Two qualifiers and rather kind R1 draws - unranked qualifier, lucky loser& wild card plus a barely-ranked qualifier!
FQR: (q1) Ed Corrie WR 771 beat Joel Kincaid (USA) UNR by 2 & 4 FQR: (q3) Matt Short WR 852 beatv Anthony Delcore (USA) UNR by 6-4 7-6(3)
Moving to this week's rankings:
L32: (1) Jamie Baker WR 271 v (LL) Anthony Delcore (USA) UNR L32: (Q) Edward Corrie WR 765 v (Q) Nick Chappell (USA) UNR L32: (5) Chris Eaton WR 346 v (Q) Michael Redlicki (USA) WR 1531 L32: (Q) Matt Short WR 829 v (WC) Daniel Whitehead (USA) UNR
No obvious alarm bells rung by the unranked opponents, although Nick Chappell was a top 30 junior last year.
