Weeks 2-3 - Australian Open men's qualifying 2013 & JB in main draw

Both Brits have drawn unseeded clay court specialists, which is about as good as we could have hoped for as far as QR1 is concerned.

QR1: Jamie Baker WR 246 v Julio César Campozano (ECU) WR 222 (= CH)

(q19) Matteo Viola ITA & former top 5 player (q9) James Blake (USA) are the seeded players in this section.

QR1: James Ward WR 247 v Boris Pashanski (SRB) WR 172 (CH 55 in 2006, best known here as Chris Eaton's Wimbledon R1 victim in 2008)

(q14) Yuichi Sugita (JPN) & (q18) Denis Kudla (USA) are the seeded players in this section.

Jamie is 3rd on Court 14 after 23.00 GMT (so probably about 02.00 GMT) and James 5th on Court 15, probably after 05.00 GMT.
