Daniel Smethurst is top seed in qualifying here. The other seed in his section is 8th seed and WR 856 Roberto Marcora. Should be 3 points in the bag for Smethurst but slip ups happen.
Plays Matteo Crosti in his 1st match

Bastl is in pretty horrible shape at the moment, so Dan should really come through this.
PS I'm not sure how Capone is ranked is now ranked 684, he was pretty bad at the Nottingham futures last year. He must have tanked I guess, although not sure what his doubles partner thought about that as he was just as bad in that.
Riccardo Ghedin (ITA), with (3) Hernych the seed in R2 (5) Igor Sijsling (NED) Leonardo Tavares (POR), with (7) Bemelmans (BEL) the seed in R2, or (2) Stephane Bohli (SUI).
Tavares...although Ghedin would be an OK draw too.
