Good to see Miles back in Europe!

Hope at least 2 of these can qualify!

Jacques-Oliver Moers is 37 and unranked. Probably his local club or something.
He's played 3 or 4 futures qualies, qualifying once but has never won a MD match.
Miles really ought to beat him.

Maxime Teixeira is 18 and unranked. Again someone who's played 5 qualies tournaments, all on clay, qualified once but never won a MD match. On hard courts Andy Kennaugh ought to come out on top.

Julien Mathieu is 24 and ranked 713. He's a lefty and was ranked 253 in October last year. Must have failed to defedn a lot of points over the last few months...played Lyon ATP, in October, lost first round and didn't play again till last week when he made QF in France F1 losing only to 2nd seed. Basically, Ed Corrie has no chance!

Laurent Vigne is 20 and ranked 1211. Played loads of Satellites last year so he's a bit silly really knowing they were being scrapped. Both in Egypt too, so I'm guessing his ranking may be a little inflated. Given this is on hard courts and Eaton is ranked a few hundred places higher I'd expect Chris to win this.

We'll see what happens!

Looking further in the draw we'll be lucky to get any qualifiers.

Kasiri would have to beat 591 ranked Clement Morel
Kennaugh would have to beat 625 ranked Millot
Corrie will lose first round
Eaton will have to play Mathieu (Corries opponent)

I wonder if anyone made the cut for MD

No shocks in the GB matches in QR1:

QR1: Miles Kasiri WR 1421 beat Jacques-Olivier Moers (FRA) UNR by 6-2 2-6 6-2
QR1: (q9) Andrew Kennaugh WR 764 beat Maxime Teixeira (FRA) UNR by 4 & 2
QR1: Edward Corrie WR 1421 lost to (q7) Julien Mathieu (FRA) WR 713 by 4-6 6-1 6-2
QR1: (q10) Chris Eaton WR 778 beat Laurent Vigne (FRA) WR 1211 by 2 & 1

QR2: Miles Kasiri WR 1421 v (q2) Clément Morel (FRA) WR 591
QR2: (q9) Andrew Kennaugh WR 764 v Alain Ntamag (FRA) UNR
QR2: (q10) Chris Eaton WR 778 v Axel Michon (FRA) UNR

We can't have any DAs here because some of the top seeds in qualifying were higher than any of the Brits in the Alt list.

Ed Corrie did well to take the first set.

Great results there...

Particularly impressed with Eaton, hopefully he'll really kick on this year!

Good luck to Miles, Andy and Chris in QR2.

Great results for Kasiri, Kennaugh and Eaton there. Eaton's scoreline is particularly impressive, I'm hopeful that he might be able to make a breakthrough and reach the top 500 this year, last  year he played several opponents ranked in the 300-400 range and although he lost all those matches, they were very close 3 setters and could have quite easily gone the other way. Shame Ed Corrie was unable to maintain that 1st set form, looks like he got outplayed in sets 2 and 3.

Unfortunately the news isn't particularly good from today's rd2 qualifying matches

C Morel (Fr)(2) bt M Kasiri (GB) 6-3, 6-2

A Ntamag (Fr) bt A Kennaugh (GB) 6-4, 6-3

C Eaton (GB) bt A Michon (Fr) 6-1, 6-3

It was always going to be a tall order for Miles but I thought it might have been a little closer. Morel's ranked about 900 places higher at 591 and made 3 futures finals in 2006. What happened to Kennaugh though !  That's a bit of a shocker against an unranked French player   When Bladetiger spoke to him in Sheffield, Kennaugh said that he's been struggling with consistency from one match to the next, I guess this is a good illustration of that.

Great win for Chris though Very emphatic wins for him so far, hopefully he qualifies

Alex Michon is a top junior player. Good win for Eaton.

Qualifying rd3:

C Eaton (GB) v  J Mathieu (Fr)(7)

Chris plays Ed Corrie's conqueror for a place in the main draw, hopefully Ed can pass on some tips on what worked in the first set and Chris can get revenge for him. Mathieu is ranked 713 so about 50 or so places higher than Chris, it's definately a very winnable match for Chris. Mathieu made the quarters of France F1 last week, in 2006 he reached a futures final in September but did little else all year.

Hopefully there will be match stats available for this match

That's true, he's only just 16 and already ranked 81 in the juniors so it's impressive that Eaton beat him so easily.

He's the person Evans beat to become the number one in Europe last year.

Eaton seems to be in good form. He may have a chance here.
