Jonathan Overend and Mark Petchey said that the wild card was well deserved due to Jamie's work ethic. They have concerns over how his second serve will work at ATP level but said that Jamie is doing everything he can to maximise his talent and that's all you can ever ask of a player. They were concerned about whether he could actually compete with the top players at Queens, so aren't sure if he could be a top 100 player one day, but said that if he could do himself justice and get a WC at Wimbledon then it could see him inside the top 200 this summer. They said that as Jamie was beaten by Bloomfield this week, it was obviously a tough decision, but his age and potential was probably the deciding factor as Bloomfield was one of the 'late developers' that Britain seems to produce.
