The first Future of 2010 has a massive 128 player qualifying draw running for four days from Friday to Monday. The main draw starts on Tuesday and four of our biggest risers in the rankings last year (Dan Smethurst, Morgan Phillips, Dan Cox and Josh Milton) should all be in it.
Half a dozen more Brits will need to win five matches just to get a ranking point:
QR1: (q12) Neil Pauffley WR 710 v Hunter Harrington (USA) UNR QR1: Luke Campbell UNR v (WC) Gregory Levy (USA) UNR QR1: Paul Bishop WR 1744 v (WC) Ridley H Seguso (USA) UNR QR1: David Brewer UNR v Martin Prikryl (CZE) WR 1503 QR1: (q13) Alexander Ward WR 716 v Hector Infante (ESA) UNR QR1: Matthew Short UNR v (q8) Marco Mirnegg (AUT) WR 638
The top seed in Neil's section is (q2) Ti Chen (TPE) WR 426 and the top seed in the Wardinator's section is (q7) Vladimir Obradovic (SRB) WR 615, while the winners or Paul and David's matches will face each other in QR2.
