Finnish G4s have proved a happy hunting ground for Brits of late. Amelia Bissett did the double last week, while Anton Matusevich won this tournament last year. There is a strong British field, including Millie B and Harry Wendelken, looking for further success. Six of the seven have drawn home players.

I read Mervatron's comment as a hope rather than expectation.
A good day so far, with 5 wins out of 6 including one for Finn Murgett, who I managed to miss, against the fourth seed

Make that 7/8. If the second seed gets through to play Millie in the quarters ActiveBoard's censorship will be put to the test
