Dave: "I snuck into main draw singles for next week in Knoxville."

Quite a surprise, and that must mean Ed got in too

Another dodgy qualifying draw, with the two unseeded Brits due to meet the top seed in QR1 and QR2 respectively, though George pulling off the upset might virtually guarantee a Brit in the FQR.

QR1: George Coupland WR 827 v (q1) Sanam Singh (IND) WR 366 (CH 293 in 2012)
QR1: Josh Milton WR 605 v (wc) Jordan Tucker Daigle (USA) UNR (top 100 junior early last year)
QR1: (q3) Dan Smethurst WR 486 v Romain Bogaerts (BEL) WR 1174 (CH 1092 in Aug)

I'm not too sure if it's a good thing.

Anyway, if they get tough draws, we'll have the opportunity to make "School of hard Knox" references, so it's win-win.

I'd say on balance it has to be a good thing getting into the main draw.

Well, now I agree with you two. Unlike Charlotesville (a 75K), where qualifying was worth 5 points, here you get just 3 points, and I don't think that makes much of a difference inside the top 350.

George and Josh underway and both breaks down in their matches.

Cannot see any of the Brits in US getting through qualifying this week.

Josh bags the second set by 6-1 to redress the balance & take the match into a decider.  Three aces in the seventh game! wink

He may be making surprisingly heavy weather of this against a player who has never beaten a ranked player in seniors before, as far as I can tell, but Josh has just broken in the 7th game of the final set 4-6 6-1 *4-3
