Brydan Klein is the 7th seed in qualifying and has a bye in the opening round and will play either Hobart or Ratiwatana in rnd 2 with the Italian top seed the likely opponent in the final qualifier.
That top qualifying seed is Travaglia, a 23 yo Italian, whose favourite surface is down as clay. Given also less than a 20 place spread for the current rankings of the top 4 seeds, on the face of it not sure that Brydan's draw is too bad relatively.
Not saying that it won't still be a fair challenge to qualify with that being the extent of my investigation.
