At $1k per pair for losing in the first round, it makes sense for Liam to play doubles this week. As well as doubles prize money, he may get some extra days free accommodation.
Liam is first up on Ct 16 at 10.00am local. I think this is 19:00 GMT, let's hope the court is streamed.
As Steve says it makes sense for Liam to play doubles this week. I would have thought more generally is pretty questionable with clearly his main focus being singles.
