It's tough enough when two friends get drawn against each other in R1, so it must be even worse when it is two brothers. Anyway, congrats to Jay and I hope Curtis isn't too disheartened. I have no doubt he will give his brother full support for the rest of the week.
I think it means in his opinion, he is aloud to have one, although yours may be different and based on a much sounder knowledge base that one brother is better than the other. But, I will leave it to CD clarify.

He plays against the #8 seed today and Jay is up against the #6 seed

I think this is still an error on some of the ITF livescore sites (other ITF sites have him as playing for Egypt, as does the ATP)
DavidC has talked about this before.
Mohamed could play for GB (his sister, Donia, does) but I think he still plays for Egypt.
Unless, of course, he's just changed, in which case 'welcome!' - but I know there've been conflicting sites before and Egypt has been the right one then.
Add: I wonder if maybe Yasmin could ask him and kindly let us know ?
Good luck to Jay, and him, whatever.

Valiant effort from Jay against a much higher ranked opponent. I am sure he will be frustrated that he was a break up in the decider but twice got broken from 40-15 up. But these things happen and the scoring system is one of the things that makes tennis so exciting.
So I hope Jay can take a lot of positives from this, competing well against the Nš8 seed and I am sure he will come back stronger next time.
