Hopefully this trip will be a success because of the competition between the lads as well as the competition for points.

I assume there will be an LTA coach at least with them.

I guess we're seeded to get 2 qualifiers. Lets hope for 3 then! smile.gif

Can't ask for much more than that

As for tomorrow I am going to go for 3 qualifiers - Milton, Cox and I think Willis can pull a shock out of the bag

Smidster win the prize!

That's not a bad result as we had a maximum of 4 qualifiers and in a round about way we have it!

Well done boys!

This looks a very solid 15k judging by the level of entries. Much as I admire Dan Evans trying to qualify at challengers, I cant help feeling get stuck in to the main draw here would have served his experience better, and produced a few points.

Who'd have thought Dan Cox would give Sheddie his place in the main draw? confusedbiggrin (don't know if that was an accidental slip or you were just trying to see if anyone was paying attention, but it's brilliant! smile)
Good to see four of them in the L32, though Dr No wasn't the luckiest of lucky losers given that he's drawn the top seed in R1 and it's possible that despite winning 10 matches between them already, they could come away without any points. Even if the others do manage to upset the rankings in R1, Josh would play Haider-Maurer in R2, "Sheddie" is in the same quarter and Meatball is a match away from playing the no. 2 seed. cry

What horrible draws!

all that effort in qualifying for what is likely to be nothing, as i can't see any of them winning respective matches.

I hadn't realised that Zopp was a bit of a chump. That's a real bonus for Josh: he's got a good record against chumps.
