Weird that Cesar Ramirez is playing here!

I see there is a Michael Ward in the qualifiers. Is he related to James Ward or Alex Ward or is it just a coincidence all three are called Ward?

Evo is top seed in qualies again, so no SE or DA.

Hopefully he'll ease through again like he has in the last two weeks!

Ian Atkinson as well as Tom Burn!

Evans just missed out again, so another couple of matches for him, although with his confidence behind him he should qualify, even if he Colin Fleming probably in round 2.

Evans, Arlidge, Brassington, Corrie, and Fitzy should all qualify, to join Bamford, Illingworth, Feaver, Hewitt, Bains, Milton and maybe Flanagan and Kinsella (and Rice) in the main draw.

Guess the WC's though should be a fun game!

I think Flan, Kinsella and Rice will have got them if necessary, but the first two should have made the cut when the SE were cleared, so maybe 1 for Rice.

Allinson, Miotto and Wire are the only other Brits on the alternate list who aren't in qualifying, and none of them scream WC candidate at you (although Miotto could have got one), and there's a chance Skupski has blown back from the US to play here and taken a WC (same with Jonny Marray, but I doubt it)

i have heard the wild cards are nott, rice, pritchard. 4th 1 possibly egerton?! hahaha.

Welcome to yet another newbie ... there seem to be quite a few of you around at the moment.

maybe Skinner for the fourth WC?
