Liam should be in the main draw here, while Cameron makes a late attempt to avoid falling out of the top 25 table when his Q + L16 points from the West Lakes Challenger come off on Monday week (the real reason he's playing is because he's at college nearby!)
QR1: Cameron Norrie WR 673 v (q7) Thales Turini (BRA) WR 448 (CH 283 last Jul)

One down, well done Cam. He should definitely be getting to the FQR but I don't know much about the second seed and a potential opponent in Darian King.

The last time King played a British player, he got defaulted after throwing a racquet at a line judge (video here http://youtu.be/PZAeEiXozSQ).

Funny, I actually remember seeing that live but must have completely disassociated it with the guy. Cheers for the reminder!
Not the best draw..however I watched Liam beat Kudla fairly convincingly in Charlottesville a couple of months ago, so I know he has the game to do get past him. If he can find that level again I'm confident he'll come through.

I wouldn't read too much into that. Kudla missed a couple of months last Summer due to illness and struggled through the Autumn when he did come back. If he is back to full health he could be a different prospect.
That incident was weird. Yes he shouldn't have thrown the racket so close to the linesperson but that was a worse dive than your premier league footballer. All the momentum was gone by the time the racket hit her. The laws of physics just didn't justify that response from her
