M Phillips [GB][1] v bye [Great to see Morgan back playing futures, he should be able to get through comfortably here, his main test will come in the final qualies round when he's likely to face the 9th seed who's ranked 816.]
J Ward [GB][16] v D Florez Cohen [Esp][unranked] [Unfortunately James is in the same section as the Austrian 2nd seed Max Raditschnigg who's ranked 637 and they're likely to meet in the final qualies round. Hopefully James can emulate Alan and Richard's achievements last week in beating players ranked in the 600s].

A Wright [GB] v A Mora [Esp][WC]
R Brooks [GB] v S Perez-Perez [Esp] [wr:999] [A nasty rd1 draw for Richard, Perez-Perez was the guy who beat James Ward in the quarters of Spain F29, he reached the semis there. However, Richard has beaten players ranked much higher in the past few days so hopefully he can cause another upset. If he wins he could face Alan Wright in rd2]
D Ross-Hurst [GB] v A Sanchez Thammakrong [Esp] [wr: 1555] [ Dominic plays at my club, he's one of the coaches there and the no 3 player. Hopefully he

Congrats to Morgan on qualifying
Rd1: M Phillips [GB] v L Rochette [Fr][LL] [wr: 804]
Rochette is a lucky loser having lost in the final qualies round to the 15th seed Pedro Clar-Rosello [wr:1240] 7-5, 7-5. They've played once before, just about 10 days ago in rd2 of Tarragona challenger qualifying and Rochette won 6-3, 6-7, 6-3. Hopefully Morgan can reverse things this time round
Glad to see Morgan back at Futures level. He is a real hard man to beat at this level and hopefully can really string some wins and performances together to get his confidence up before trying chalengers again.
