Copied from Elegant Point in the US college thread:
"British Tour Grade 1 Paddington Not sure the all the seedings were quite right due to the pandemic and College matches not recorded by the LTA (yet - allegedly will be when the WTN is used) but nice to see so many of our college players have qualified for the main draw:
Mens Qualifiers David Stevenson (Memphis), #3 James Davis (Denver), Rahul Dokia (Baylor), #6 Ewan Moore(Tulane), James Wilkinson(Delaware) and Matt Beecher (Campbell)
Main draw wild cards: #5 Toby Samuel (S Carolina), George Davis (William and Mary)
The ladies results havent been updated"
ADD:
A few women's results are now up, with qualification for Boglarka Berecz-Szatmari ; Hannah Davies; Kapari Elizabeth Bagerbaseh; Madeleine Brooks; Ruby Hart & Tiana Fox.
Two more FQR matches yet to be played.
However, what I don't understand is that the main draw has been done. With the qualifiers above placed and two q spots left unfilled.
Which is fine, I guess, although unusual (normally the q slot draw is not done till everyone's finished)
BUT there are also three LL slots. Which have been filled!!!! Even though two of the FQR matches are not played. They've left another LL slot, I think, which I guess is for one of the two losers. But that's not right.

Nice to see Esther Adeshina playing, and with a win.
Will be curious to see how Marni does too.
With Eliz, Amelia Rajecki, Danielle Daley, Jojo, etc. all playing, it's quite a strong draw.
In the men, the college lads continue to do well, with MD wins for the likes of Ewan Moore and Matt beecher.
Looking forward to seeing how Max basing does. And Giles Hussey and Jake Fearnley.....
Michael (Mikal) Kaminski defeated Jacob Fearnley 6-2, 7-6(3) and David Stevenson defeated Mike Shaw 6-2,6-7(4), 7-6(1)
Michael K is doing a PhD in Materials Sciences at Cambridge. He hails from Poland where he was the top player in his district and was a member of the Polish national squad. He was full time until the age of 16.
