QR2: (q6) Alex Ward WR 604 v Thomas Kromann (DEN) WR 1129 or (wc) Nicola Remedi (ITA) UNR
Kromann was ranked 855 in June 2009 but has since fallen back, possibly because he has succumbed to a rare shrinking disease. ITF says his height is 0.00 m - that's even smaller then Evo, isn't it? His last match against a Brit was a loss to Josh Milton in 2008.
The other seed in this section is (q16) Wang Tak Khunn (FRA) WR 1069.

R1: (LL) Alexander Ward v (SE) Cedric-Marcel Stebe (GER) WR 572
Stebe won Italy F5 last week
Make that a very lucky loser. Both the number 1 & 2 qualifying seeds went out in the FQR too, but presumably didn't stay around long enough for the sign-in.

It's a Future, so there's a random draw among the fqr losers for LL places.
At first sight (looking at the rankings) a good draw until you find out why Stebe got the SE!

R1: (3) Frederik Nielsen (DEN) & Dan Smethurst WR 649 defeated Francesco Borgo & Giuseppe Molon (ITA/ITA) UNR by 2 & 3
R1: Dan Evans & Alex Ward WR 1669 vs Juan Sebastián Cabal & Jorge Montero (COL/CHI) UNR
QF: (3) Frederik Nielsen (DEN) & Dan Smethurst WR 649 vs Riccardo Bellotti & Matteo Marfia (ITA/ITA) UNR
Dan & Alex will play the Italian pair, Nicola Remedi & "Stoppers" (WR 2060), if they can but get through their first round match. The Italians, however, disposed of the second seeds, Eitzinger & Matsukevitch (AUT/RUS - WR 586) by 2 & 2 in the first round, so will be no pushovers!
