Sam Bossem, who walked the G4 event last week, is playing in a Grade 5 one this week. Which is slightly weird but may be linked to holiday plans, or to boost his ranking if he won (he's got a couple of quite low counters) or just for match experience.
Well done to Monty, too, for putting out the 3rd seed.
Sam Bossem ended up withdrawing from the event - it's true that last week was hardly too exerting but little niggles can crop up and there's certainly no real point risking anything for a G5.
