So, all but one FQR match has GB interest, two guaranteed qualifiers, two more Brits higher-ranked than their opponents. Surprised to see Bradshaw lose (excellent result for Evans) and Milton pushed so close by Gill.

Oops, a tiny bit of duplication there! The smileys are usually helpful at identifying the shocks, but there was only one and that's mentioned in Shhh's post, so I've taken QR1/QR2 out of my post (since it's already in Smidster's) but left my FQR list with the extra note in and taken out Smidster's FQR list. Hope that makes sense!

WC's for Flemming (vs Bloomers), Pauffley, Arlidge and Skupski
Great result for member Fitzy!
I edited in advanced and added smilies but then found no reply/submit button so could not post - anyone know what has happened? (When 'editing' the submit button reappears.)
in amin draw eaton meets evans and flembo meets bloomers... so two interesting encounters, however the sort you would prefer to be quarter finals at least !
Lovely result by Fitzy there, beating Charroin! Good stuff Close one from Marcus but hope to see him do well here after his progress towards the end of last year (until he got injured that is)
