Oli is down to play here (and should be seeded if he does), as is Liam.

QR1: (q1) Luke Bambridge WR 785 v Ziga Papez (SLO) UNR
QR1: (q13) Scott Clayton WR 1348 v Quentin Robert (REU) WR 1644 (CH 1499 in Jul)
QR1: (q15) Evan Hoyt WR 1424 v Niels Lootsma (NED) WR 2070 (CH 1595 in Jun) - H2H 1-0, 3 & 4, last week's FQR
QR1: (q5) Toby Martin WR 886 v Piotr Grynkowski (POL) WR 2007 (CH 1983 in Sep)

The winners of Luke's match & Scott's match will meet in the FQR, unfortunately.

Wow that's a tough qualifying draw, comparative to recent draws anyway.

Looks like Scott had a big battle to make it through the second set and Niels got his revenge on Evan:

QR1: (q1) Luke Bambridge WR 785 def. Ziga Papez (SLO) UNR 6-1 6-2
QR1: (q13) Scott Clayton WR 1348 def. Quentin Robert (REU) WR 1644 (CH 1499 in Jul) 1-6 7-6(5) 6-0
QR1: (q15) Evan Hoyt WR 1424 lost to Niels Lootsma (NED) WR 2070 (CH 1595 in Jun) - H2H 1-0, 3 & 4, last week's FQR 6-2 4-6 6-2
QR1: (q5) Toby Martin WR 886 def. Piotr Grynkowski (POL) WR 2007 (CH 1983 in Sep) 6-0 7-6(4)

and the winners of Luke's match & Scott's match do indeed meet in the FQR, unfortunately.


QR2: (q1) Luke Bambridge WR 785 v (q13) Scott Clayton WR 1348
QR2: (q5) Toby Martin WR 886 v (q12) Skander MANSOURI (TUN) WR 1328

QR2 = FQR so one guaranteed qualifier

First time I've ever seen a player from Réunion ...

Rotten luck for the two Brits to meet in the FQR.

 I think it's an error really - Réunion is still part of France (one of the French overseas départements) and so the other Réunion players just come up as listed for France - which, in fact, Quentin Robert does in the ATP site, but not on the ITF site.

Georgia Craven came up as 'English' on the ITF draw lists earlier this year, with a St. George cross flag, which I thought was quite sweet.

Did wonder ...

My favourite memory of a brief sojourn in a DOM was that it was cheaper to call back to the UK (thousands of miles) than to call a country about fifty miles away ... because, of course, I was in France ....

Both FQR matches involving Brits saw the lower-ranked player come from a set down to upset the higher-ranked player, with identical scorelines!

FQR: (q13) Scott Clayton WR 1348 beat (q1) Luke Bambridge WR 785 by 3-6 6-3 6-4
FQR: (q5) Toby Martin WR 886 lost to (q12) Skander Mancouri (TUN) WR 1328 by 3-6 6-3 6-4

Switching to 9 Dec rankings for the main draw:

L32: (Q) Scott Clayton WR 1269 v (WC) Mousa Shanan Zayed (QAT) UNR (CH 1668 in 2012)
L32: Liam Broady WR 511 v Matthieu Roy (FRA) WR 748 (CH 728 in Aug)
L32: (6) Oli Golding WR 418 v (Q) Constantin Belot (FRA) WR 929 (CH 633 in 2012)

A nice reward for Scott but Oli and Liam could meet in R2

Bah, I really don't like that potential Oli vs Liam meeting in R2. They are both in good form ( well, Oli was before his slight break and I hope nothing too much wrong ) and I could have seen them both doing well this week. While a potentially interesting meeting, just wish it wasn't in R2 with one departing with one point.

Bit of a disappointment that qualifying result for Liam, would have wanted much more, but clearly good for Scott.

Could be a potential banana skin for Oli, having had a week off then coming up against someone who's match sharp through qualifying. Would be intriguing to see him take on Liam in R2 though.

Agreed - disappointing result for Luke.

SC, your first result need a smiley face too smile - Oli Golding won.

And in R2, Oli and Becker play the winner of Evan and Skander v the dutch pair

I bet Evan's sick of the sight of Lootsma, even though he got his revenge in the doubles!
