Both Brits are in the same qualifying section here:
QR1: (q3) Alex Bogdanovic WR 172 v (WC) Jordan Kerr (AUS) UNR (winner to play Michael Kohlmann (GER) WR 915 or Tatsuma Ito (JPN) WR 256) QR1: Richard Bloomfield WR 557 v Artem Sitak (RUS) WR 350 (winner to play Jordan Cox (USA) WR 597 or (q8) Giovanni Lapentti (ECU) WR 237)
Kerr, who with Ross Hutchins knocked Boggo and Slabba out of Wimbledon, hasn't played singles since Stockholm qualifying and last won a singles match in s'Hertogenbosch qualifying in June 2007. He has a singles CH of 356.
H2Hs: Boggo beat Ito on grass in Nottingham last year 6 & 2 but Bloomers has a 2-0 H2H against him.

****bird of a draw for Boggo! He really should have no problems in qualifying for the main draw, where i'm fairly confident he'll be drawn against Mahut!

Yeah, I remember you mentioning it before that the courts can be a bit dodgy over there.
not just me, do you remember a certain mr murray saying they were the worst courts that he had ever played on - which didnt go down to well consdiering he'd been given a WC.
its just that they have really bad bounces, effectivly forcing you to S&V most of the time to remove the court from the equation

Couldn't have ended up in a better section and he has avoided all the seriously dangerous unseeded players, so he realistically would be disappointed not to qualify here.
