3 unranked Brits through to the FQR of one of these massive qualifying draws doesn't happen too often! The only two who have gone out have lost by retirement as well.

L32: Liam Broady WR 1067 v (3) Alexandre Folie (BEL) WR 438 L32: Kyle Edmund WR 810 v (WC) Patrick Daciek (USA) WR 1230 L32: Matt Short WR 716 v (WC) Noah Rubin (USA) WR 1665 L32: Luke Bambridge WR 973 v (2) Peter Heller (GER) WR 450
Results of the FQR not in yet so there could be up to three more Brits in the full 1st round draw.
Tough draws but as we know you need to reach at least semis to garner anything like relevant points from these tournaments. So maybe play the best when they're most vunerable isn't a bad idea.
7 Brits in the MD of a US Futures tournament. Can't imagine that's happened too often before.
Have to give all 7 a sporting chance of winning too. 2 tough first rounds for Liam and Luke but that could work in their favour if they have good days and start fast - seeds often vulnerable in round 1. And after 4 wins already, even the qualifiers might use their match sharpness to surprise a few locals. Tomorrow should be interesting. Sweepstake anyone?
I blame those folk saying ah, seeds can be vulnerable in the first round, so the drawmasters said OK DOKEE, if you Brits aren't too bothered, have another 3 !
Quite a day for the teenagers in Florida - Luke took out the 2nd seed too! Unfortunately, Matt lost to someone even younger than Luke or Liam - Rubin is already world junior no. 12 aged just 16.
L32: (JE) Liam Broady WR 1067 beat (3) Alexandre Folie (BEL) WR 438 by 1-6 7-6(1) 6-1 L32: Matt Short WR 716 lost to (WC) Noah Rubin (USA) WR 1665 by 7-6(6) 6-3 L32: (SE) Luke Bambridge WR 973 beat (2) Peter Heller (GER) WR 450 by 6-3 4-6 6-1
L16: (JE) Liam Broady WR 1067 v (Q) Romain Bogaerts (BEL) WR 1876 or (Q) Oleg Dmitriev (RUS) UNR L16: (SE) Luke Bambridge WR 973 v Dennis Nevolo (USA) WR 744
