The second home tournament this month is a grade higher than last week. As a result Kyle Edmund drops down to 5th seed and is in the same section as the Belgian top seed. Toby Martin takes over as second seed, fresh from making an impact on the Pro ITF circuit
Some big upsets in round 2 as Kyle loses a 3hr 17 minute marathon to Jonathan Cornish and Sam Hutt lost early again. Sid Hazarika continued his fine run by comprehensively beating the top seed to ensure a British finalist

Last year during the early part of the season indoors it was Evan Hoyt, Luke Bambridge and Chris Pearce in the TE top 10. Kyle then made his move on clay, reaching the European Championships final during a strong summer, so the results this week and last are disappointing. Evan and Kyle link up with Luke later in the month to try and qualify for the Junior Davis Cup - a tough task without Liam, with possibly the youngest team in the competition
The Spaniard looks to be a big threat here, having beaten Toby. He's another 1995 boy, who won his last Grade 4
