Wild Cards are Milton & Coupland, dont know the rest!! Milton has had a good week in Felixstowe & Coupland had a good run in the Doubles at Wimbledon took out Rice & Cox, Klein & Jones & lost tough quarter to the winners Trevisan & Lopez With Smethurst, to be honest Coupland & Smethurst should have won the boys doubles!! Coupland is fit again after picking up a virus in Tunisia in March, he is serving big & I think he can have a big week in Frinton!! His game is perfect for grass!!!!

Actually Dyce may not get the wild card even though he won a round this week. Normally the policy with the Juniors is that they get only one wild card in the two Futures blocks.
No I dont think Dyce will get the wild card, apart from the 2 I said it will prob be Evans & possibly Corrie?? playing well, I dont think all the wild cards will go to juniors. Surely Sean Thornley will be in the mix or a wild card as well, for qualies at least.2 have definately gone to the ones I said!

Evans, Cox & Rice...possibly Dyce are at the Europeans so I would be surprised if any were around for Frinton or Manchester. Milton & Coupland have definately got wild cards, possibly Smethurst again or he may be in Manchester....home event?

Cox told me that he would be doing Manchester, but I haven't been in contact with him this week. The European events start on the 23rd, so they won't have left.
Dyce and Rice aren't doing the European events. I believe that they'll play Futures/Challengers week in and out till December except for the two weeks of the USO. At least Dyce will...
Maybe... I would be surprised if any of them were playing this week except for Rice & Dyce although I think Rice is going to the Euros. Dyce could well be in Frinton or Manchester???

I am not completely sure if Rice is going but I know for doubles reasons he is a favoured option with Evans. If Pauffley is in the team it is as a non travelling reserve, as he has not heard of any nomination! I could not find any thing regarding British team on tennis europe.

I would love to see Orion Modebe & Marc Beckles do well in the qualies at Frinton,both are great guys & deserve a break. Marc has switched his passport to Barabos in order to get more chances playing futures in Britain, given a kind first match they can shock a few..........I hope!!! Would be good to see Paul Bishop win a couple matches too. Giant George Coupland for the title!!!!!!!
