I'm guessing bits of this will already have been posted by the time I finally press Submit, but here's all (or most!) of the info in one:
MEN'S SINGLES QUALIFYING
QR1: (wc) David Rice WR 465 v Sebastian Rieschick (GER) UNR (CH 199 in 2011) - 3rd on C13
I think this will be Rieschick's first match for 15 months (I skimmed this week's ATP & Challenger Q draws and didn't see him), so probalby a lucky draw for Dave, not that he doesn't deserve it! Seeds in the order he would potentially have to beat them to qualify are (q24) Cipolla and (q2) Sock.
QR1: (wc) Lewis Burton WR 674 v Dustin Brown (GER) WR 187 (CH 89 in 2011) - 2nd on C13
Dustin lost to Dan Cox in Nottingham this week, so you never know! The closest seed is (q5) Vesely.
QR1: (wc) Alex Bogdanovic WR 274 v Marek Semjan (SVK) WR 280 (CH 218 in 2010) - 2nd on C14
In the same section as Lewis. The closest seed to Boggo is (q18) Sugita.
QR1: (wc) Jamie Baker WR 304 v (q17) Matteo Viola (ITA) WR 138 (CH 118 in Mar) - 1st on C13
Viola has lost 8 of his last 9 matches, is certainly not a grass court specialist and, more to the point, Jamie has a 2-0 record against him including a win in QR2 at this year's Australian Open. (q7) Struff is the other seed in this section.
QR1: (wc) Ed Corrie WR 336 v (q9) Illya Marchenko (UKR) WR 120 (CH 67 in 2010) - 3rd on C13
The other seed in this section is (q29) Wang.
QR1: (wc) Josh Goodall WR 303 v Samuel Groth (AUS) WR 230 (CH 189 in Mar) - 2nd on C15
H2H is 0-3 including Queen's qualifying last weekend, but Josh did take his first set off Groth there so maybe he is getting closer ...
QR1: (wc) Dan Evans WR 254 v (q25) Daniel Munoz-De La Nava (ESP) WR 147 (CH 123 in Apr) - 2nd on C15
Dan is in the same section as Josh, where the other seed (the closest one to Josh in the draw is (q11) Przysiezny.
QR1: (wc) Joshua Ward-Hibbert WR 774 v Alex Kuznetsov (USA) WR 173 - 3rd on C14
The seeds in this section are (q26) Andreozzi & (q14) Bachinger.
It's going to be tough for GB to get its first qualifier since 2008 but there are chances, I would say - I've certainly seen worse Wimbledon qualifying draws from a GB point of view!
MEN'S DOUBLES QUALIFYING
DQR1: Ed Corrie & Neal Skupski v (q1) Dustin Brown (GER) & Rameez Junaid (AUS) - 5th on C16
The other seeds in this section are (q8) Levine & Pospisil. DQR1: Lewis Burton & Dan Evans v (q7) Steven Johnson (USA) & Andreas Siljestrom (SWE) - 5th on C14
The other seeds in this section are (q2) Groth & Guccione.
DQR1: (q6) Brydan Klein & Dane Propoggia (AUS) v Andreas Haider-Maurer (AUT) & Jiri Vesely (CZE) - 5th on C13
The other seeds in this section are (q4) Raja & Sharan.

I have heard a rumour that this could be Josh's last event before retirement. Not sure if that will prove to be the case or not but it wouldn't completely surprise me.
