Judging from the ranking of the top seed in qualifying, Miles will be in the main draw if he's fit to play.

QR1: Luke Campbell UNR beat William Lynch (AUS) UNR by 4 & 3
QR1: (q16) Amadeus Fulford-Jones WR 1153 lost to Miguel Cicenia (VEN) WR 1525 by 2-6 6-3 7-6(9)

When Amadeus is drawn against a player ranked nearly 400 places below him, you always think he might have a chance, and this match was sooo close. He took the 1st set 6-2, was pegged back in the 2nd and finally lost 11-9 in the 3rd set tiebreak.

QR2: Luke Campbell UNR v (q15) Mait Kunnap (EST) WR 1107

QR2 will be played on Sunday.

Should be ok. They just said he was ill rather than injured...

R1: Miles Kasiri WR 1307 v (WC) Milos Raonic (CAN) WR 1518

Miles could hardly have asked for a better R1 draw (though Raonic did get his ranking point in the last couple of weeks because he went on the ranking list today) but is likely to face no. 1 seed Frederic Niemeyer (CAN) WR 282 if he gets to R2.

On Tuesday, Miles is 4th on Court 2 at about 17.30 GMT.

Should be an easy point for Miles. Niemeyer has won his last two futures events though....

Sheddie · administrator

It's not as easy a rd1 match as it may seem, Raonic may have only 1 point but he's only 16 and a very talented junior. He gained that point by defeating world no 692 Fabrice Martin a couple of weeks ago.

Still, if Miles is 100% again, he should win and it'll be another ranking point. Can't see him beating Niemeyer, that's really rotten luck but you never know, he's beaten Vico (who's ranked higher) in the past.

I think that's a little unfair...he was quite ill just 4 days ago and had to pull out before his rd2 match last week. Could have been food poisoning or something and that's really draining. I think he would normally have beaten Raonic.

He definately has a lot more to offer, he can be a top 500 player at least...not someone ranked in the 1000s, you can see that from some of his results so far this year. To be able to beat someone like Vico indoors, shows his talent.
