It looks like Josh might have got into the main draw here after all if he had wanted to, because qualifying is half-empty and the no. 1 Q seed is ranked 382, with the top 4 Q seeds going down to 582 and the 8th seed ranked just 1572. A golden opportunity missed for a a few of 300-500 range Brits here, I feel QR2:...

Week 18 - Futures F17 (10k) - Lleida, Spain

Another 10K in Spain with a 12layer qualifying draw starting on a Friday. Sadly, despite there being free spaces in the draw, it seems that Robert's media commitments have stopped him from being there. At least, I hope it's that and not because he feels like he needs to lie low for a bit after things go...

M & M back in tandem here and unseeded. Their first match is against the Polish pair, Frystenberg and Matkowski. Not an easy start. If they get past them 'Old Man' Bjorkman and Jamie's partner of this week, Kev, will be wating for them. I hope I'm wrong, but I see a potential banana skin here!
