• The tournament summary doesn't cover the first round at all, e.g. notable than a red-linked Bradley made it through and ended up losing to Davis?
  • Sadly, I have no sourcing for the first round. Maybe BennyOnTheLoose can help? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:27, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've added some details for the first round. Lee Vilenski - please refine as necessary. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Why are century breaks in the table in italics?

Ok, I made a couple of tweaks to the material added by BennyOnTheLoose (thanks for that!!) and I'm now happy that this is GA standard, so promoting. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
