3 of the top 4 singles seeds in a home 25K and just one Brit into the singles SF.

You weren't one of these seeds, Aidan, indeed beat the #3 seed in R1, but please save the singles week which has gone downhill from so-so.

 But..same event last year we managed just 2 players in last 8 and 1 in the last 4 - admittedly we had none of the top 4 seeds

The following week, Glasgow, we got 4 in QF stage, 2 in the semis.

Not sure we had a third week at M25 level last season. 

So I guess what I am saying is that it feels par for the course...?

QF:  Kai Lemstra & Wojciech Marek (GER/POL) CR 1939 (600+1339) defeated Jonathan Binding & Jonathan Mridha (SWE) CR 1479 (871+608) by 3-6 6-3 [10-8] 

Round-up of the results in the singles matches involving Brits:

QF:  (6) Christopher Heyman (BEL) WR 390 defeated (1) Jack Draper WR 320 by 0-6 6-1 6-4 

QF:  Aidan McHugh WR 567 defeated (Q) Henry Patten UNR by 7-5 3-6 6-3

QF:  (7)  Patrik Niklas-Salminen (FIN) WR 466 defeated Mark Whitehouse WR 667 by 4 & 1

*****

SF:  (6) Christopher Heyman (BEL) WR 390 vs Aidan McHugh WR 567
