Baker and Eaton should win - Galvani isn't a great player at all, while Pashanski is one of the biggest grass court clowns in the draw so it the absolute perfect draw for him.
Boggo vs. Bolelli will be a tough match, but one that he could win. Bolelli can't return, so as long as he gets a high percentage of first serve in he'll win, plus Bolelli isn't that good on grass.
Think they'll all get through.... that's the hope anyway
Round 2 would be Baker vs. Youhzny, Boggo vs. Gonzo and Eaton vs. Mahut/Tursunov
Murray should reach the 4th round at least, as he'll have enough for Santoro, Malisse, as surely he won't choke against Haas this time.
As long as it isn't Gasquet in the 4th round he'll reach the QF's.... he's the only one in that section who'd have a chance to beat Murray, so a great chance of a QF appearance here against probably Nadal

Chris, Alex and Jamie must all be looking to reach round 2 with their draws, I know it looks like they will have very hard matches in round 2 but getting there would be a great achievement and a boost to all their rankings espically Chris with the additional 15 points for qualifying which equals a futures win already and now if he reached round 2 its the equivalent of reaching a low grade challenger final so a huge chance for him.
Pashanski managed to lose to Fabbiano (outside the top 300) in Rome qualifying this year, and that was on Pashanski's favourite surface, so that's another good sign.

Baltacha vs. Koever ??? (not sure) South vs. Bondarenko O'Brien vs. Peer Cavavay vs. Venus Williams Keothavong vs. King
Baltacha and South in the top half, the other 3 in the bottom half, so Monday for Baltacha and South, and Tuesday for the other 3.
At least Cavaday's going to be on centre court, but she's getting thrashed. Anne should win, but then she'd have Venus in round 2 so won't get any further.
Mel and Katie have tough draws at will struggle to win as well
Can you imagine now how if the men do better than the women (and it's a big IF, because nice as the draws are, I reckon their opponents will still be favourites with the bookies), the LTA will claim it's because they were stingy with the WCs for the men and ignore the fact that it's got everything to do with the draws, which means you should put in as many WCs as possible to maximise the chances of someone getting a winnable draw.

That's exactly what I was thinking when the draws came out.... when all saw the men had easy draws it did cross my mind, but it completely ignores the fact that Pashanski is such a mug on a grass court that I'd be taking games off him, and I'd think Dee could get a set off him.
Let's just hope all the British men win a match so they can say they've done that and then someone will point out to the LTA the obvious flaw
