Slabba should walk through qualifying in what could turn out to be an important morale boosting manner. I've no idea what his clay court game is like but winning is everything when it comes to confidence so here's hoping!!

There will be 3, 4 or 5 GB qualifiers after an eventful first day of qualifying (in the sense that there were quite few three set matches), particularly for Richard Gabb who kept himself in his match against Jamie Whiteford by winning a 2nd set t/b in which he must have been match points down by 12-10 before coming back from a set down (again) to beat Edward Seator, whose comeback sadly did not exactly go to plan.

It's rained non-stop today where I live (near London) so I'm guessing there's been no play in Bournemouth? The forecast was just as bad down there for today.

Sod all on the LTA site, but that's hardly surprising for an organisation that can't even employ someone who can spell "quarter-final"!
