It will be interesting to see how Jack goes this being his first tournament since a very successful Shrewsbury. Just been reading the Shrewsbury programme compliments of "Budgens Motors" a glossy affair, obviously they have made a real effort to provide some information for spectators puts Wimbledon quali's to shame!

It's Thursday and they still haven't finished qualifying.

Another of the major problems that have is the lack of courts. This is something I highlighted at Faro when I was there a couple of years and the same problem exists in Loule. They are trying to run 128 player qualifiers on just 4 courts (Loule) or 6 courts (Faro) and so many of the qualifying matches are played at Vale de Lobo, which is a good 20-30 minute drive away. This will surely restrict flexibility when trying to rearrange schedules during the day if there is interference from the weather.
