So only Jonny and Josh WH of the players mentioned get the WCs.

Ewan Moore gets one (the Scottish vote - we knew it would be there somewhere) and Patrick Rosenholm has a PR.

(Still one free space though)

 

A bit worried about Evan Hoyt.  Was expecting him to get a WC here but no sign of him at all.  Add that to the fact that he retired in his last match in the British Tour a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't sound good. 

He has had so much injury that I really hope it hasn't struck again, particularly after his breakthrough spell at the end of last year.

Only three WCs named so far though (JWH, Johnny O and Ewan M) so maybe that last spot is for Evan.  Fingers crossed.

My first thought when I saw the draw was that they must have given the last wild card to Evan, who then got injured at the last minute, leavign a space to be filled after lucky loser sign in tomorrow. Who knows if that's true, but it seems the most likely explanation to me. 

I wonder if they've changed the scheduling for this year's GB Futures too - in the past, 10Ks in the UK have seen all the men play a main draw round a day from Tuesday to Saturday, while the women play a main draw round a day from Wednesday to Sunday, yet this time on 12 of the 16 men's R1 matches are scheduled for tomorrow and the ITF factsheet says the both the men's and women's main draws are due to finish on Sunday.

On a lighter note, there can't be many Futures main draws where the first five slots in the draw are all filled by qualifiers!

 The same thought occurred to me. I also wonder if they are holding the slot as long as possible to see if Evan can still make it.

Liam's scoreline was horribly close (although the young Swede was junior WR 38 a year ago or so).

Will be interesting to see how he does. I wouldn't bet against Sapwell causing a surprise tomorrow, although it would be great to see Liam get his mojo back again.

Lloyd has a Frenchman that he beat easily a few months ago.

Scott's French opponent is very 'winnable' too.

JWH has a decent player to overcome, would be surprised if he managed it.

It is so frustrating when two players that you would like to see win meet in the first round (and that's for the fan ... much worse for them!) - and that's true several times here. Ah well - may the best player on the day win and all that.

The doubles draw is really strong: some interesting pairings there. Will be curious to see how it goes.

Just to note that, FOR ONCE, it seems that the livescore gizmo has broken down on courts 3 and 4 (where two pesky matches are playing) and NOT broken down on the Brit courts

Not quite, anyway wink  Luke's court seems to stick for a few minutes and then jump a couple of games at a time.

And as I type that, Luke's score jumps ahead to show he has broken again and will serve for the set at *6-5

Neil has a break and is also serving for the set against Dan S, but this one at *5-4

Jonny into a 2nd set breaker.

Neil took the 1st set 6-4 and is 4-4* in the 2nd in his all GB battle with Dan S.

Luke's score seems to have stuck again at *4-5 40-40 in the 2nd having taken the 1st 7-5
