I agree with chocandlolly as in Jack - if fit -will play UK events, he won't be free to choose to play other places, because he's a major recipient of LTA funding and therefore will (most probably) have to support the LTA events if required.
But (a) he might be injured whatever (b) points may be given whatever and (c) who cares? He's only 20, he can play for points or not, there are many ways to improve your career - after all, you can play Davis Cup and get no points and no one complains.
We wait to see what the ATP and the WTA and the AELTC decide - but it's hardly a career changer - no one played for points/at all last year's 'Wimbledon' and yet here we all are.... (well, actually not all, with condolences to all those affected, coz there are bigger issues, and that's the whole point)

Is there a reason for the withdrawal?

Answering my own question: he's tweaked a leg muscle. Nothing major, according to James Gray on Twitter.

When you say no one played for points at all at last years Wimbledon, what do you mean?! Points where awarded? Or am I going completely mad?!

Maybe meant the cancelled 2020 event ?

Lily and Katie Swan have tough old draws in RG qualies, both get seeds. Katie gets 10th seed Tomova

Mens, Ryan and Paul avoid seeds, Liam is 32 seed. Dont expect much from the men but not bad looking openers

There is an unusual situation in the W15 in Oran, Algeria where they abandoned the Q event, transferred all Q entries into the Main draw and still had 11 Byes in the Main draw.
