Really good result from Josh to beat Rhyne - a FQR place and bonus cheque :)

Err, interesting draw. Getting these seeds first off isn't great, of course, but meeting them first round of first tournament on grass of the year presumably for them might create opportunities.

Firstly I'm slightly disappointed that some of the GB players suited to grass courts are not here, George C, JWH, Harry etc

A few decent results, but challenger quails are difficult and the points situation puts people off, although the bonus fund may counteract some of that.

Good wins for Ed, Marcus and Josh. Ed will struggle against Kokkinakis, who has a big serve and a good game.

In the main draw, tough matches, but hopefully that Kyle will win. I would prefer Dan C to beat Evo. Wardy is capable of winning if the right Wardy turns up.
