L32: (6) Kyle Edmund WR 408 v (WC) Mikolaj Jedruszczak (POL) WR 1106 (= CH) 4th seed Panfil and last week's nemesis Balleret are in the same quarter of the draw. Edit: I'd forgotten the board can't cope with most of the accents in Polish (only a fairly major European language - come on Activeboard!) -- Ed...
The Brits are the top two seeds in the bottom half of the draw: L32: (4) Ashley Hewitt WR 420 v Mauricio Astorga (MEX) WR 929 (CH 687 in Apr) L32: (2) Dan Smethurst WR 405 v Maxime Forcin (FRA) WR 922 (CH 753 in 2011)

Looks like Dasha decided to go home a week early - she still shows as no. 5 on the acceptance list but is not in the main draw: L32: (WC) Elizabeth Thomas UNR v (LL) Sara Sherif (EGY) UNR L32: Jess Ren WR 1113 v (Q) Ingy Hashish (EGY) UNR I'm hoping Jess will be able to 'smoke' her opponent ...

L32: Robert Carter WR 1183 v (8) Marc Abdelnour (SYR) WR 797 (CH 773 last week) James Ireland was meant to be in the main draw here too but must have withdrawn.
L32: (5) James Marsalek WR 566 v Laurent Malouli (FRA) WR 664 (CH 571 in Apr) H2H: 0-1 - Malouli beat James 2 & 4 in Doha last October. The Frenchman went out in R2 in Vigo last week but reached at least the QFs in his previous 4 Futures. In other words, not the nicest of R1 draws for a seed. -- Edited by ste...

L32: (8) Neil Pauffley WR 432 v (Q) Kim Sun-Yong (KOR) WR 1748 (CH 660 in 2006) Kim beat both Dave Rice and Jamie Baker in Malaysia in 2009, lost 7-5 in the 3rd to Jamie Baker in Korea in 2009 and retired 0-5 down in the 1st set in Korea in 2010 - that was the last time he played a Brit and he didn't play on the circu...
Andy could get an early chance of revenge (or repeat embarrassment) against Ernests: L32: (2) Andy Murray WR 2 v Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) WR 25 (CH 8 in 2008) or Ernests Gulbis (LAT) WR 38 (CH 21 in 2011) The rest of his possible route to the title goes as follows: L16: (14) Fognini / tpánek / Benneteau / Bagh...
The main, important tournaments obviously have their own thread but, having mulled it over with DavidC, we wondered if it might be a good idea to sometimes have a thread at the end of the week that just summarised the other results from the week - some don't really warrant a separate thread but are maybe...
Helen Parish is a young Brit who impressed when she first started playing ITFs last year but who then suffered a shoulder injury that is going to continue to keep her out for a while yet. She has just started blogging, and she's brilliant at it: About Helen: http://helenparish.wordpress.com/about/...
