Brewer and Slabba will meet in R2, and are in Middelkoop's quater. Middelkoop has now won 3 successive futures titles, as well as 2 doubles titles. Let us hope he is tired.

Grrr why cant Slabba be in the quarter of any of the other seeds, apart from top 2....if on form and injury free, he can beat Middlekoop but he would have had an even better chance of making semis against any of the others

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Hoew and Bright will be first in line for LL spots.

Slabba for the title!

1 point for Bains and Brewer.

Early bath for Feaver!

Not just that, but why are all the Brits in the same half of the (singles) draw?

helki · Futures qualifying

Bains won 2-6 6-3 6-3

and Brewer delivered a double bagel.

However, Bains and his Irish mate dipped out to the top seeds, Leonte and Loglo 3-6 3-6. Good effort from them.

Slabba up first thing tomorrow against Assam. Feaver, a little later and both involved in their respective doubles at the end of the day.

Well done to Bains and Brewer. Both of them should be top 1000 at year end now I think.

Come on Slabba and Feaver!

David's comfortably into three figures, Johnny - this is his 11th point, which will leave him at a provisional 921st; Maniel's now gained his 7th, but he'll need another 2 for a top 1000 placing, because his points have been earned over rather a lot of events (some players are in the 1K with 8 points, but they've played fewer events than Maniel). He needs a win on Wednesday, or to reach the quarters in Nigeria next week, to fulfil his recent prediction to the Wrexham Leader.

looking at the main draw for this, did anyone ever expect to see a draw with alex slabinsky would have the most normal name out of all 8 seeds?

Predrag Rusevski MKD [1]
Sherif Sabry EGY [7]

Komlavi Loglo TOG [3]
Richard Ruckelshausen AUT [8]

Gvidas Sabeckis LTU [6]
Bogdan-Victor Leonte ROU [4]

Alexander Slabinsky GBR [5]
Matwé Middelkoop NED [2]
