Chris Llewellyn qualified to join Graeme Dyce and Michael Thompson in the main draw
Dyce is the 5th seed and plays American Yohansey Williams in rd1. If he reaches the quarters [as he's seeded to do] and wins a round in doubles, he'll be back in the top 100. He slipped out again due to inactivity.

Jade Curtis is the 3rd seed. She plays American Allie Will in rd1. She should reach the semis here, at least.
For some reason Anna Fitzpatrick is playing here, I've no idea why she's taken to playing junior tournaments instead of futures; unless she can't play any more senior tournaments this yea...

He'll probably get a w/o next ...

Just like when people write their stories when they play the likes of Football Mana...
