I'd been wondering what their plans were !!! I reckon that they'll also go for the 3 futures in Tunisia at the end of November, start of December. There'll be lots of easy points of offer and all three could do with some. Chris has been the only one who's won rounds consistently down under this autumn.

I don't reckon that any of them will qualify but hopefully at least one of them can get a couple of wins and maybe a confidence boosting shock win over one of the seeds.

Chris has a good chance of reaching the 2nd qualifying round here. Andrew Roberts is ranked quite a bit lower at 949. He's on a 3 match losing streak. His best results this year have been reaching the quarters of Australia F6 and Australia F8 in August. He played Myles Blake in Australia F6 and won in 3 sets.

Andy has played Sadik Kadir before. He lost 6-3, 6-4 in August. Kadir's best results have been reaching the Australia F6 final, the quarters of the Burnie challenger and making 4 futures quarter-finals. However, Kadir's form has been a bit patchy recently. He's ranked 522

Rd1 qualifying:

A Roberts [Aus] bt C Eaton [GB] 6-3, 6-4

S Kadir [Aus][3] bt A Kennaugh [GB] 6-3, 6-2

M Blake [GB] bt M Walker [Aus] 6-3, 6-o


Really disappointing result for Chris

QR2: Myles Blake WR 835 lost to (q7) Marc Kimmich (AUS) WR 655 by 0 & 3
