Turns out Théo Fournerie is the son of Christophe Fournerie, who was Amélie Mauresmo's coach when she reached her first slam final (AO 1999) and was something of a specialist at losing to Brits - he had a 0-3 record in Challengers in the early-mid 1990s and 2 of the 3 losses were to Tim Henman and Jamie Delgado.

Théo is the (joint) second best 1997 boy in France (rankings just released). His mum was a pro too, ex No 22 in France, I think, which beats Dad who made it to French No 32.
But like most youngsters, his result sheet has a lot of ups and downs - David may well have a decent chance, especially as it's the first round for Théo.
R1: David Porter & Adam Skalsky UNR (David has a doubles ranking of 1184; Adam is unranked) vs (3) Alexander Lazov & Vladyslav Manafov (BUL/UKR) CR 1242 (729+513)
