Andy has confirmed that he will be playing in Barcelona alongside Kyle and Dan.  So that makes 3 Brits in the MD and a Bob in the crowd.  Just reserved my hotel and will be there for Mon/Tues,  #Buzzing

PS.  I think Jamie is playing doubles there as well.

Also v envious. Wife, kids and I had a week in Barcelona last week, what a lovely city. Tried to find tennis club but couldn't see it, so had to eat lots of tapas instead and drink too much Cava

Still plenty of tickets left. Only 14 euros per day for the 1st two days. Having to stay about 45 minutes outside the city though as the hotel prices in the city are ridiculous.

Will try and tweet plenty of photos.

Yes.  The club is difficult to find.  it is tucked away in the back streets and you could almost walk right by it without realizing.

L64:  (1/WC) Andy Murray vs BYE

Bernard Tomic or Dustin Brown in the next round.

Would you Adam & Eve it?

L64:  Kyle Edmund WR 45 (CH = 40 last October) vs Jérémy Chardy (FRA) WR 71 (CH = 25 in January 2013)

The only time they've met is in the DC in Rouen a couple of weeks ago, when Kyle lost one of the two dead rubbers by 4 & 4. 

L64:  Dan Evans WR 44 (CH = 41 last month) vs Qualifer

As draws go for a 1st round, that's not what you are looking for, in Kyle's case.

L16:  Fabrice Martin & Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA/FRA) CR 59 (40+19) vs (2) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 15 (7+8)

By no means a "gimme", methinks!  The top seeds are Peers & Kontinen, who themselves face a bit of a test in the first round in the shape of Rohan Bopanna & Pablo Cuevas (unseeded finalists in Monte-Carlo this week).

I think Monte Carlo might have done Kyle a world of good and I would fancy him to even the score with Chardy, I know Kyle will be pretty pumped up to get some revenge.

So Kyle, Dan and Jamie all play tomorrow. They had better not all lose or my ticket for Tuesday might be a waste of cash.

Dan's qualifier came through as the #1 qualifying seed and clay is very much his preferred surface.

L64: Dan Evans WR 43 (CH 41 last month) vs (Q) Thiago Monteiro (BRA) WR 80 (CH 74 in February)

Bob needs to be careful this is very rich compared to his usual tennis diet, caviar as opposed to the chips and gravy of the futures tour.

Come on Kyle!
