Nice to see Ed Seator's name in the qualies frame. He's currently unranked, but has a singles career high of 494 from May 2008, the year in which he was playing Futures events regularly (+ a couple of Challengers & QR1 at Wimbledon, where he lost to Louk Sorenson, of all people, by 2 & 1), even winning a doubles title (doubles CH 426), but following the August of that year, he disappeared off the tennis-playing radar, yet he's only 28! According to the ATP, he popped up at this event last year, but went out in the first round to Scott Duncan by 3 & 2 & pocketing only $156 for his pains! I'll be keeping my fingers firmly crossed for him this year.
An honourable mention, too, for 42-year-old Gregory Howe, who has a career high of 1222, also from 2008 (August).
Not a great interview honestly - poor sound quality at times and some rather weird questions (who really cares about what the exact format is for changing university?) - but some interesting stuff too, and puts a voice and a face to a name.
