The first of two rounds of qualifying is well under way with 8 Brits trying to join wildcards Oliver Golding, James Ward and Dan Cox (plus Andy Murray, if fit) in the main draw.
The cut was higher than I expected, meaning only Alex Bogdanovic, Morgan Phillips, Josh Goodall and Chris Eaton got in by ranking. George Morgan, Sean Thornley, Marcus Willis and James Feaver have been given wildcards
Sean took a 6-3 lead in the tiebreak only for George to save 4 set points and then convert his first match point of the tiebreak to win 6-1 7-6(7). A vital win for George considering he lost last match from matchpoints up and here had 13 breakpoints to 1
