It seems like only those five matches were completed. Maybe it rained.
I hoped David Rice would draw another qualifier but I would have prefered if it wasn't Peric (wr-867) still it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Ed Corrie has drawn Richard Wire so that is a guarenteed point for one of our young guns.

Yeah...totally agree that Andy has "Grass Pedigree"! Saw him win Stella juniors last year and know he had potential! What makes a difference is that he is a top bloke. Not arrogant at all! Maybe that will be his downfall...do you have to be a bit of a dick to get ahead in tennis...?!

No. I think you can be nice, but you have to have a mean streak on court. Take no prisoners! I have neva seen this Andy, heard of him, but can anyone tell me what he is like on court? Is he nice on the court too? BTW does anyone know if Andy has a bro who played/plays tennis...think I remember the surname.

Hi Feddiez - welcome to the board!
I've not heard of another Kennaugh in tennis, and there's not one on the ATP list (but then I'm not the most knowledgeable chap here). Or maybe you're talking about another Andy? Hmmm not sure I can think of any others in British tennis...
