But, after last week's retirement and despite him still being on the MD list, there is no sign of Ryan Storrie in the main draw, so - unfortunately - you've got to fear that's something not so nice...
Slightly unlucky that he got a seed.
Given three qualifiers got unseeded guys, and one got a wildcard.
BUT one got the top seed, so at least that wasn't him
In true slightly irritating style, the guy who Ali beat has now got a LL spot and be drawn against a qualifier. (Which means that one of the qualifiers also got a far easier draw).
