Four march on, two fall, as Aussies aim for Wimbledon
Li Tu was the pick of the first wave of Australians in Wimbledon qualifying, knocking out Colombian Daniel Galan, the fourth seed, 6-3 6-2. Galan is ranked No.122, 46 places higher, and made the last 16 at Wimbledon two years ago before running into Jannik Sinner whereas 29-year-old Adelaide player Tu is yet to make the grasscourt slam main draw. Joining him in the second round will be Tristan Schoolkate, James McCabe and Alex Bolt who all won the first of three matches they will need to negotiate to make Wimbledon fortnight for real. Recent Ilkley Trophy winner Schoolkate had to work harder than expected against Argentine world No.198 Facundo Diaz Acosta before coming through 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 6-3. Bolt had a simpler Monday afternoon at Roehampton, putting away Frenchman Harold Mayot 6-3 6-4. McCabe had a 6-4 7-5 win over Borna Gojo of Croatia. There was heartbreak though for Jason Kubler, who was due to face a British wildcard ranked 943rd in the world. Shortly before he was due to face Oliver Bonding, Kubler, who does not give up easily, had to yield to a right knee injury and withdraw. There was disappointment too for Omar Jasika who fell to Czech 15th seed Dalibor Svrcina 6-1 6-2. World No.1 junior Emerson Jones will lead Australia's women's qualifying challenge that begins on Tuesday. Jones, who reached the Australian Open and Wimbledon junior finals last year, is joined in the draw by Talia Gibson, Priscilla Hon, Daria Saville, Astra Sharma, Destanee Aiava, Maddison Inglis, Lizette Cabrera, Arina Rodionova and Taylah Preston. Thirteen Australians - eight men and five women - already have a place in the main draw, among them James Duckworth and Aleksandar Vukic who meet at the Eastbourne Open on the south coast on Tuesday (local time). Meanwhile, Australian No.1 Alex de Minaur, short of grasscourt match practice after his early exit at Queen's Club, has signed on for the Boodles exhibition at Stoke Park, joining Alexei Popyrin at the upmarket event.
