JPJ downwards is the bottom half of the draw. Play starts tomorrow at 11.00 EST/16.00 BST.
So for better or worse, all 9 managed to avoid each other in QR1 - it was only just over 50/50 them managing that.
Just 2 possible clashes during qualifying. As indicated Toby could meet Billy in QR2 of section 7. Also less likely, Liam and Harry could meet in section 14 FQR.
That's about a good a set of draws you can hope for. Mostly playing clay courters with no real form. JPJ beat Svadja fairly comfortably in their only meeting.
Only Searle not playing today
Does NOW (Sky Sports) have ALL the quali matches livestreamed? Or just a couple of courts?
I can see 6 streams at the moment on Sky Sports. Grandstand, 5, 7, 11, 16 and 17. Grandstand is Neal in the mixed. Jake is on Court 5. 15 courts in play right now.
