great result !

Hope TCU realise that they are VERY lucky to have him :)

Oakland2002 · All-time great

I'm sure hes very pleased to go to TCU, he's billed as a Kiwi on their website will ? can the LTA support him while in college facilitating travel to and entrance to US challengers/futures events on his holidays?

I'm pretty sure he has a dual passport, but now represents GB and assuming he is signed up will get money from the bonus fund. I'm not sure what other funding if any he claims from the LTA. I'm sure he left the NTC claiming it wasn't for him.

Anyway, he is on court as we speak and should win fairly comfortably.

I don't think the terms of his scholarship will allow him to accept money from the bonus fund. He can accept prize money to offset against expenses, but a payment from the bonus fund would, I think, fall into the category of payments received as a professional and therefore remove his amateur status.
