Rather too many of the Brits you'd expect to have a good chance of winning at least one round drawn against each other, perhaps = and some, er, interesting H2Hs.

Very good win for Meehan! Interesting tweet from Goodall's coaching page saying that they want to be at the stage where he is winning these events rather than just making 2nd rounds. Also mentions "best serve in the country" which is quite an interesting topic and could well be true... and in that case, scheduling will be very important in trying to keep him indoors as much as possible
Clear that Josh has a lot of belief Harry can progress pretty far in the game, would like to hear some ranking targets for 2014, I think top 500 by the end of the year is very possible with the very significant effect Josh has had so far
