Chris & Josh & Josh & Marcus should be in with a chance. Wouldn't entirely rule out Dan & Neil, either...
Two more early results: Marcus's withdrawal through injury ( ) means Steinberger & Wiltschnig have had a walkover, BUT so have Dan & Neil against the fourth seeds!
Dunno about Smidster, but I found them on the home page of the tournament web site. The results of completed matches don't appear to be listed in full on any page that I checked, however, just 4/5 at any one time!
An apparently easy draw for Goody in the second round:
L16: (1) Josh Goodall WR 326 vs (WC) Robert Rumler (CZE) UNR!
And of interest in the bottom half of the draw (so affecting Cox, Pauffley & Eaton/Illy, most immediately one or other of the latter two): the Hungarian second seed, Adam Kellner (WR 341), is out, beaten 3-6 6-3 5-7 by the Czech, Roman Jebavy (WR 635).
Marcus's result is now up & he did at least start his first-round singles match against the Czech qualifier, Michal Schmid (WR 1002), but retired at 2-6 1-3 down.
It looks as if Cox has bowed out on the website page. His opponents name is in green but the score is the wrong way round though, hmm... I wonder. The score was: 6-3 4-6 7-6 (2) whoever that was to.

Shame for Marcus to be injured and Josh to lose a close match but good wins for Neil and Goodall here and hopefully Cox will have edged through that match and they are got the name of the winner wrong.
Decent chance of some good points from this event given the amount of Brits playing and hopefully one of them can go on and take the title.

Unfortunately, it was a win for the Pole.

If Chris & Josh can beat the WR 1251s, the WR 2027s shouldn't present too much of a problem... should they? Dan & Neil should be in with a chance, too. They're all in action tomorrow, so good luck to them (daren't say "best of British"...!).
