Ben & Andrew are also trying their luck in the doubles:

R1:  Hiroyasu Ehara (JAP) & Andrew Gregory WR 2391 vs Michal Navratil & Robert Rumler (CZE/CZE) UNR
R1:  Mateusz Moj & Marek Mrozek (POL/POL) UNR vs Ben Pritchard & Nicolas Rosenzweig (FRA) UNR

R1: GREGORY, Andrew (GBR) WR 870 lost to ROSENZWEIG, Nicolas (FRA) WR 943 6-0 6-4

Unfortunately he hasn't been 100% since the food poisoning in Spain.    Hopefully he can turn the corner soon.

Just to add that I think it's really great when players' connections can be bothered to post on here, whether openly, anonymously (e.g. by pming one of us) or somewhere in between! We have so little information to go on much of the time that we are bound to jump to conclusions that aren't necessarily correct, and a bit of input from those who really know makes such a difference.

It was clearly a very bad bout of food poisoining if he's still feeling the effects, but then I got the impression at the time that it was and even if it just takes a few % off your energy a few weeks down the line, players tend to be evenly matched enough at this level that it can be more than enough to make the difference. Either way, it's a horrible thing to happen after you've just taken a big step like this and are probably very keen to make a good first impression.

Looking on the bright side, when he does get his first win as a Brit, it's going to get even more noticed and celebrated now after these first few setbacks!
