Both Brits have drawn unranked qualifiers in R1 but are likely to face the top 2 seeds in R1 (yes, Safwat for Liam again!) if they get through.
L32: Liam Broady WR 931 v (Q) Ferdinando Bonuccelli (ITA) UNRL32: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 869 v (Q) Adrian Andrzejczuk (POL) UNR

A helluva sight closer than last week, though, when they lost by 2 & 2. In fact, close enough to be a bit of a disappointment!
And Steven's prediction at the start of the thread comes to pass:
L16: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 869 vs (2) André Miele (BRA) WR 428
L16: (1) Mohamed Safwat (EGY) WR 326 vs Liam Broady WR 931
