Surface: Indoor Carpet.

Main draw:
Josh Goodall is the top seed.


Alternates:
Ross Hutchins is fourth.
Neil Bamford is eighth.
Alex Slabinsky is sixteenth.
Rob Searle is twenty third.
Jim May is twenty eighth.
Others present are Ross Connolly and Robert Dee.

There are two SE spots which most probably won't be claimed (and even if one spot is claimed, Lojda will surely get a WC and it would make no difference), so Hutchins has a good chance of getting in.

Qualies sign in is today at 1800 local time.

When does R1 start? I'm sure Josh will be cream-crackered after F4, but if he's got enough rest he can turn this into a December to remember.

Round one will be played on Wednesday, so Josh will get plenty of rest.

Hutchins the only Brit there. He is the third seed.

Slabba skipped this one too.

Weird again!


Hutch should qualify easily but his singles has been very patchy!


As the draw is only two rounds and no one in his section is ranked within 250 spaces of him I'd hope he could get there!

What's happened to slabba, anyone know, thought this was his big chance to turn his season round, he's not injured is he?

Unfortunately Hutch withdrew after the draw, no idea why.


His place went to fellow Brit Richard Stera, but his place in the draw went to the no. 17 seed, Syrewicz, who beat the player Ross would have faced in straight sets.


Stera slotted into Syrewicz's place and got stuffed in QR1:


QR1: (Alt) Richard Stera UNR lost to (q9) Christian Magg (AUT) WR 908 by 1 & 2


All in all, a rubbish day in Opava!

"Unfortunately Hutch withdrew after the draw, no idea why."


According to the draw sheet he has 'MD' alongside his name (at the bottom of the page), so presumably he is now in the main draw??


As he was seeded 3, I'm not sure why he should be promoted to the main draw over the 1st and 2nd seeds.

Seedings are based on the rankings as of the Monday before the tournament, where as lists are made two weeks before the tournament.

The first and second seeds were behind Ross in the rankings when the list was made, so Ross was first in line as a replacement for someone in the main draw.


Welcome to the site.

I'm sure that you'll love it here and contribute towards British tennis.

Doh! How did I manage to miss that Thanks for putting it right, Mike.


I think Greenleaf has already explained why he got in above the nos 1 and 2 seeds in qualifying.


Maybe not such a bad day then!

I can see why they would want to use the most recent data available to decide the seedings, but why then use a different date for the entry list? For consistency it would seem (to me) to make more sense to use the same date for both. I would imagine that the 1st & 2nd seeds are fairly unimpressed by the situation! In this case a Brit has been advantaged by it, but the principal seems odd.


Oh, and thanks for the welcome! I've been reading the site for a while, but have only just registered. Unfortunately I'm not able to post much due to work pressures!

It wouldn't be fair to players to use the previous Monday rankings for entries into events because they would not be able to arrange their travels in time then.

For example, if a player enters two Futures during for a certain week......
He may buy flight tickets to a certain Futures and then realise that he isn't in the main draw of that one but has made the mains of another one instead.
But by then it is too late to change and he will have to qualify where as he could play directly in the main draw somewhere else.


That explanation could be a bit confusing.

( From Steveg, and I'm dubious about the fact they've put d. instead of vs. after Josh's name.)


(1)Joshua Goodall (GBR) d. (q)Theodor Devoty (CZE)
(q)Daniel Lustig (CZE) vs Enrico Burzi (ITA)
(q)Jan Kroslak (SVK) vs (q)Martin Slanar (AUT)
Jakub Hasek (CZE) vs (6)Jaroslav Pospisil (CZE)


(4)Sergei Bubka, Jr. (UKR) vs (WC)Michal Konecny (CZE)
Igor Zelenay (SVK) vs Ross Hutchins (GBR)
(q)Jan Marek (CZE) vs (q)Jedrzej Zarski (POL)
(LL)Filip Polasek (SVK) vs (8)Jan Minar (CZE) [Polasek replaces Ladislav Chramosta]


(5)Alexandre Renard (FRA) vs (q)Christian Magg (AUT)
David Novak (CZE) vs Lado Chikhladze (GEO)
Martin Vacek (CZE) vs (WC)Jiri Kosler (CZE)
(WC)Miloslav Mecir, Jr. (SVK) vs (3)Konstantin Kravchuk (RUS)


(7)Marko Tkalec (SLO) vs (WC)Jiri Krkoska (CZE)

Roman Kutac (CZE) vs (q)Mathias Feitsch (AUT)
(LL)Jan Stancik (SVK) vs (2)Lukas Rosol (CZE) [Stancik replaces Ivan Cerovic]


 Josh is playing/has played(?) a qualifier, Devoty.


Ross is in Bubka's quarter, and plays Zelenay in round 1
