6 Brits in round 2, and potentially 2 more with Bradshaw and Evans when the results of those matches come through.
Well done to Illingworth, Rice, Seator, Brewer, Arlidge and Miotto for getting their wins, while Thornley and Corrie came close to upsetting some non-British players as well.
On the doubles front, Allinson & Miotto lost 3 & 4, Bradshaw & Brassington 6-7(3) 4-6 (not a good day for either of them! ) & Illingworth & Seator (2) 0-6 7-5 [5-10], while Milton & Paire won 6-7(5) 6-1 [10-4], Brewer & Campbell 2 & 3 & Pauffley & Willis 6-4 7-6(2)! Really pleased for Neil & Marcus.
Shame that it's just Ed left, but probably expected given who everyone was playing, but well done to all 8 seeds for reaching the QF's - doesn't happen that often I don't think
If Brewer took Walter to a 3rd set TB, then surely Ed can go better than that and beat him, and reach the semis here.
