Strange situation as Tommy Paul and Grigor Dimitrov fail to sign in for main draw at Queen's Club, now playing qualifying

In perhaps one of the more peculiar stories of the season, tennis stars Tommy Paul and Grigor Dimitrov will have to play in the qualifying rounds in order to participate at this year's Cinch Championships in Queens.

Both Dimitrov and Paul are ranked high enough to receive automatic entry to the event, however, neither man was able to sign in for the tournament's main draw. Therefore, they will have to compete in qualifiers to secure their participation.
