James gets a nice draw against a French Open story maker
(3) Ilya Ivashka (BLR) v (WC) Dan Evans (5) Jurgen Zopp (EST) v (WC) George Loffhagen Sergio Gutierrez-Ferrol (ESP) v (WC) Lloyd Glasspool (WC) Aidan McHugh v (WC) Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP) Mohamed Safwat (EGY) v (WC) Jack Draper Zdenek Kolar (CZE) v (WC) Anton Matusevich (WC) Alex Ward v Darian King (BAR) (WC) James Ward v Marco Trungelliti (ARG)
I think Lloyd has a chance the Spaniard is ranked 238 or so. James and Alex have a good chance too.
Few of the opponents have much of a track record on grass - apart from Ivashka, Zopp has qualified once, Davidovich Fokina is the reigning junior champion and King reached the quarters this week at Ilkley
Don't know which court they are streaming but 9 has a couple of marquee names (Mahut/Dustin Brown) and no Brits. Dan is second on 11 following Tomic, so is another contender. most of the other Brits are on 14/16

I could see[and particularly hear]Kings match at Ilkley last Wednesday from one end high up on the Centre Court where I was watching Jordan Thompson's match. King won but there seemed to be quite a lot of disputed calls mainly by him[no idea whether they were valid complaints or not]judging from the constant verbal retorts from his direction
QR1: (q3) Ilya Ivashka WR 105 (= CH) vs (qWC) Dan Evans WR 340 (CH = 41 in March last year)
QR1: (q5) Jürgen Zopp (EST) WR 107 (CH = 71 in September 2012) vs (qWC) George Loffhagen WR 893 (CH = 875 last month)
QR1: Sergio Gutierrez (ESP) WR 238 (CH = 173 in October 2012) vs (qWC) Lloyd Glasspool WR 587 (CH = 282 in July 2016)
QR1: (qWC) Aidan McHugh WR 957 (CH = 952 last month) vs (qWC) Alejandro Davidovich (ESP) WR 346 (= CH)
QR1: Mohamed Safwat (EGY) WR 166 (= CH) vs (qWC) Jack Draper UNR
QR1: Zdenek Kolar (CZE) WR 235 (CH = 218 last November) vs (qWC) Anton Matusevich WR 1434 (CH = 1416 in March)
QR1: (qWC) Alex Ward WR 309 (CH = 242 in June 2016) vs Darian King (BAR) WR 169 (CH = 106 in May last year)
QR1: (qWC) James Ward WR 362 (CH = 89 in July 2015) vs Marco Trungelliti (ARG) WR 198 (CH= 126 in July 2016)
Can someone explain to me precisely what the Spaniard did to warrant a qWC?
Won the boys singles last year...
Fancy James W, Lloyd Glasspool to win. Dan is a tough one, he should hope to win but it could be a touch and go match...but if he gets through that. Polmans can play on grass also but Dan should win that. Donald Young at the FQR stage though.
Going to back Dan but dont think we will see anyone else get through, and qualify I am afraid.
