Wimbledon 2021

Final qualifying has been happening this week, although how that all works with isolation bubbles, and the other tournament(s?) running this week, I dunno.

There's one Brit lass left in the running, the Brit blokes all got beat.

Katie Swan becomes the first female British player to come through Wimbledon qualifying for 20 years. On men's side Arthur Fray lost in 5 sets in final round qualifying from 2 sets up.

From what I understand all players are being put up at Central London hotel and ferried to and from Wimbledon

British players draw

Jack Draper plays Novak Djokovic
Andy Murray plays N Basilashvili
Dan Evans plays Feliciano Lopez
Jay Clarke plays D Gerisamov
Liam Broady plays M Ceccinato
Cameron Norrie plays L Pouille

Jo Konta plays K Siniakova
Francesca Jones plays Coco Gaiff
Emma Raducanu plays V Diatachenko
Samantha Murray Sharan plays Sorana Cirstea
Katie Boulter plays D Lao
Harriett Dart plays Elize Mertens
Heather Watson plays K Ahn
Katie Swan plays Madison Keys
Jodie Burrage plays Lauren Davis

Dominic Thiem and Simona Halep have withdrawn with injuries.

Tough draw for Katie Swan that.
Ouch.

Hmm tough for Andy too but if he is able to get through his one who knows????

Think winner in men's for me has to come from Federer Djokovic or even Clilic Murray would be a complete surprise
and either Kerber Keys or Azarenka in the women's love to se Jo reach at least Semis if possible

Siniakova lost to Ostapenko in today's final of whatever umpteenth tournament it was. So, Konta's up against it too.

Jo Konta has been ruled out of Wimbledon. This is due to a member of her team testing positive for Covid.
Konta has been deemed to be a close contact therefore must self isolate for 10 days.

Shame Katie Swan showed so much promise.

French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas beaten 6-4 6-4 6-3 by Francis Tiafoe.

Katie Boulter is through after a hard fought 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 6-4 win over Danielle Lao.
