Any win would be an improvement on last week.  Alexis and possibly Danny appear to have reasonable draws to do that, but would probably play the top two seeds in round 2 if they win. 

R1 (L64)

(WC) Shinji Hazawa (JPN) v Alexis Canter (GBR)

(15) Yusuke Takahashi (JPN) v Jay Clarke (GBR)

Naoto Kai (JPN) v Daniel Bennett (GBR)

As expected it is the top 2 seeds they face - Lee Duck Hee's remarkable story has been well documented - eg in seeds.theborneopost.com/2014/03/25/lee-duck-hee-an-inspiration-on-the-court-and-in-life/

R2

(1) Duck Hee Lee (KOR) v Alexis Canter (GBR)
Daniel Bennett (GBR) v (2) Jumpei Yamasaki (JPN)

Duck Hee Lee is not only inspirational and ranked highly as a junior, but were he a Briton, BiS would be supporting him as one of the people who could make top 500 in the not-too-distant future. He's now ranked at a CH 555. Beating him would indeed be an accomplishment.

Not surprisingly neither boys progressed, although Daniel did take a set off his opponent
