Shame for Luke. But Marcus got kicked out in round one last week. Liam had a few early exits earlier on in the season. It happens. No harm done.
Absolutely true in the long run. But I wonder whether the question of eligibility for consideration for Wimbledon MD and Q WCs is making each match for those on the "borders" [250 - 350 and 450 - 600] take on additional significance at this point. Hope it doesn't distort feelings about individual wins or losses. As you say, everyone has bad days/matchups and good ones. And the overall direction of many of the players in question is really good.
Today has been a good day (and almost a great day) for the Brits in Edinburgh. Let's hope Liam can finish it off in style. He levels the match at 1 set all.
Ryan P and Rob C manage to get the win in the doubles. Which is nice, especially for Ryan because he must be a big gutted about so narrowly missing out on the match v Brydan.
Mind you, poor Bélot (the 'french dude',as Imran put it) won't be best pleased - he was tweeting nice happy, upbeat tweets about being in Edinburgh - all chuffed - and now has lost in the first round twice in one day !

Hi CD. Mr Picky here. Ryan lost to Sander Gille. It was Jonny who missed out to Brydan.

Toby seems to regularly win first round matches, but very rarely follows up(except in Israel) - now would be a nice time to do that, although I think Ashley is good on clay and will pick up decent points over the next three weeks.
Imran may give Neil P a scare and we will be cheering on Jathan against Mr.Angry.
