A stronger draw than Tipton, with all of the top 5 seeds non-Brits.
Much of a muchness really with the seeds' rankings. Bloomfield and Rice weren't seeded last week, and Michalicka is 3rd seed rather than 6th seed as last week, with Ryderstedt and Nieminen in the same seeding position as last week. although Bloomfield to be fair has had quite a big rankings rise.
Essentially replaced Baker, Goodall, Eaton and Cox with Mertens, Boggo, Bloomfield and Rice in the seeds.
I'd actually say, just in rankings terms, that if you took out Mertens addition as top seed, the seeds overall would be slightly stronger last week.
Quite amusing ( OK maybe not that amusing ) that of the 4 British and 4 foreign seeds from last week, it is the 4 foreign seeds that have gone onto Bath, whilst 3 of the Brits have gone off to Sarajevo and Cox is out injured this week.
