I don't believe it! What on earth were his parents thinking? That he'd somehow make his way into Irish tennis legend after wandering the Futures circuit for 10 years?
Ed used to post on here, around the same time that Fitzy started to do the same. Both made the top 500 in the end (I seem to remember Ed being GB no. 10 when he did so) and hopefully Fitzy still has a chance to go higher. I assume Ed is coaching now and just playing for fun when there's a Futures event here.
Greg Howe is a long way from base too - at least the temperature dip for him might not be as much as it would usually be!

On second thoughts, perhaps the explanation's a little more mundane: they're admirers of a certain James Joyce...

Ulysses is a little more common in France (delusions of grandeur ?) - although any reasonable parent would still steer clear by a country mile.
However, I do also know several Achilles, Hippolyte, Aristide, Virgil . . .
