David thanks for all that.

Do you have time to give us a short Bio on El Menshawy. Have you seen him play ?

His name is starting to appear more and more and to be honest know very little about him.

Is he part of the Aegon team ?

Thanks in advance.

Ahmed is in Goldenslam's stable so we're not allowed to have an opinion

Most of the junior tennis I watch is events like last week's Italian Open and the Copa Gerdau which are streamed and/or televised, and I have never seen Ahmed in any of these. However here is a recent article which gives you some background info:
