L32: (3/WC) Andy Murray WR 4 v (WC) Radek Stepanek (CZE) WR 68 or Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) WR 26 The first seed he could meet is (16) Simon. He's in the same quarter as (8) Monfils and (not that it's likely to matter with a draw like that on clay) the same half as Rafa.
Quite a strong British presence in the doubles in Greece this week - & a change of partners for Col, not to mention a week away from the "devil dirt"for all three of our boys! : R1: Jordan Kerr & David Martin (AUS/USA) vs Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray R1: Travis Parrott & Fil...

Chris Eaton turns up in Quals here as expected and will hopefully join Dan Cox in the main draw. Chris is seeded 6 and his first two rounds look simple enough. The other seed in his section is the 2nd seed, Alexander Sadecky who Chris beat 4 and 4 in Bath this year. QR1: (6) Chris Eaton 544 vs Reinhardt Tro...
Although Toby Martin and Evan Hoyt are top-seeded for the second week here (draw below), expect strong competition from the non-Brits, especially De Vroome, Completo and last year's Les Petits As winner Halys. Josh Sapwell opens against a familiar opponent, Belgian Clement Geens having beate...

QR1: Matthew Short WR 932 lost to Denes Lukacs (HUN) WR 799 by 3 & 3 Boggo and Baker would have been in qualifying here had they not been still in action in Little Rock, so it's now left to James Ward to fly the flag in the main draw. -- Edited by steven on Saturday 9th of April 2011 03:03:50 PM
Anne Keothavong was close to direct entry in the main draw, but has presumably pulled out, given her injury, but there is interest in the qualies: Q1: KONTA, Johanna (GBR/AUS) WR 240 v SOLER,ESPINOSA, Silvia (ESP) 4 WR 164The Spaniard may be higher ranked but has won few matches this year. The winne...

Deja vu for Josh Ward-Hibbert as he draws the Spaniard who comfortably beat him last week. He's joined by Sotogrande Academy compatriot Rob Carter, who has a good draw, and Sam Hutt, who doesn't - going from top seed at Nottingham to playing the top seed here. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Andres Artunedo Martinav...

L32: Dan Smethurst WR 511 v (8) Daniele Giorgini (ITA) WR 330 (CH 242 last Aug) Giorgini won Italy F4 this week, so is in good form unfortunately. They played each other in doubles last year, when Dan and partner won.
L32: Andrew Gregory WR 1287 v Qualifier Only one player in qualifying is ranked in the top 1000, so unless he gets late entrant to qualifying Borvanov WR 337 (which knowing Andrew's luck, he probably will), this should be one of his best chances yet to break his points duck since becoming a Brit and save...
