Tim Bradshaw and Ben Pritchard will be DAs here in what could be the weakest Spanish Future ever on La Palma, the small island in the Canaries that is basically just one big volcano, part of which is projected by some (generally those with a financial interest in scaring people!) to be likely one day to slip into the sea and produce a tsunami which could take out the whole of the eastern seaboard of the USA and a fair bit of southern England.
Might as well bag some relatively easy Futures points there while you can then, boys!
There are just 21 players in qualifying.
QR2: Max Gregor UNR v Alex Domenech-Menacho (ESP) UNR
FQR: Gregor or Domenech-Menacho v Ivan Arenas-Gualda (ESP) UNR

Has a low-ranked Brit ever had a better draw in R1 of a Spanish Future?
L32: Ben Pritchard WR 1242 v (WC) Tinotenda Chanakira (ZIM) UNR L32: Tim Bradshaw WR 974 v (8) Abraham Gonzalez-Jimenez (ESP) WR 694
Chanakira keeps getting WCs in Spain for some reason but has lost 8 of his last 9 matches and since the start of 2008, he is 0-5 v Brits having lost to Phillip Stephens, Jonny Kinsella, the Bishop and Richard Brooks (twice) without winning a set.
