I believe fulford-jones has rich parents so he can afford to pursue his dream around the tennis world, they paid for him to go to bolettieri's for a few years. He's a friend of boggo's I believe and spends quite a bit of time hanging out in Tampa where the likes of Boggo, Baker, Mackin etc based themselves for the winter. He's alright as a player, made top 1000 briefly through african futures events so is definately several classes up from likes of Rob Dee (who despite his futures record is good enough to win money tournaments in spain so is probably lower county standard in gb).

he's had a fair few crazy experiences on tour.....staying in a mental hospital for some eastern european futures so had nutters wandering around in middle of the night. He's been in some hotels where the ground floor rooms have no windows so giant lizards get in and roam free during the small hours

txs for that interesting imfo mate. i hope he comes back and concentrates on doubles, he won a few matches there. maybe boggo could ave him as a permanent partner, that way he could only get better.
