Brit takeover this week, I wonder what the record is for Brit involvement in an overseas futures tournament ( exc Ireland ).
A quick check of the overseas Futures since the start of 2010 where Brits have picked up 30 points or more (only 9 tournaments, 7 excluding Ireland) gives the following:
6 Brits at Marathon 10K in week 21 last year ((7) Rice WIN, (5) Gabb RU, (1) Baker QF, (2) Goodall QF, Gill R1, (Q) Hutt R1)
5 Brits at Heraklion 10K in week 46 last year and at Danderyd 10K in week 38 in 2011
There may well be Futures that had more than 6 Brits who weren't as successful as the ones at these events, but the above suggests 6 is not unheard of, albeit still a rare event.
Thank you for taking the time to do the research Steven, always on the case.
L32: (6) Ashley Hewitt WR 471 lost to Daniel Nguyen (USA) WR 480 (CH 418 in 2013) by 2 & 1
L32: Luke Bambridge WR 515 lost to Frederik Nielsen (DEN) WR 652 (CH 190 in 2011) by 7-6(8) 7-6(5)
Scott still to play today, the other three tomorrow.

I'm not sure why Ash has travelled all the way to Canada for 2x15k on hard. His best surface is clay and he should be playing clay 15ks and challengers in Europe.

This trip will be a waste of time for him.
I agree and the H2H with Nguyen would certainly back up that suggestion!
