This year two tournaments in the Dominican Republic have upgraded to Grade 2s and attracted a strong field as a result. Derrick Chen and Jasmine Conway play Canadian siblings.
But Lui's opponent is from quite a tennis family. Although his parents were not tennis players, his dad's brothers certainly were - one, John, a high level college coach at Oklahoma for many years and the other, Andy, a former world #1. Probably had a lot of top level advice and support!

Thanks - I wondered if he was any relation to Andy, but hadn't checked. JC was a semifinalist in his last event - a Grade 1 - so not a loss for Lui to be concerned about. Derrick's was more disappointing, as his opponent was replaced by a Lucky Loser with modest record. American opposition for all in round 2 - Max's opponent has also reached a Grade 1 semi this year
