Another huge 128 qualifying draw in Spain with 5 wins needed for a rankings point if you start out in QR1. The Wardinator was 6th Alt here, but one advantage of qualifying starting on Friday here is that he should get an SE since he's still in the Balaguer Future. More good news too - the 'dream team' are i...

Hutch & Huss are trying their luck here. They are seeded 3 and in the 1st round their opponents will be Levinsky & Scherrer (CZE/SUI). They are due to meet Nestor & Zimonjic (CAN/SRB), the top seeds, at the semi-final stage. Fingers crossed they get that far.

Jamie M has turned up here with Pavel Vizner in tow. I think they have partnered up once (?) before, without too much success. First-round match is against this week's conquerors of Aucks & Goody, Petzschner & Peya, who are the 3rd seeds. That'll be a good 'un to win.
