I didn't notice earlier but Tahir pulled out before qualifiers were placed, so Liam has a new opponent:

H2H: 1-0 - Liam won 2 & 3 at Beaulieu-sur-Mer juniors in 2011

Im sorry for asking, Im sure this will have been discussed elsewhere, but Fares Ghasya now shows up as Forris Gosea on the ITF site and drawsheet, so is he British now for good?

Edit - sorry discussed in this thread nonetheless, ignore me! Though the ITF site now shows his British spelling. Why does the name change with nationality? Im so confused right now haha

Has anyone seen Forris play btw? Would be really interested to know what is so eccentric about his game. I didnt realise how impressive had been, equalling Andersons (WR18) record for going unbeaten in Top 10 tennis, that has to be promising.

Also, considering he has already spoken of whether to change nationalities, it seems like he must have done. Surely most players would snap up the change to represent a grand slam nation, if they do genuinely have dreams of reaching the top 200 as Forris seems to? I would be disappointed if the LTA couldnt beat the Libyan tennis system in terms of support.
