Luke is a defending doubles title winner, having partnered Darren Walsh to the title here in the same week last year.
See no matches from Darren since Wimbledon doubles qualifying last year. He seemed to go under the radar as a player and also now in not playing. I wonder what he's up to.

I've been wondering about Darren for a while. He's only 28 & still had a doubles ranking, albeit 866 ( ), but he doesn't seem to have played since he & Liam B were beaten by the Ratis in the first round of Wimbledon last year. Anyone know if he's hung up his racket or taken up coaching or simply "got a life"?
