L32: (Q) Scott Clayton WR 1348 v Peter Goldsteiner (AUT) WR 853 (CH 745 in Aug) L32: (5) Liam Broady WR 510 v Adam Chadaj (POL) WR 1128 (CH 202 in 2005) L32: (Q) Evan Hoyt WR 1424 v (Q) Leon Schutt (GER) WR 1624 (CH 1439 in Nov) L32: Luke Bambridge WR 785 v (2) Louk Sorensen (IRL) WR 405 (CH 213 in 2010)
Tricky draws for the two highest-ranked Brits here as Luke continues to attract top 2 seeds like a magnet (after a few weeks' gap when he didn't ...)
Edit: main draw updated with new rankings

it was good that Luke managed to pick up a few points last time because he most certainly doesn't get the best luck in draws. His best hope (and I don't hope it) is that Louk's injury flares up.
Scott has a reasonable draw - Goldsteiner is higher ranked and should, on paper, win but he has lost in the first round of 8 of his last dozen tournaments and Scott seems to be on good form so why not . . .
It'll be a good match up for Liam - Chadaj has barely won a match these past nine months (lost easily to Marzi in his last one) - I think Liam will win without too much trouble.
Hope Evan can hold it together - he's had some up an down results but I like his game.
