No Alex Ward this week (he didn't enter in the first place, so clearly always intended his East Asian trip to end with Cambodia F2) but Richard Gabb should be seeded and Joshua Jones is also a DA.

Tom Burn should be in the main draw here. Sadly, he has managed to pick the only hard court 10K next week he wouldn't easily be seeded at (though of course that's because it's the only one in the Tennis Europe area, even if it is in the Asian part of Turkey) - based on the entry lists: TUR - seeds WR 225-406...

Gabi Taylor's second week here sees her in the section with the same 2 seeds as last week, but starting with the one who beat her.
