H2Hs

Dan v Glancy: 1-0 - Dan won 4 & 4 at Wirral Futures this year
Neil v Rosenzweig: 2-1 - Neil won in 3 sets and 1 & 2 in 2012, both in Scotland, while Rosenzweig won 4 & 5 in Loughborough last year

Well played Scott - when he gets himself fully fit and a full season behind him, he has the potential to climb the rankings quite quickly 600-800 must be the target for next year.

Should be a GB finalist in the top half. Milts must be rubbing his hands at his draw.

Authom and Ehrat make the bottom half tough. Poor old Toby, who struggles to put back to back matches behind him, faces the favourite for the tournament.
