Sad face is for Hewitt

No explanation needed

This is just good experience for him, he's still so young

 

[Shell]

Honestly have no idea how quals work. Quick google says players have to win three matches to qual.

104 players get thru via ranking, 16 quals and 8 wild cards

 

[Shell]

128 players compete in qualifying, so that's roughly a 12% of players make it to the Slam

I was glad I was sitting down when I saw Tomic had been bundled out in straight sets while on a break at work.

I'd say the bloke should give it away now, but I also read he still "won" $35k just for making it to the first round of qualifying. I'd tank too if I was guaranteed to get that much just for showing up.

Was a complete waste of a wildcard. He didn't deserve that 35k
