Albot has been stellar in Futures this year (95% W/L record, and a LOT of matches played). He should be making the move to the next level, but I think grass might be too tough a surface for him.

Q picks: Zverev, Zhang, Olivetti, Authom.

Weak qualies here.

Molchanov bt Bozoljac 7-6 2-6 6-4 :help:
Ledovskikh bt Begemann 7-5 7-5
Olivetti bt Marx 6-3 6-4
Brunken bt Brunstrom 6-4 6-4
Kuznetsov bt Struff 7-5 4-6 6-1 :yeah: :unsure:
Millman bt Ghem 6-3 5-7 6-4

Good Victory for Millman, Bozo have problems with the umpire in 3 set..

QR1:
Zverev > Albot 76[8], 75
Chvojka > Kirillov 63, 30, Ret'd

QR2:
[8] Zhang > Ledovskikh 64 61
[3] Kudryavtsev > Olivetti 64, 62
[5] Kravchuk > Brunken 62, 64
[7] Smyczek > Millman 63, 75

Kudryavtsev vs. Kravchuk. One brainless ballbasher will reach Main Draw. :facepalm:

Well it's not like it's a surprise out of that section, besides the Q's are just pretty weak overall.

(4) Authom > Kuznetsov 64, 62
Molchanov > (2) Chiudinelli 62, 57, 64

Molchanov bt Bozoljac 7-6 2-6 6-4 :help:

Yeah! Nice surprise from Denys Molchanov, the first matches on grass in his career and the first two wins!

Kravchuk bt Kudryavtsev 5-2 Ret.
Smyczek bt Authom 7-6 (8) 6-4 :yeah:
