Contrasting draws in this the highest grade tournament of the week with British interest (no Brits in the US G1 main draws), with Jack Molloy and Damian Rodriguez taking on the top seeds, whilst Max Stewart and Finn Bass land wildcards. Barnaby Smith is also in qualifying having reached tomorrow's final round
A big win for Damian over a top 100 ranked home player, while Barnaby got a lucky break, having lost out narrowly in qualifying - thus ensuring a Brit in the quarters
