L32: James Ward WR 377 v (WC) Nassim Slilam (FRA) UNR L32: (3) Alexander Slabinsky WR 274 v Jeremy Blandin (FRA) WR 356 L32: Chris Eaton WR 378 v (5) Jeroen Masson (BEL) WR 304
Slilam was a top 100 junior, seems fairly useful but Ward should beat him. Blandin is quite useful and will be a test for Slabba. Masson is on a four match losing streak since ending Dan Evans' big winning streak in August.
The OoP here http://www.tenniseurope.org/PDF/Professional/mens/2008/Oct-Dec08/LaRoche/op.pdf has Chris Eaton and Alexander Ward playing the French pair Michon & Rufin today, which is an interesting mistake for them to make given that you wouldn't expect the organisers of a French tournament to even know that there were two Wards. It's James of course, Alexander is in Spain!
None of the Brits are playing singles here today.
