Until Jon sowed the seeds of doubt earlier, I'd been taking the ITF "flagging" as gospel & working on the basis that he was British (never even bothered to check his ATP profile) & he certainly sounds English on that You Tube clip.  However, that very same clip describes him as "Carl Holder from France"!  And then there's this...  An impeccable French source, I'd have said, & his Instagram account says he's a French tennis player who "chase[s] yellow balls for a living" (can't provide a solid link, as I haven't an account), so I guess it's all back up in the air, unless someone can come up with incontrovertible evidence one way or the other!  confuse

Impeccable but out of date

The Les Petits As is from 5 or so years ago

It's not now

He had a lot of 'Frenchie' stuff from back then - including the Ghana event with the Youtube - it's old

Everything I see now suggests GBR, including what I assume to be his linkedin

 This feels like a real free hit for Ewen - Added is a decent player and if Ewen could get a win over someone of his level, it would be a real boost. Come on Ewen!

 Going by rankings, I guess he should have lost his QF 

But yes, looks a decent opportunity.

 You are already on a warning of this sort of thing.
