I make it that the chances of no Brits playing each other, when there are 15 in a draw of 32 is 1 in 1079.
Bit of maths on a Tuesday afternoon.
I believe that it is actually a 100% chance, since I understand that in the 1st round of junior tournaments players from the same country are specifically kept apart if possible

I think the only situations when 2 Brits would play each other in round 1 are:
a) More than 50% of the draw is British
b) One of the two comes in after the draw is made as a Lucky Loser (or possibly a Qualifier if the draw is done before qualifying is complete)
c) The organisers mess up the draw
We are guaranteed a finalist - however the two remaining non-Brits look strong. Billy Harris is specialising in winning the hard way. After Monday's 34 game match today he has upped it to 37 with a 14-12 final set tiebreaker to boot

As feared the non-Brits were far too strong in the bottom half of the draw
