L32: Jamie Baker WR 982 v Young-Jun Kim (KOR) WR 602 Not again! Jamie moves Korea only to draw the player who beat him in Malaysia a couple of weeks ago 3-6 7-6(7) 6-0. Looking on the bright side, it seems clear that he should have won that match (no idea what happened in the 3rd set), so hopefully he can put...

L32: James Ward WR 209 v (6) Sebastian Decoud (ARG) WR 158 After making the trip out to Colombia, Wardy could have done with avoiding a seed in R1, though Decoud is not the worst one he could have got. The Argentine seems to be even worse on grass than James, having lost to Cuevas in Wimbledon QR1, but this t...

Would have expected them both to show in Manchester to be honest and Delgado to carry on his partnership with Marray, while Murray to perhaps try something with a different partner,...
