Fitzy was the 3rd alternate and I'm guessing that Ben Pritchard (who was 2nd alternate) probably scraped in as a DA - if not, then he accounts for one of the WCs. Brits below Ben and Fitzy on the entry list with ATP or national rankings were:

In Q draw - 4 BRASSINGTON, Kyle GBR 1256= 1
In Q draw - 5 GABB, Richard GBR 1343= 1
Poss WC? - 6 STERLAND-MARKOVIC, Stefan GBR 1429= 2
In Q draw - 9 HEWITT, Ashley GBR 1756= 1
In Q draw - 13 O'LEARY, David GBR 48 1
Poss WC? - 15 EL MENSHAWY, Ahmed GBR 139 1
In Q draw - 18 SIDAWAY, Daniel GBR 139 1
In Q draw - 20 $ ALLEN, Tom GBR 244 1
In Q draw - 21 THORNTON-BROWN, Adam GBR 244 1
In Q draw - 22 BUGBY, Miles GBR 244 1
In Q draw - 23 BURTON, Lewis GBR 244 1

You won't believe this, but it seems Evo will play Gabb for the third week in a row!

Flippin heck !     I thought that was a bit much until I just looked back to Dan's last match before his break and realised there's more     i.e. that Dan's last match before his break was at the Frinton future in July where he lost in Round 1 to an err certain Richard Gabb.  That was also Richard's last senior tournament before the last 3 weeks.

So that's, for each of them, 4 tournaments in a row that they have been drawn successively in L32, L16, L32 and L32.

Although Richard did win that one in July, I would imagine he's now like  -  Give us a break !!   Unless he enjoys the challenge
