QR2: (q1) Josh Goodall WR 343 beat (WC) Alan Bevan UNR by 2 & 1
QR2: (q2) Neil Bamford WR 828 beat Robert Morgan UNR by 5 & 4
QR2: Alastair Barnes UNR lost to (q16) Leander van der Vaart (NED) WR 1233 by 1 & 1
QR2: (q3) Ian Flanagan WR 867 beat George Coupland WR 1502 by 3 & 4
QR2: Alistair Felton UNR lost to (q14) Andrej Martin (SVK) WR 1197 by 3 & 1
QR2: Kyle Brassington WR 1408 lost to (q5) Peter Lucassen (NED) WR 898 by 3-6 6-4 6-4  - pity, after Kyle took the 1st set
QR2: (WC) George Morgan UNR beat (q15) Luca Rovetta (ITA) WR 1197 by 3 & 4  - result of the day, probably
QR2: Luke Campbell UNR lost to (q6) Jiri Krkoska (CZE) WR 903 by 1 & 4
QR2: (WC) Tom Farquharson lost to (q10) Daniel Danilovic (MNE) WR 1059 by 4 & 3
QR2: Jagdev Sagoo WR 1502 lost to (q7) Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 911 by 3 & 5
QR2: (q9) Maniel Bains WR 1059 beat Jeffrey Zungunde UNR by 6-3 4-6 7-5
QR2: Burnham Arlidge UNR beat (q8) James Feaver WR 1021 by 7-5 5-7 7-5  - very close match and quite an upset!
QR2: (q12) Matt Illingworth WR 1127 lost to Roel Oostdam (NED) WR 1289 by 7-6(4) 7-5  - ouch!

FQR: (q1) Josh Goodall WR 343 v (q13) Saar Steele (ISR) WR 1143
FQR: (q2) Neil Bamford WR 828 v (q16) Leander van der Vaart (NED) WR 1233
FQR: (q3) Ian Flanagan WR 867 v Julien Dubail (BEL) UNR
FQR: (WC) George Morgan UNR v (q5) Peter Lucassen (NED) WR 898
FQR: (q9) Maniel Bains WR 1059 v (q7) Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 911
FQR: Burnham Arlidge UNR v Roel Oostdam (NED) WR 1289

So, we don't have any GB v GB FQR matches, but the top three will have to self-destruct quite badly not to go through. (which, as we know. doesn't mean it won't happen)

Indoors, they don't try to play GB Futures outdoors at this time of year.

Indeed jonny, a good win for Tom. freerider, Farquharsson has been playing British Tour. I saw him play in Corby and he took a set off Matt Bright who is world ranked and then today he beat Pritchard who is a decent enough player. I think he's doing OK for 16 myself.

I think so johnny yeah, he'll get his wildcard in the next home Futures, so hopefully he can get it back.

Give him a WC next week!

Any results from today?

For once they didn't:  Goody won 3 & 4  , Bamfs 7-6(3) 6-3  , Flan 4 & 4  , Arlidge 7-6(7) 1-6 (  ) 7-6(3)  , Morgan lost 6-3 5-7 3-6  & Bains 3 & 0  , but he's in the MD as a LL! 

In the MD, Bloomers is the top seed, Goody the second, Seator the fourth & Kasiri the fifth.  Skups is there, as are Evans & Chris Eaton, while Tim Hewitt, Fitzy & Sean Thornley all have WCs.  Quite a showing!

In the doubles, Bloomers & Skups are the top seeds, Goody & Bamfs the second & Eaton & Carsten Ball the fourth! Another good showing!

Bloomers and Josh really should rake through this field given their class indoors....if neither of them win this title then it will be quite disappointing......Kasiri as the dark horse

really hoping Josh can makes some finals in these upcoming British futures....he's top 200/top 150 calibre when he plays to his potential on indoor/grass/fast hard......I know John lloyd and other top coaches like the way he gives it absolutely everything on court but maybe not channeling that in the right way...he does get too down on himself at times and lets it affect the rest of the match, probably the difference between winning and losing a lot of these tight matches he's had

don't understand why he's played so much in portugal this yr, doesnt really make sense.....reading the posts ppl have been disappointed at the results but the courts are just stupidly slow out there....for shotmakers, guys who like to get to the net like Goodall, Eaton, Bamford etc......its almost futile at times against a good grinder as you cant hit through them on the surface and the balls just sit up everytime you go to the net...........don't know why these guys havent played more in france

for guys like Matt Illingworth/Tim Hewitt....natural slow court players - high on fitness, on court work ethic, consistency and court coverage its the perfect surface
