The draw should be out any time, but as this is my last opportunity tonight to set up the thread I am doing so now, hoping that someone else will add the draw when out. The main news concerns injuries - we hope that Mimi Xu's retirement in Canada will not prevent her taking part. Unfortunately Ben Gusic Wan...

R1:- Alice Gillan (GBR) WR668 [SE] v Yeonwoo Ku (KOR) WR428 (I'd have thought Alice would have made the draw without the SE as she was 5th on the qualifying list with three places plus two SE's in the main draw. Doesn't matter though, she's in anyway )
QR1: Isaac Bokungu (COD) UNR vs (q12) Mattias Southcombe WR 2125 (CH = 1337 last November) No sign of Oliver Crawford in the acceptance list for the main draw, so it must have been more than a knock that caused his retirement while ahead in his last 16 match earlier in the week.
The Osaka Mayor's Cup has been held as a top level junior event for 31 years, but only one Brit has won a singles title (Martin Lee in 1995).
