A very weak and half empty qualifying draw and a much weaker main draw entry than last week.
Wildcards seem to have gone to Paris(may be in direct or still suffering from appendicitis), Strachan, Carter and another - possibly Smethurst, Goodall. Jathan Malik
The guy who thrashed Harry M is one of our college lads who's doing well.
Simon won a couple of Q rounds last year at the one tournament he entered and then lost to Alex Sendegeya - now where's HE been these last 6 months???? (I think he's joined Texas Tech, in fact, but am hoping he might play some ITFs this summer - after all, he reached Junior WR 74, we don't get many boys in the top 100 - would be nice to see him progress)

Alex S went to uni in January rather than in the autumn. This may not be the case for Alex, but it's very common for January starters to do Summer School to get their academics in the right place for the following year.

Then he plays in Portugal next week strange schedule. No Dan Smethurst who will playing Ireland next week though wonder why he is not playing? And the mystery of Tom F continues
Julian Cash Toby Mitchell George Davies Adam TB Ryan Peniston Simon Pritchard Ulises Blanch (USA)
Only Jamie Whiteford and Jake Mullins to finish
NB George Davies is due to be playing at Nottingham in the Tour event tomorrow morning, against a Lucky Loser...... guess that Lucky Loser has just got even luckier . . .
