Rob Dee turns up to break the record... must have been off last week practising his celebration

This could be dangerous. His opponent is 17, doesn't appear to have a junior ranking and has a 1-7 pro record with his only victory coming by retirement!

Could be foiled at the final hurdle

I should mention that Robert is only on for equalling the record tomorrow,he would have to lose again the following week to break it. It's going to be an exciting day though. smile.gif

Here's the full GB-relevant draw - lots of Brits here, including Morgan Phillips, back in Spain and in the same section as Nadal (Jorgi Nadal, that is) - a bit sad that he didn't draw Dee, to be honest. All players unranked unless a ranking is shown:

QR1: David Rice WR 1244 v Deivids Juksa (LAT)
QR1: Morgan Phillips WR 1404 v (WC) Sergi Sanchez-Carrillo (ESP)
QR1: Alexander Hutchings v Micha Jonathan Winkler (SUI)
QR1: Benjamin George Levi WR 1404 v Ruben Alapoint-Rubio (ESP)
QR1: Alexander Ward v (q15) Emilio Rodriguez-Navarro (ESP) WR 1221
QR1: Robert Dee v Carlos Guerrero-Pancorbo (ESP)
QR1: Greg Goodall v Marton Bots (HUN)
QR1: James Armstrong v (q11) David Ollivier-Baquero (ESP) WR 1170

Great from Morgan, WCs are always unpredictable but this one looks to have been a great opportunity for a confidence boost for Phillips. Hopefully he'll be able to qualify this week and start the move back up the rankings.

Go Morgan!! (sorry Rice) that's a great FQR draw as well. Though heres where someone informs me that Payakov just beat the 1st seed or something.

No, he did beat a seed but not one of the top ones.

I guess Morgan must be quite keen on getting a point this week or next to stop himself falling off the rankings altogether.

Oh no, that's a pity cry still, at least he's getting closer.

Ward's opponent is WR 680 (James is WR 508), a career high, but has only won 2/8 matches so far this year. His last 2 matches against Brits were a win v Brewer in 2006 and a loss v Hutchins in 2004. James beat Vasiliev in doubles last month.

Gutted for Morgan

The fella Wardy faces in the first round also competed in Cuba a few weeks back where he was beaten 6-3 6-3 by Yohny Romero whom James then beat 6-4 6-3 in the next round

I reckon Wardy will make the Semis
