I think we all know that we may have just the one Brit in round two but I suspect most of us are a little more optimistic. There are a couple of favourable draws for the Broady's, I actually think James Ward may top his Davis Cup performance and that Laura Robson has blown enough cobwebs out of her system to take advantage of a dream 1st round draw. So.......ever the glass half full type of chap, my picks to make round 2 are as follows. Yours???
Although if one doesn't try and predict WHO will win, probability gives a much better chance of at least one Brit apart from Murray winning.
Probability of losing estimated as follows: L Broady 90%, Ward 70%, Edmund 90%, Bedene 70%, Watson 60%, N Broady 80%, Robson 90%, Konta 95%. Probability for all 8 to lose is therefore only 16%.

The Broady's are a bit of a cop out, lots of hedged bets I feel!
Too conflicted and superstitious to even have a go for fear of cursing anyone. A very painful thread.
