Good to see more entries coming in today after the singles draws. 23 in total now which matches last year's Aus Open final entry. It was 29 entries the previous year and we have got into the 30s with other Slams, so hopefully quite a few more to come. Go on, give it a go! Entries close midnight Saturday GMT so you have the remainder of Thursday and all of Friday and Saturday to enter.
15 or less - Sheddie (?), anonymous (?) 17 - Bagel 18 - telstar 19 - sliced backhand, Var, miriam abc 20 - DF, Vhughes, mdewey 21 - Elegant Point 22 - Brendan F, goldfish, Danny1312 23 - tramlines 24 - Tanaqui, the addict, anonymous 25 - Pierrot, Coup Droit 26 - Bob in Spain 28 - Ralfie 29 - Jon H
So I forgot to set the timer on this, too much going on. I can still set a 24 hour timer, but cant stay up until midnight - I need to go tk bed shortly having been on an overnight flight and not having slept ( middle seat, middle section, economy / weve all been there)!
So Im going to set the timer for voting earlier and hope no one is going to unduly exacerbated at being asked to vote around 2 hours early.
So the vote will close slightly earlier now and apologies to anyone who planned to leave it very late! Ill announce exact time when I get too tired to stay awake longer!

Nearly forgot to do this which would have been exceptionally stupid as I am here!
Ive gone for 22 -dont think the singles draws are that great so hopefully the dubs will come up trumps!
So I am about to complete my personal grand slam - I am very excited and consider myself very lucky and grateful to be able to do this. And my gorgeous wife encourages me to do so - we were hoping she could come too but other commitments means she cant for this one.
And I have John Cain tickets for tomorrow so will be there to support Arthur - you never know he might catch Cobolli cold! If the Italian support are in could be great fun!
Likely to miss Emma as I am on Rod Laver in the evening session. Not sure about access for Cams match earlier but I will suss it out.
Anyhow will try and send some overnight reports and looking forward to some great tennis
Hope Indy doesnt mind, just a little update and please forgive me for jumping in or if i have made an error:
15 or less - Sheddie (?), anonymous (?) 17 - Bagel 18 - telstar, anonymous 19 - sliced backhand, Var, miriam abc 20 - DF, Vhughes, mdewey, Canda 21 - Elegant Point 22 - Brendan F, goldfish, Danny1312, Brittak 23 - tramlines, BlueBelle 24 - Tanaqui, the addict, anonymous 25 - Pierrot, Coup Droit 26 - Bob in Spain 28 - Ralfie 29 - Jon H
I think that gives us 27 entries, still includes 3 anonymous entries though - if that is you, please give us a name and number. And if Sheddie comes back, at any point, please tell us an exact number for 15 or less, otherwise we will give you 15 as default score.
GB men : (1) Julian & Lloyd (2) Henry ( & Harri Heliövaara ) (6) Neal ( & Christian Harrison ) Luke ( & Jan Zielinski ) - potentially vs seed 7 in R2 Marcus ( & Jakub Paul ) - vs seed 15 in R1
GB women : (12) Olivia ( & Tereza Mihalikova ) Maia ( & Qianhui Tang ) - vs seed 2 in R1 Sonay ( & Isabelle Haverlag ) - vs seed 8 in R1
Personally, I'd come up with 6 from the singles draws. So I now need to come up with a figure from these doubles players plus the mixed.
