More wins in qualifying (since edited out below since CD had already posted them) but the main draw DAs have not been very lucky in the draw:
L32: George Morgan WR 960 v (6) André Gaspar Murta (POR) WR 571 (= CH after 2 SFs in Nigeria last month; QF here in F1) L32: Myles Orton WR 1143 v (5) Erik Crepaldi (ITA) WR 515 (= CH after SF in Edgbaston a couple of weeks ago)

FQR: (q9) David Porter WR 2147 lost to Andreas Aravis (CYP) UNR age 16 6-2 retired
Scott won his first set 7-5 but play was suspended and he has to finish it tomorrow, first thing, when Adam will also play his FQR, followed (I believe) by a second singles later in the day if victorious
FQR: (q1) Scott Clayton WR 1349 beat Dominik Sproch (SVK) UNR by 7-5 4-6 7-5 FQR: Adam Skalsky UNR lost to (q4) Daniel Skripnik (ISR) WR 1476 by 7-5 7-6(5)
Switching to new rankings for the main draw:
L32: (Q) Scott Clayton WR 1345 v (4) Sam Barry (IRL) WR 487 (= CH) - later today L32: George Morgan WR 960 v (6) André Gaspar Murta (POR) WR 571 (= CH after 2 SFs in Nigeria last month; QF here in F1) - on now L32: Myles Orton WR 1143 lost to (5) Erik Crepaldi (ITA) WR 489 (= CH) by 3 & 4
George leads 6-4 *2-3 - he has taken 3/3 break points so far, Gaspar Murta 1/10!

And George goes on to complete an excellent win over the 6th seed Gaspar by 6-4 6-4. Could well be his best win for quite some time.
Some interesting stats in this match, with the standout being BP conversions as Steven had previously mentioned. They finished as George 4/4 and Gaspar 1/13.
Also interesting was that there were no Aces or DFs from either player !!

Even more 'interesting' is that, as I realised as soon as I had made my first attempt at tweeting the result, it's not possible to end up with a 4 & 4 scoreline if a player wins by 4 breaks to 1! I think we can safely assume that George took all of his bps (3, I would guess) and saved an awful lot!

That's a very good score against the fourth seed, WR 487
Scott seems to be improving quite markedly at the moment - hasn't quite got the point or two from these futures that he might have wished for but some good results.
And great continuation of form by George. Good chance in the second round too.
Not a bad effort by Scott against the 4th seed - both sets close.
L32: (Q) Scott Clayton WR 1345 lost to (4) Sam Barry (IRL) WR 487 (= CH) by 4 & 5 L32: George Morgan WR 960 beat (6) André Gaspar Murta (POR) WR 571 (= CH) by 4 & 4 L32: Myles Orton WR 1143 lost to (5) Erik Crepaldi (ITA) WR 489 (= CH) by 3 & 4
L16: George Morgan WR 960 v (Q) Keivon Tabrizi (SUI) UNR
Tabrizi got his 2nd ranking point today (his first, from last week, will go on the rankings next Monday) but lost 0 & 2 to the player George beat today, Gaspar Murta, in R2 last week.
George: "got the win today against 6th seed 4 and 4 best I've played in a while. only downside is I've lost my phone!"
