GL janowicz, ignatik, de bakker

No Ward? Says a lot about the commitment of the Brits that there aren't any of them here.

[Super Djoker]

Surely Smethurst will be here ? ( Lower Ranked Brit ) At least in qualies . He always plays the first challenger in Britain ! Only ranked about 413 but he should surely deserve a wild card ! 2 10k Futures titles this year !

[JurajCrane]

Karol Beck is OUT, due to back problems, he is in Spain on rehabilitation.

[Filo V.]

Karol really struggles with his back. That always seems to be an issue for him. He's always walking around so stiffly. Hopefully he gets better quickly.

[JurajCrane]

It is a big shame, because courts in Sarajevo and Bath really fit his game, and could win at least one of them.

Bogdanovic and Mertens result???

[ranaqu]

Bath futures: Torebko - Bogdanovic 6:2, 5:7, 7:6; Ryderstedt - Mertens 4:6, 6:1, 6:4.

[Filo V.]

Scared about Michi's draw. Huta-Galung then potentially Torebko can both be losses. If he wins those matches, I expect a final. Torebko playing this week in Bath hopefully leaves him tired. And JHG is a bad returner, so Michi just have to serve well and he can pass through that match.

Andi's draw is OK but Golding is talented and can beat him. Andi cannot take the youngster for granted.

Every single British player direct into the draw is in the top half. De Bakker has a decent draw to make a run here if he ever finds the form he had a few years ago. Also a Brands vs Hernych rematch of Sarajevo here. Good opportunity for Jan to continue his food form here.

GL to Michi. He needs to win this event and return to the top 100 and should be motivated, especially after the drama from this week in Sarajevo.

Grigelis, Brands and Ignatik

what a draw for golding
