All seeds through to the FQR with the exception of the Dutch 7th seed. Robert Carter beat Harry David Meehan in QR1 in two close sets before winning the QR2 in three close sets.
Why does a WC get used on Fitzy when he was inside the cut as a direct entrant anyway????
As far as I can tell, the last DA was Minar (WR 728 at the entry deadline), so Fitzy (who was ranked 750 at that stage) wouldn't have made the cut even though he is ranked above Minar now.

R1: Constantin Belot & François-Arthur Vibert (FRA/FRA) UNR vs Dan Evans & Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1630
R1: Pierre Bonfré & Markus Eriksson (SWE/SWE) WR 1759 vs Jarryd Bant & Alan Bevan UNR
R1: Dan Cox & Dan Smethurst WR 1173 vs Miles Bugby & Keelan Oakley WR 2375
The other five R1 pairings have a bye into the QF. Interesting that Sean Thornley is playing with Oli in the doubles (third seeds), while Dave Rice isn't playing in the doubles at all!
