Interesting. Lui was down to play his first British tour event at his home club West Worthing this week. I suppose he can do both if its an early exit?

 I don't know if the rules allow it (they don't allow anyone to play a Pro ITF and British Tour same week, but possibly Junior ITF would be ok).  However he would certainly have to lose his first round match tomorrow (scheduled second on) as the Worthing main draw is done Monday evening.  Although Storch is higher ranked, Lui has the more impressive record this year, so he should be looking to progress here, and save the British Tour for later.

Jack and Alex both pick up top 100 scalps, with several results still to come

This has come from kind of nowhere with Jack.

I know he was quite highly thought of a few years ago but haven't seen much to suggest this.

Good job. Tough SF.

A brilliant win from Jack - Svrcina is a highly rated player
