With just one place and just over 30 points separating them in the men's singles world rankings, British No. 2 Marc McCarroll and British No. 3 David Phillipson fly the flag for Britain in the men's events in Plock this week, while Antony Cotterill will bid to defend his quad singles title.
McCarroll beat Phillipson in the final of the Israel Open, their last ITF 2 Series event, at the end of April, while Philipson returns to Plock this week after finishing runner-up in the men's singles and men's doubles in 2010.
Last year Cotterill won his second Polish Open quad singles title in three years, whilst also winning the quad doubles with fellow Brit Adam Field as the Macclesfield player added to a string of ITF 2 Series victories.
After reaching his career best world ranking of No. 9 last month, Cotterill faces similar opposition to last year, against Austrian, French, Polish and Russian players.
