Well deserved wildcards. Hoping Kokkinakis gets through qualifying but it won't be easy.
Dunno about Barty being well deserved. She has barley played at all and this will be her 8th Wildcard and she is only 18.

Fair point. Who would you give it to? Nobody is exactly knocking the door down on the women's side. Bains for the experience?

Victoria Azarenka won't be competing at Roland Garros, still injured
Red Button sweet happy with that. But yeah four courts would be good!! even if they were on say ESPN or ESPN2
Oh really, will she be right for Wimbledon?
Happy to see Kokkinakis and Kyrgios get chances they have done well recently, especially Nick winning 2 challenger titles. Bit rough on Kubler who has had some decent results not to get a QWC imo.
Qualifying draw for mens has been released.
Aussies-
Matt Reid vs Evgeny Donksoy[3]
Thanasi Kokkinakis vs Tsung-Hua Yang
Samuel Groth[28] vs Fabio Cipolla
James Duckworth vs Illya Marchenko
Don't see Reid winning his first match but the rest are in with a shot. I like Thanasi's chances especially maybe even to qualify, the seeds in his draw are De Bakker and Soeda.

Thanasi won 6-1 6-2, while Sam won 7-6(5) 6-4.

7-6 7-6 loss for Reid.
Really good win for Groth. Was not expecting that. Duckworths match got postponed after he lost the first set 6-4.

He's ranked around 100 now isn't he? been injured for a while.Tipsarevic withdrew from RG a few days ago. He'll be replaced with David Goffin.
At least he still has his protected ranking for Wimbledon.

118 at the moment but has a protected ranking of about 40. He was supposed to come back this week for the Dusseldorf tournament, but said he just wasn't ready.

Thought so, doesn't feel that long ago he was ranked 8th went down fast but i'd expect him to bounce back like most do.
Rogowska won 6-2 6-3 and so did Gadjosova by the same scoreline. Was interested to see Medina Garriguez in this qualifying draw surprised she's outside the top 100.
