Well done to Jonny for qualifying, but poor reward. An intriguing battle of two of the 92s who have been rivals for quite a while. Jack won when they played last year in Poland, but it is rare for Ashley to be ranked above him in either ATP or in the later stages of their junior careers, after Jack recovered from an injury in 2008 which kept him out for several months.
R1: (1) Luke Bambridge & Dan Smethurst WR 1273 vs BYE R1: Jack Carpenter & Ashley Hewitt WR 2004 vs Alexandre Folie & Alec Witmeur (BEL/BEL) WR 1983 R1: (3) Erik Crepaldi (ITA) & Neil Pauffley WR 1620 vs Richard Gabb & Jonny O'Mara UNR R1: Oliver Hudson & Sam Hutt UNR vs Alan Macdonald & Euan McIntosh UNR R1: Simon Ede & Dayne Kelly (AUS/AUS) UNR vs Jarryd Bant & Andrew Fitzpatrick UNR

Not to mention the fact that they are playing doubles together as well.

R1: BYE vs Matt Short & Marcus Willis WR 1579
Folie / Witmeur and MacDonald / McIntosh both "won" by walkover.
So 2 Byes and 4 walkovers in the first round. It seems to be happening a lot lately, guys sign in for the doubles and then withdraw after they lose in final qualifying or main draw first round of the singles. It isn't something that I approve of.

The one match without British involvement features fifth seed Jason Kubler and plays the winner of Pauffley v Coric. The bottom half of the draw could have 4 British quarter finalist or none at all.
