It's last chance saloon for any direct acceptances for Wimbledon, with Dave Thomson and Ahmed El Menshawy requiring semi-finals here probably, which is a big ask. However Ahmed's first opponent, though highly ranked, does not have much of a track record on clay.

R1 (L64)

David Thomson (GBR) Vs (6) Nikala Scholtz (RSA)
(5) Francis Casey Alcantara (PHI) Vs Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR)

As expected Ahmed took advantage of his higher ranked opponent's vulnerability, but Dave hasn't stayed around for the doubles after his early defeat

R1 (L64)

(6) Nikala Scholtz (RSA) d. David Thomson (GBR) 7-6(5) 6-4
Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR) d. (5) Francis Casey Alcantara (PHI) 6-1 6-2

R2

Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR) v Vadim Pinko (LTU)

R2

Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR) d. Vadim Pinko (LTU) 6-3 6-2

R3

(11) Mikhail Biryukov (RUS) d. Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR) 6-1 6-1

Ahmed is still in the doubles but that defeat ends all realistic hope of a British boy gaining direct entry to Wimbledon
