I think/hope he takes some time toughening up and getting stronger- really got to put the hard yards in to get to the fitness level you need. Maybe some more training blocked before the grass and the wild cards it will hopefully bring?
I thought I remembered seeing Hossam's name before and looked him up on the ITF. Seems to have had a bit of a rough 2012, but his 2011 results (beat Coppejeans, Couacaud, Dellien and Quinzi on clay) suggest that (a) he's underranked, (b) he has quite a bit of potential and (c) on clay, "at home" he would be a bit of a threat.

He has beaten today 4-6 3-6 by a qualifier Toledo Bague from Spain (WR 848)
