He was on the Alt list for the Florianopolis Challenger this week, but in fact, making another inspired choice, Edward has returned to Africa to play a Future on the Spanish enclave of Melilla, where he is the top seed in qualifying.

Becomes only the tenth 15 year old to win a Tour main draw match in the history of tennis. The last person to do this was Nadal when he beat Ramon Delgado in Mallorca in 2002.

I have no insider knowledge of the players, but I wonder if anyone o...
