Well it does really in that MD R1 losers get £440 ( and hopefully he's not a R1 loser and earns more than that ).

Well done to him !

This one always catches people out - me too in the past.

Qualifying sheet shows no prize money, but Ed is now guaranteed "dosh" as a 1st round MD loser wins 440 euros.

I stand corrected by the Honourable Gentlemen who responded to my points/dosh post.  wink

Bossel took the 1st set against Luke 7-5. Not much to choose between them but Luke finding it hard to get into the Bossel serve. He only managed to win 5 points against the serve in that 1st set.

Yes, poor on return, got to step that up, even more so now that he's a break down in the second set

1-2*

Seems Luke has stepped it up on return. Has just lost a 16 point game on return and has fashioned 3 BPs in total so far, but no breaks.

*2-4

Luke loses in straight sets, miserable start to British qualifying with one winner from over 30 Brits in qualifying over the sexes. And Ed had only one pesky to take care of. Lookin at the main draws for men and women of we have any more than 4 in total across the draws in Round 2 that would be above average.

That's a lot of Brits and a lot of Brits who had extremely little likelihood of ever getting close to qualifying this week ( though good luck to them all in the future ) 

We had noone seeded to qualify from men and women combined and just two seeded to reach FQRs ( EWS and Josh Milton, neither bringing any real form in ).

Yes, I had hopes for some players to step up and would have liked to see 2 or 3 qualifiers in total and that would probably have been my prediction. A little disappointing but I wouldn't myself say miserable ( against realistic expectations ) or greatly unexpected to end with just Ed.

On to the main draws ...

Is that partly because those good enough to qualify, already have WCs through to the MD.

I think that's a great result - both guys need the points and are way off being sure of them against two other main draw players - a Brit Q versus a Brit WC is a perfect 'helping hand' from the draw.

NB - Big congrats to Ed - super win today
