Good choice of WC imo. The LTA are so lazy, every other main challenger draw on the ATP website has been published yet the shrewsbury draw has not even got its qualies draw up
(1)Timo Nieminen (FIN) vs Matthew Smith (GBR) Karol Beck (SVK) vs Frank Moser (GER) Ian Flanagan (GBR) vs Neil Bamfrd (GBR) (8)Ralph Grambow (GER) vs Dominick Clewes (GBR) (2)Ladislav Chramosta (CZE) vs Yann Marti (SUI) Tomas Schoeck (GER) vs Richard Irwin (GBR) Daniel Cottier (GBR) vs Orion Modeve (GBR) (5)Michel Koning (NED) vs Aleksander Vasin (RUS) (3)Igor Sijsling (NED) vs Joshua Milton (GBR) Matthew Illingworth (GBR) vs Alex Parry (GBR) Edward Allinson (GBR) vs Nikki Roenn (GBR) (6)Rasmus Norby (DEN) vs Joshua Miller (GBR) (4)Artem Sitak (RUS) vs Grzegorz Panfil (POL) Jeffrey Zungunde (GBR) vs Philipp Marx (GER) Adam Taylor (GBR) vs Mathew James (GBR) (7)Olivier Charroin (FRA) vs David Rice (GBR)
Here's the qualifying draw again, this time with comparative rankings for those who might be interested. There were exactly enough entrants to fill the draw, so nobody who turned up got left out. Unfortunately the Brits with the best (albeit outside) chances of getting through have ended up in the toughest sections of the draw, so Sheddie might be right about Rice having the best chance out of anyone.
QR1: Matt Smith WR 877 v (q1) Timo Nieminen (FIN) WR 370 QR1: Neil Bamford WR 873 v Ian Flanagan WR 898 QR1: Dominick Clewes UNR v (q8) Ralph Grambow (GER) WR 641 QR1: Richard Irwin WR 872 v Thomas Schoeck (GER) WR 785 QR1: Daniel Cottier UNR v Orion Modebe UNR QR1: Joshua Milton WR 1279 v (q3) Igor Sijsling (NED) WR 507 QR1: Matthew Illingworth WR 1161 v Alex Parry UNR QR1: Edward Allinson WR 1041 v Nikki Roenn UNR QR1: Joshua Miller UNR v (q6) Rasmus Norby (DEN) WR 551 QR1: Jeffrey Zungunde UNR v Philipp Marx (GER) WR 642 QR1: Adam Taylor UNR v Matthew James UNR QR1: David Rice WR 1220 v (q7) Olivier Charroin (FRA) WR 626
