QR1: Louis Allen WR 1894 (CH = 1789 last November) vs Giorgio Tabacco (ITA) UNR
Stuart Parker, if he's playing here next week, will be in the main draw (SE?), as the q1, Markos Kalovelonis, is one below him in the qualies acceptance list.
Wouldnt be an SE would he? As he would have had to reach the final for that? As you have to be playing a previous tournament at the time of the draw, I think.

Not at all sure of the rules, hence the question mark after "SE".
He's quite likely to have made it in as of right (as the first two on the alt list always do, if there's no exemptions playing, and quite often the third)
Also, a good chance of a wildcard (after all, he's been a stalwart Tunisian entry for the past month or so, deserves it)
However, wouldn't be surprised if he's maybe decided that today was enough, played enough matches, back for a rest and then renewed training.
And then took the 2nd set 6-3. A hardly unexpected win albeit against a seed. Considering the Argentine barely plays on Hard courts. Out of nearly 200 tournaments it was only his 9th on a hard court.
