The doubles draw confirms Jack Draper's presence in Sharm, not to mention Jay Clarke's!
L16: (1) Hsu Yu Hsiou & Shintaro Imai (TPE/JPN) CR 727 (369+358) vs Simon Carr (IRL) & Jack Draper CR 1374 (635+739) L16: Jay Clark & Aidan McHugh UNR (0 [but a CH of 221 in April 2018]+680) vs (WC) Lorenzo Claverie & Flavio Cobolli (ITA/ITA) UNR (0+578)
L16: Nick Hardt & José Olivares (DOM/DOM) CR 1411 (495+916) vs (WC) Morgan Phillips ( ) & Jack Pinnington Jones UNR (1997+0)
It might have felt daunting , but Jack and Simon Carr have taken the first set off the top seeds, 6-3
I don't think Jay ever intended to be in Sharm, as he was aiming for challengers, so he couldn't play singles unless they gave him a wild card. That would have been tough on the rest of the entry !
On-site sign-in for doubles though, so he was able to enter. And I guess Liam wants a week off, or he would be playing as well.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I think Jay/Liam are using Sharm as a training base before moving on to other challengers. I am sure their motive is to avoid quarantine regulations in the UK.
