Burnham Arlidge (GBR) WR 923 vs. (WC) Michael Grant (USA) WR 1738 Chris Priddle (GBR) WR 1084 vs. Martin Trueva (POR) WR 1209 (5) Richard Bloomfield (GBR) WR 539 vs. (Q) Abdullah Magdas (KUW) WR 1476 (8) Sean Thornley (GBR) WR 662 vs. (WC) Pascal Meis (GER) UNR
Pretty tasty R1 draws to be honest, Grant, Meis and Trueva are all '90s borns, 4/4 too much to ask?!
Burnham Arlidge and Chris Priddle (GBR, 2297) play Jannis Liniger and Jarryd Maher (SUI/AUS, UNR) in the first round, and would probably play a half-Brit pair in R2, as Phillip Barlow is partnering Dutchman Mark Vervoort and they're the third seeds, at WR 2262. They'll play Loic Ducourau & Egor Kovalev (FRA/RUS, 2878).
Paul Brown has a WC with Russian Vladislav Dubinsky, and they play Thurner/Waite (GER, UNR) with a probable match against 2nd seeds Boje-Ordonez and Palacios-Siegenthale (ESP) in the second round.
R32: Burnham Arlidge (GBR) WR 923 beat (WC) Michael Grant (USA) WR 1738 6-3 7-5 R32: (5) Richard Bloomfield (GBR) WR 539 beat (Q) Abdullah Magdas (KUW) WR 1476 7-5 7-6 (3)
R16: Burnham Arlidge (GBR) WR 923 vs. (Q) David Thurner (GER) UNR R16: Richard Bloomfield (GBR) WR 539 vs. (LL) Ismael Rodriguez-Ramos (ESP) WR 1767
Good start here, and winnable R2 matches as well - although Arlidge's opponent did beat 6th seed Rumenov-Payakov in the first round, so may not be 'unranked' quality.
Looks like Burnham and Sean missed golden chances to reach QFs today
L16: Burnham Arlidge WR 916 lost to (Q) David Thurner (GER) UNR by 3 & 2 L16: (5) Richard Bloomfield WR 574 beat (LL) Ismael Rodriguez-Ramos (ESP) WR 1764 by 1 & 4 L16: (8) Sean Thornley WR 653 lost to Ivan Nedelko (RUS) WR 959 by 6-4 6-7(2) 6-4
QF: (5) Richard Bloomfield WR 574 v (4) Gerard Granollers-Pujol (ESP) WR 473
