Richard Bloomfield and Jamie Baker are in qualifying here.

Richard as expected is drawn in the group with the number 1 seed, while Jamie is in group with number 2 seed.

(1) KENDRICK, Robert USA v KUZNETSOV, Alex USA
MIDDELKOOP, Matwe NED v EBELTHITE, Colin AUS
LINDAHL, Nick AUS v BLOOMFIELD, Richard GBR
HIPPENSTEEL, Kj USA v (8) GOLUBEV, Andrey KAZ

This was the scene of Richard's battle with  Arnaud Clement, losing in 2nd round 26 64 67(79), pity todays match is not on Stadium court to give that bit of inspiration.

5 points for qualifying. Nothing for anything less.

I hope they can turn it on this week because they'll need to looking at the draw!

We must remember this is Jamie's no1 surface and that he can win these matches.

Go Brits! clap.gifclap.gif

Typical that Jamie and Somdev are in the same section...

Somdev didn't get a wild card but Ignatik got one! confused.gif But maybe Roddick got it for him as he trains at his brother's academy.

I'd be surprised if either of them qualified, but good look to them and they probably should win their opening match at least.

That said, Bloomers is *4-3 down in the first set at the moment, so he may needs to go 3 sets to win

And he breaks at the start of the second set!!!

It's looking good for him now to reach round 2, where it could be Golubev who won the first set 7-5

He might well have tried and not made the cut for Bronx qualies.

And Bloomers break again to win the match, winning 7-6(2), 6-3 and going into round 2.

Golubev leads 7-6, *4-3, so it's likely to be him

Most impressive was Richard's hold of 4 out of 5 break points while Lindahl held 0 out of 2.

So yes later today (after 6.30 BST) it's Andrey Golubev (RUS) WR 163.

Head to head Golubev leads 1-0 with a 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4 win in Feb 2006.
