Great first round draw for Josh. Almost all of Andreozzi's success has come on clay so Josh should be favourite for that match. After that things get tougher with (q10) Frederico Gil likely being his second round opponent but again Gil favours the devil dirt. (q29) Sergei Bubka is the other seed in that section.
Not ideal for James but not the the worst draw either. (q15) Daniel Brands is the other seed in his section.

Wardy has lost to Tursunov in R2 of the Nottingham Challenger in 2011 and 2012. Josh could hardly have dreamt of a better draw, let's hope he can take advantage.

Doesn't say much for the standard of tennis at Futures level if Josh is getting destroyed on hardcourt against a claycourter. Didn't even create a single bp against an opponent serving 53%.
