QR1: Curtis Clarke UNR (CH = 1518 in September last year) vs (qWC) Denton Ho (HKG) UNR
Jay will again be in the main draw. Not sure whether he'll be seeded: his current WR of 537 puts him third behind two Japanese, but he's shown as 11th on the acceptance list...
Seeding for tournaments this week will be based on last Monday's rankings, i.e. for Jay his current WR 537 so if he's third now he will easily be seeded even if there is a highly ranked WC or two.
The acceptance list order purely decides who gets into the main draw ( and qualifying draw where applicable ).
