Hmm not sure he doesn't though. Who else gets the spare one?
It is an interesting one - if they kept it back and only Ryan and Jan were playing today and both lost, it feels weird to then give it to them. They may have hoped one would win and break the tie, so to speak. But they didnt.
So what they do seems a strange one to me - maybe they need to wait for Nottingham to finish or Queens/Halle and see if there is a deserving overseas player who comes through? Schoolkate for example, if he doubles up with back to back challengers this week after Ilkley, he may get their nod?
Hard to see them not giving it, Ryan and Jan losing, and then them giving them one?!
Personally agree with the above! I guess all they could now do is bump up one that isn't those two? Fery maybe? I feel it more likely it's a non Brit as well though sadly!
Nava, Faria, Landaluce and Atmane are also still in Nottingham and not in main draw. Not sure if a title would be anywhere near enough for them, although Landaluce has some interest as a recent top junior
I guess the point is whoever wins Nottingham could get in the mix.
Personally I'd like Fery to get the upgrade! Probably should've been in Nottingham still, young and I think of the options I'd see him getting a win more... plus he's a fav of mine :)

I guess they need to sort it out before they allocate Eastbourne wild cards as well. Whoever gets upgraded, if anyone does, is free to also take one for Eastbourne if offered. Although they have given them as consolation prizes in the past, if I recall.
