Was just checking to see what happebned yesterday, but draw still at Q3 stage and OOP is still Sunday's.

Did notice some advice at the bottom of the OOP :

BALL AND RACQUET ABUSE STRICTLY ENFORCED!

Which begs the question, what sanctions are there if you don't participate in this ball and racquet abuse ?    biggrin

Odd you say that. From what I've noticed, Brits seem to draw other Brits about as much as you'd statistically expect them to.

As for the draw, I wouldn't say it's dreadful.

To judge from his results the last 5-6 months, Cox has been playing at about a WR700-800 level (since he played those Turkish futures and/or won his maiden title in Norway, though my memory may be faulty). Therefore I'd rather he drew an unranked wildcard which should at least give him a point. If he'd drawn someone ranked about 500 with the opportunity to play the 8th seed next then he'd been getting 0 points this week most probably.

I hope Alex Ward gets another win and a good draw.

Otherwise he'll have nothing to show for 8-10 wins
