Early starts for both.

James First on Centre and Colin first on Number 1 - Both 9am Local starts (so 15 mins from now)

In what sounds like something out of a Boggo nightmare, it'll be (q2) Ilhan or Peya for Wardy next - Peya is up 7-6 5-4*.

Good to see Colin giving singles qualifying a go here - I wonder if he's going to do this more often and see where it takes him with his singles ranking (tough, of course, if you're going too deep in doubles events to get to qualifying in time! ) or if it's just with a view to being the backup singles player in the DC tie.

That's probably a good thing, given that Wardy beat Ilhan 6-3 2-6 4-6 in Chennai just before the Turk's good run at the AO!

Very good to see Colin having a singles outing.   Pity he couldn't get a win, but it was a pretty togh draw.

As was said, it's often going to be a bit difficult with his doubles commitments.  But it is good especially with David Cup in mind, when assuming Flemski are picked for Davis Cup ( won't they JL ?! ,)  if he can at least keep manage some decent singles competition.  Don't quite see Ken being the back-up singles player  

Trouble for him in future is even if Flemski are at venue in time, we hope that will be an ATP venue and he can't really be even guaranteed to get into qualifying, especially if his ranking falls much further.  Indeed, I see it is due to drop about 100 places to outside the top 600 in Monday week's rankings.

So, it's going to be kind of difficult for him to keep up his singles ranking and get appropriate singles competition, especially if Flemski continue to play as we hope at top level.

11am local start for James - 1st on Ct 1
