If you go back over 45 years to a Davis Cup tie held at the  Queens Cub  between Great Britain and Iran you will find Bahrami's name.  He was well beaten by Roger Taylor and lost a closer match with John Lloyd. Additionally  unseeded with Frenchman  Eric  Winogradsky he reached the finals of the mens doubles in Paris 1989 losing a 4 set final to Jim Grabb and Patrick McEnroe.

Had to look up the Jensens, but apparently Luke was known as Dual Hand Luke because he was ambidextrous and could serve over 130 mph with either hand.

 They've crept in to a qualifier place as well

 Just realised Monfils got auto spelled checked to Mongols...I'm guessing most people realised Genghis Khan and his gang didnt have much time for tennis.

Poll closes and 4 mens qualifiers are Bahrami, Brown, Haas and Brothers. As in Jensen Brothers.

Well done to them and we will see them in the round 1 draw tonight.
