Josh Goodall (likely to be one ofthe top two seeds), Dan Cox and Burnham Arlidge are DAs here - quite surprising there aren't more Brits, but maybe they don't think it's worth going over for one week when there is another Futures event in the UK the week after. Points should be much easier to come by in Ireland though!

It's not a very strong field at all for a $15k. Only 3 players in the top 500 (as of when the entry list was puplished). On paper Goodall must be clear favourite.
Ha but with a 545 ranking. He is WR 787 in the current rankings list which will presumably be the one used for seedings. Just really depends on who remains in and what their current ranking is.

WOW Markovic...would never have expected that from his junior results
From what I've seen and heard about him he seems just genuinely love competing, and is someone who will do his best to absolutely maximise his talent. If he trains as hard as I imagine he does, that is bound to have a good effect on his results.
He seems to be more of a doubles player, he's entered here with the Zimbabwean.
he has had a lot of success in doubles at junior level, wouldn't surprise me to see him specialise in that once he reaches the seniors...maybe the sort of player for whom a spell on the US college scene might be good?
