Some horrible draws there for the Brits and not too promising in terms of winners, although I'd expect Slabba to win, Illingworth is the higher ranked player, and Skupski and Hewitt have the ability to win
4 players in round 2 would be a result though which is not want you want to say in a 10K in your own country
Given the stir the mad Pole caused in Sheffield, it seems amazing that he still only has one ranking point. Hopefully that means Illingworth has a chance.
