hoping he will get a main draw wild card off the back of his history, ranking (good enough to be considered still) and maybe off some decent runs in Birmingham, ilkley, Nottingham - if he gets the Wimbledon wildcard , maybe he will also get one for Eastbourne ?

basically, it looks to me like hes keeping his options open and playing the field to maximise his position.

I could be well wrong though!

I think Im right that the wild card play offs are the same week as Queens (mens)? Has anyone seen any information about it - is it Thursday and Friday they play, last 16 day one and last 8 and 4 day two? Presumably no news anywhere around entrants?

Yes that week, and I believe Thursday and Friday is usual with that round by round schedule.

We traditionally don't know the field or draw until the evening before start of play following the earlier Wimbledon WC announcement. Though once we take out these WCs the play-off direct entrants come from the rankings list ( though clearly not all will be able / want to play ) and some ( most? ) of the WCs will already have been won by previous defined successes ( some folk here will know what these are ).

And the match results are also hard to find, often not available until the evening.

It's also hard to speculate exactly who will be in the playoffs - some of the possible players are likely to be ruled out as they are entered in ITF's that week.
