This usually means Wednesday of next week, but there will be only one round of pairs tomorrow, so it is quite likely that most of the singles may be run off during the afternoon, if those drawn to meet each other . have failed to qualify in the pairs. Meantime all interest today is centred on the second event in the three championships; the pairs and the commence on Friday.
