That's a shame for Simon Childs after his great run last week, hopefully Chris Hartfield can qualify again. James Southwood has qualified several times for GB futures in the past aswell.
Altitude is also a big problem for the Brits, especially as they probably haven't played at altitude before. Colin Fleming found it a real problem when he played in Mexico last autumn. It makes the playing conditions so different - the balls really fly through the air a lot more and bounce a lot higher. Breathing is also tricky as there's less oxygen in the air so it really favours the South Americans who are used to this.
so close
