The second week sees a marginally stronger field, with the Grade increased from 5 to 4, including GB second ranked 1993 boy Andrew Bettles as second seed.
Round 1 has been completed, with half the seeds falling, and Andrew Bettles only just surviving a tough battle with Robert Carter. 4th seed Ciaran Fitzgerald was the highest seed to topple, losing to qualifier Joshua Page.
Mathias Bourgue (FRA) v (7) Robin Goodman (GBR) Callum Lloyd (GBR) v Connor Glennon (GBR) Joe Rogers (GBR) v Laurent Lokoli (FRA) Lucas Pouille (FRA) v (2) Andrew Bettles (GBR)
The question is can either of the French boys who reached last week's final be stopped from making it a repeat. Andrew Bettles would appear to have the best chance of doing so.
....the answer looks like no, unless Connor Glennon can buck the trend:
