Anton Matusevich and Ali Collins are added to the British entry from last week. Ali faces the 14 year old Danish girl who recently reached a $15K final, and won another the following week.
Another good win for Jack yesterday, but the girls exited in round 1 (though Ali did better than I expected against Clara)

Emile Hudd v (Q) Michael Heller (USA)
Just to mention (for our Irish brethren) that Georgia Drummy did amazingly well, taking out Caty McNally (the McNallys are a big tennis family), who is WTA 732, as well as being JWR 40, ex 21.
That's a tough one for George Loffhagen. Interesting to see a new young Dominican player - wonder if this is the Estrella Burgos effect in action? Or maybe too early for that?

Or not such a tough one as all that
R3
(15) George Loffhagen def. (WC) Martin Damm (USA) 6-0 6-0
Jack Draper lost to Nick Hardt (DOM) 0-6 6-4 6-2
Aidan and Tim lost their dubs QF 9-11 in the MTB.....
Wow. That's a win. Not to take away from Mr Loffhagen, whose gifts are tremendous, but given that Martin Damm had removed the third seed yesterday, you do have to wonder, given the scoreline, if he was wholly at his best. A comprehensive win would be one thing, but 6-0 6-0 is rare.
