Does Marc Beckles not like Mondays! It looks like the FQR was a step too far after his heroics yesterday. Great revenge for Mathew though good to see Neil qualifying again but a bit of a surprise that Dr No went out - that must have been quite a match though, 12-10 10-8!
Main draw next ...

Another not very friendly main draw for the Brits you'd otherwise expect to pick up some points, but plenty of chances for some more heroics if they feel up to it! I noticed that at least three of the players in the draw have seen their rankings change by around 100 places today, so if you notice big differences from the rankings shown on the drawsheet, that's why!
L32 Q1: (1) Richard Bloomfield WR 316 v Tim Goransson (SWE) WR 659 L32 Q1: Ian Flanagan WR 809 v Dylan Sessagesimi (SUI) WR 865 L32 Q1: (Q) Mathew James UNR v (Q) Milos Sekulic (SWE) WR 1392 L32 Q1: (5) Ken Skupski WR 562 v Daniel Cox WR 841
L32 Q2: (WC) Josh Milton WR 831 v (4) Grégoire Burquier (FRA) WR 545 L32 Q2: (Q) Maniel Bains WR 1028 v Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 852 No Brits in the bottom half of Q2, where the seed is Mecir.
L32 Q3: Colin Fleming WR 819 v (8) Daniel Danilovic (MNE) WR 625 L32 Q3: (WC) Daniel Smethurst WR 1019 v (WC) Jack Carpenter UNR L32 Q3: Neil Bamford WR 711 v Petru Luncanu (ROU) WR 680 L32 Q3: Matt Illingworth WR 751 v (3/Q) Jean-Noël Insausti (FRA) WR 456
L32 Q4: (WC) James Marsalek UNR v (6) Robert Varga (HUN) WR 599 L32 Q4: (Q) Burnham Arldige WR 985 v Jurgen Zopp (EST) WR 665 L32 Q4: (Q) Neil Pauffley WR 1471 v Yann Marti (SUI) WR 823 Winner to play (2) Cerovic or (LL) Grusiecki

Here are the results so far with rankings and how R2 is shaping up:
L32 Q1: (1) Richard Bloomfield WR 316 beat Tim Goransson (SWE) WR 659 by 1 & 4 L32 Q1: Ian Flanagan WR 809 v Dylan Sessagesimi (SUI) WR 865 L32 Q1: (Q) Mathew James UNR v (Q) Milos Sekulic (SWE) WR 1392 L32 Q1: (5) Ken Skupski WR 562 beat Daniel Cox WR 841 by 6-7(4) 6-4 6-4
L32 Q2: (WC) Josh Milton WR 831 beat (4) Grégoire Burquier (FRA) WR 545 by 5 & 3 L32 Q2: (Q) Maniel Bains WR 1028 lost to Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 852 by 5 & 0 No Brits in the bottom half of Q2, where the seed, Mecir, went out to Marc Beckles' FQR conqueror Kromann
L32 Q3: Colin Fleming WR 819 beat (8) Daniel Danilovic (MNE) WR 625 by 5 & 4 L32 Q3: (WC) Daniel Smethurst WR 1019 beat (WC) Jack Carpenter UNR by 4 & 2 L32 Q3: Neil Bamford WR 711 beat Petru Luncanu (ROU) WR 680 by 4 & 3 L32 Q3: Matt Illingworth WR 751 lost to (3/Q) Jean-Noël Insausti (FRA) WR 456 by 2 & 3

Milton and Bam-Bam (beating last week's runner-up) seem to be the stars so far - Colin too, but he's underranked for obvious reasons and I was expecting him to win that one.
L16 Q1: (1) Richard Bloomfield WR 316 v Ian Flanagan WR 809 or Dylan Sessagesimi (SUI) WR 865 L16 Q1: (5) Ken Skupski WR 562 v (Q) Mathew James UNR or (Q) Milos Sekulic (SWE) WR 1392 L16 Q2: (WC) Josh Milton WR 831 v Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 852 L16 Q3: Colin Fleming WR 819 v (WC) Daniel Smethurst WR 1019 L16 Q3: Neil Bamford WR 711 v (3/Q) Jean-Noël Insausti (FRA) WR 456 L16 Q4: (WC) James Marsalek UNR or (6) Robert Varga (HUN) WR 599 v (Q) Burnham Arlidge WR 985 or Jurgen Zopp (EST) WR 665
