L32: Josh Milton WR 403 v Antal van der Duim (NED) WR 688 L32: (5) Jamie Baker WR 349 v (Q) Almog Mashiach (ISR) WR 820 L32: (8) Josh Goodall WR 399 v (LL) Philip del Orno (DEN) WR 1218 L32: (7) Dan Cox WR 373 v (Q) David de Goede (NED) WR 1524
Milton plays at 07.30 GMT on Monday (with the winner of his match likely to face top seed Goffin WR 237 in R2), the rest presumably on Tuesday.
The other seeds in the other Brits' sections, familiar either as a Boggo nemesis or as players who have grabbed lots of points from GB Futures in the past, are:
I said last week that Goodall needed a kind draw to help him end his dismal run and sneaking in as the 8th seed was obviously a big help. A lucky loser followed by a qualifier or a wild card is about as good as it gets.

Being the top seed in the doubles (with Amir Weintraub of Israel) didn't do him much good: they lost to the unranked Israelis, Gilad Ben Zvi & Saar Steele, by 6-4 4-6 [10-12]!
Going to be tough for both Baker and Goodall although hopefully Cox can get through his match. Chettar is an 18 year old though and took out the 2nd seed in the last round so may well be a talented Junior
Chettar's win against Burquier today was the win of his life - he hasn't shown form like this ever before, indeed Burquier beat him in straight sets the last time they met. So hopefully Burquier had an off day and Coxy won't find it too tricky.

Great to see the good week continuing here even if not in Greece.
In the 'race' for year-end GB no. 3, Boggo has stole a march on the rest this week with his exploits in Eckental but it's now incredibly close for GB no. 4.
2010 points only, top 10, actual current GB ranking in brackets - note if still in this week:
