Qualifying draw is out and with the Belgium top seed, it looks like a few late drop outs from the main draw entrants. No sign of Beth, Lisa in qualifying, so they must have got wildcards. Emma Hurst has a wildcard and possibly Maia. A lot of Brits in qualifying. I' m hoping to get down tomorrow as there are a...
Jack Oswald tried his luck in qualifying, but lost fairly easily. L32: Evan Hoyt WR 685(7) v Jessy Kalambay (SUI)(Q) WR 1387 L32: Dylan Gee UNR (WC) v Aziz Dougaz (TUN) WR 929
L32: Brydan Klein WR 177 v (5) Yuichi Sugita (JPN) WR 127 (CH 116 in 2012) H2H 1-0 but it was 11 years ago (!) - Brydan won 5 & 6 in juniors in Sarawak in 2004.
Just wanted to pass on my best wishes to Annie K who tied the knot today. I hope you had a wonderful day and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. I think it goes without saying that she will have been a stunning bride. Hopefully we get to see a few pics!

Mr Murray benefits from being the world number 2 - it means that he automatically heads up the 'Ilie Nastase Group', as opposed to being drawn in the 'Stan Smith Group' with Mr Djokovic. The Ilie Nastase group comprises him, Mr Wawrinka, Mr Nadal and Mr Ferrer. Mr Djokovic received Mr Federer, Mr Berdy...
