Really would expect a Brit to win this event, with Bloomers probably the favourite, but Eaton and Milton have pretty decent chances as well.
Plenty of Brits have good chances of round one wins and realistically we could get 10 into the second round.
If a decent Eaton turns up to the tournament, he should look to be making semi's at a minimal, having not seen Milton play and anything about his style i dont know if Eaton should be winning that one with his aggresive play, really we dont know if he'll beat Inglot in the first round if he plays like he did against Jones last week in India. You dont know with this fella.
Also the dubs - another title looks to be looming if he and Inglot form a decent partnership. Hopefully continue on a great amount of success recently on the doubles scene.
i think the Eaton's s&v style is good for Milton, he's a baseliner with whippy groundstrokes. He showed against Peya at Wimbledon qualies that he doesn't mind people coming at him. despite this i think Eaton has a better first few rounds than him, they might not meet in the semis
Shorty won't get a better chance to get on the board - and he does deserve it
Fitzy also has a godo chance of a win...the Georgian has lost 4 straight and has only won 5 MD matches in the last year (but he did beat Fitzy 1 and 0 earlier this year)

* I appear to have duplicated some results given by SC earlier. My excuse, I didn't read that post properly but assumed the ones in BOLD were the only ones known.
