QF: (1) Dan Evans WR 342 v (8) Sean Thornley WR 637 QF: (3) Dan Cox WR 434 v (7) Marcus Willis WR 610 QF: (5) Josh Milton WR 482 v (4) Antony Dupuis (FRA) WR 453 QF: (2) David Rice WR 443 v (6) Rudy Coco (FRA) WR 545
So, all 8 seeds through, an all-GB top half and GB v FRA in the bottom half.
H2Hs are 1-0 (Ilkley 2010) for Evo v Thornley, 4-1 (including 2-1 this year) for Cox v Willis and 1-0 (3 sets, Wrexham SFs last year) for Rice v Coco.
Milton's opponent Dupuis is 37 years old and was ranked in the top 60 way back in 2001! He won Milan ATP in 2004, beating Ancic in the Final, and was the runner-up at Munich ATP in 2001 as well but tested positive for salbutamol in 2006 and was banned for 2.5 months. His career prize money of $1.57 m may well beat the aggregate prize money of the rest of the draw put together.
