Pity. Not a good looking result and not good for Jay's chances of being a Wimbledon Qualifying direct acceptance.

The issue is that he is due to drop 83 points ( from 2 events ) on 25/05 which will be the relevant ranking date for the Wimbledon Q entry list.

I reckon he may need to reach the final in the Tunis Challenger 75 next week. RU would see him on 253 points at 25/05 ( SF and he would just be on 231 points ). He will be in French Open Q in the week beginning 18/05 with any points from that not adding in until after the French Open.

No doubt Jay would get a Wimbledon Q WC if he needed one but that would then be one less WC left for other contenders.

A shout of respect for Ryan Seggerman. He played 10 matches this week! 2 in qualies, 4 in the main draw and 4 in dubs. He must be exhausted!
