A large British contingent here with the main draw starting on Tuesday - Ali Collins, Gemma Heath, Anna Loughlan, Destinee Martins, Anton Matusevich and Ewen Lumsden should be in that. Qualifying started today, with wins for Jacob Fearnley, Jake Hersey, Oscar Weightman and Harry Wendelken. There were defeats though for David Quayle, Connor Thomson, George Davis and James Story. The successful quartet have 2 more rounds to negotiate tomorrow to make the main draw.
Just one successful qualifier - Jack and Jake got through to final qualifying and played each other with Jake coming through 6-2 6-2. Harry won one match but lost in final qualifying while Oscar lost in QR2. Main draws are not in draw order

Not sure about that ( although the ITF have their moments ).
I see that Rodrigues took the very good 17 yo Irish youngster, Simon Carr ( WR 991, JWR 46 ) to a final set TB in a Portuguese futures R2 match last week ( winning the second set 6-2 ) and beat a top 800 player in R1 of another Portuguese futures a couple of months ago.
Singles interest is now concentrated on the girls event after Jake's loss. Three all British pairs made either the boys or girls doubles semis but it is an anglo-Bulgarian combo which contests the boys final (defeating Anton/Harry)
Boys R2
Giulio Zeppieri (ITA) d. (Q) Jake Hersey 6-2 6-2
Doubles F
Fearnley/Sheyngezikht (GBR/BUL) v Wassermann/Weststrate (NED)
Girls R2
(3) Ali Collins d. (Q) Nina Olyanovskaya (RUS) 6-4 6-4
QF
(5) Gemma Heath v Anastasia Tikhonova (RUS)
(3) Ali Collins v (7) Giulia Morlet(FRA)
Gemma marches on to the semis (her second at G2 level this year) but Ali's tournament ends. Gemma plays a local wildcard who won the G4 at the Sanchez Academy last week
QF
(7) Giulia Morlet(FRA) d. (3) Ali Collins 7-6(4) 6-2
(5) Gemma Heath d. Anastasia Tikhonova (RUS) 6-3 6-3
Good luck to Jake F in his doubles final - his first at a G2, I believe.
And, of course, to little fave, Gem, in her semi, having come through serenely without losing a set so far....That'll be extra points for her whatever....
