Priddle is becoming one of the top and most consistent Brits without a ranking point. Always wins a couple of matches in each tournament seemingly. Surely just a matter of time now....

QR2: Chris Priddle UNR beat Sergio Sikharulidze (GEO) UNR by 6-3 5-7 6-0
FQR: Chris Priddle UNR v (q4) Sergei Yaroshenko (UKR) WR 1266 (CH 356 in 2004)
Yaroshenko looks like a bit of a 'ringer', unfortunately - he beat Jamie Baker in straights back in 2005, took Edward Seator to three tight sets last year and Chris lost to him in the doubles last week 2 & 2.
James Feaver has a qualifier in R1 of the main draw.

Look at it this way - at least 1 Brit is going to get a ranking point and that should be a good thing.
Feaver will probably win this, and it's a nice draw for him to continue to move up the rankings, but Priddle is getting closer to that point, and it will surely come soon, but probably not this week unfortunately
Well done to Chris for qualifying, though I must say I hope Feaver wins this too (preferably a close match) since Chris must have got his confidence fix for the week by qualifying and I don't really want Feaver's good run to have a setback.
