Not sure what went wrong with Ashley - a few lower-ranked Brits than him have beaten Gille this year. Maybe the Belgian dealt with the heat better. Anyway, 4 out of 6 Brits made it through to R2:
L32: (1) Dan Cox WR 233 beat (Q) Maxime Tchoutakian (FRA) WR 794 (CH 777 in Feb) by 3 & 4
L32: Luke Bambridge WR 613 beat Kevin Griekspoor (NED) WR 705 (CH 663 in Oct) by 3 & 5
L32: (6) Liam Broady WR 471 beat (Q) Matija Pecotic (CRO) WR 1018 (= CH) by 3 & 2
L32: (5) Ashley Hewitt WR 409 lost to (Q) Sander Gille (BEL) WR 978 (CH 965 in Feb) by 4 & 3
L32: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 698 beat (WC) Ali Al-Saygh (QAT) UNR by 0 & 0
L32: James Marsalek WR 615 lost to (3) Chen Ti (TPE) WR 285 (CH 200 in May) by 7-6(5) 6-0
L16: (1) Dan Cox WR 233 v Luke Bambridge WR 613
L16: (6) Liam Broady WR 471 v Pete Heller (GER) WR 667 (CH 430 last May)
L16: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 698 v (3) Chen Ti (TPE) WR 285 (CH 200 last May)
Dan v Luke H2H 2-0 - 2 & 0 in 2012 but 2 much closer sets, 5 & 5, in September last year
The winners of the first two R2 matches above will meet in the QFs.
