Not often I applaud the French Open, but this is very good to see.

From steven's twitter feed:

lovely to know that Andy Murray was out there supporting Liam - he's a real trooper, our Andy

And perspective:

"Liam is only the 5th British qualifier in men's singles at #RolandGarros in the last 50 years:
2020
@Liambroady

2015
@kyle8edmund

2014
@JamesWardtennis

1973 John Lloyd
1972 John de Mendoza
As you can see, - there was a 41-year gap between the first 2 of those 5 and the last 3"

And here's Liam doing his starfish, as above:

 The tattooed chest, though, might not be for everyone

(Mind you, be definition, it's not for everyone, it's for Liam himself, so whatever makes you happy, pet)

Couldn't be happier for the lad. A proper pro that grafts and grafts and grafts. Well done, hope he gets a good draw.

 Big money. Must be Liam's biggest single tournament payday. Hopefully he gets a good draw.

 Apparently from 2004 - 2020 the 'big four' have won 57 of 63 men's major singles titles - Andy has 3 of them. Would be good to see a Brit man go further at Roland Garros or even win a major smile Good luck Liam.

 Big money. Must be Liam's biggest single tournament payday. Hopefully he gets a good draw. 

 If we add in the UK Pro Series events prizemoney, where he earned something like $29k from memory, and the other events he has played domestically and Challengers, then this French money could take him to close to $100k for the year. Not sure how that compares but this must be one of his most successful tennis earning years and probably with his lowest costs to boot...

Apparently Kyle has withdrawn from FO according to the folks doing the draw, as has Raonic and Verdasco
