Dee-watch (wonder what happened in the court case btw, good to see him back anyway) - Silverio lost 2 & 0 to Matt Illingworth in POR F1, 1 & 1 to Bam Bam two years ago has been ranked in doubles, overall record in Futures (mainly qualifying) 10-23 since 2006, 1-3 this year, qualified for a Future for the first and only time last year. I'd say virtually no chance of a Dee win but he may avoid bakery products.
Notso forecast - Burdalic is 1-6 in Futures qualifying including 3 bagels consumed, but he has a win and a tight 3-set loss to his credit last month. Dee might have an outside chance against him, but the other half of the dream team probably won't get close to winning a set.

I'm not quite up to speed on Not-so's previous results. Is he in the same league as Dee in terms of win/loss record??
Before this week, Charlie had a 1-13 record in Futures qualifying, including two double bagel losses (one against Dan Cox), 9 bagels in total and 8 breadsticks, i.e. 17 bakery products in 29 sets.
His previous win was in 2008 against Sascha Meis of Germany, who has a 0-13 record including a 0 & 1 loss to a Brit, Oscar Podlewski, as well as the loss to Goode.
So this is the first time Goode has beaten someone who's beaten someone else at Futures qualifying level. I did say I thought Dee might have had a chance against Goode's opponent, but never thought they might both win!
Dee meanwhile has handed out a bakery product for the first time on the Futures circuit - his singles record on ITF is now 4-65, with all 69 matches finishing in straight sets.
