Swan is the new Brit-girl after Laura got sidelined. What's up with Laura? Is there any chance that she may come back in semi-decent shape?

last I heard robson was having some sort of hip operation around Wimbledon time.

Yeah, I was tad surprised at the result. Do you know what the prognosis is for Nish's chances of making the YEC? Does somebody have to drop out or will it be Paris dependent?

Both Kei and Isner could still qualify in Paris.

Since JMDP dropped out, the current situation is that three of the following four will qualify (Cilic, Thiem, Kei and Isner) depending on how they do in Bercy. Nobody else is in contention. I hope Isner loses out.
