Ali Habib was the only British winner in the first round of qualifying. The top 10 ranked Brits outside the DAs were not involved (plus Connor Thomson in the doubles final). Jack PJ will have a Special Exempt (along with an American) and there should be 8 wildcards, but it looks as if 2 must have withdrawn.

Ali missed out in final qualifying and I made a mistake about Jack, as he was only an alternate, and therefore not eligible for an SE. He hasn't received one of the 8 wildcards, so misses out along with Lui Maxted (who may be injured, as he and Derrick Chen pulled out of the Nottingham doubles, and Derrick was in qualifying here) and Joseph White

We had a guy make a J1 final this week and he doesn't even get a wildcard? Seems bizarre to me

Totally.

Unless he wants a week off before Wimbledon and not over play?

 That was my thought too - certainly hope it was a decision taken after discussion with Jack

Excellent win in three for Felix. Always liked him - one of the few gb juniors who has a properly dynamic game

Truly not a match for the faint hearted, his poor dad must have stomach ulcers, but Blu won in three

Bravo to Felix !!! Very tight scoreline, but he comes through in three sets - winning the third-set tie-breaker !

Excellent result.

Looks like Blu has won by walkover too

The livescores has Blu being the winner by walkover.

However, the drawsheet has Bu having conceded the walkover.

THe drawsheet is more likely to be correct, I'd have thought, and Blu certainly had a long match yesterday unlike his opponent.

Shame...
