Obviously in order to differentiate between Alex/James Ward/Alex Bogdanovic and for the sake of quickness when typing messages a decided upon nickname for Alex would be quite useful.

Number 1 seed in qualies is Ken Skupski, who I imagine forgot to enter/ chose to enter late, and is ranked 500 places above anyone else in the draw. Also in Qualies is Jonny Marray currently playing without a ranking but you would think pretty certain to reach the main draw of thise fairly weak event. So g...
