All being well, Dan Dowson should be in the main draw.

L32: Dan Dowson WR 839 (= CH) vs (4) Andrés Artunedo (ESP) WR 492 (CH = 293 in March 2014) hmm

That's a huge win - not was the Spaniard the 4th seed but the 1st set against Dan was the 21st set he'd won in a row (having won two Futures in the first two weeks of August, admittedly on hard rather than clay, then had a week off), so that's a 10-match / 21 set winning streak Dan ended!

Dan is going to need another one of those comebacks. He lost the 1st set 6-1. Currently all square in the 2nd at 2-2*
