Have we acquired another player?  Last week, when he & Ben Jones won the doubles title as wild cards in Monastir, the 24-year-old was quite clearly flying the US flag according to the ITF site.  The ITF is still showing him as representing the US.  Sofascore this week has assigned him a Union flag & the ATP reckons he's one of ours (apparently born in Birmingham - presumably not Birmingham, Alabama!).

I would think that it could be the James Hopper from New Jersey that played college tennis for Case Western and Virginia. Age, height etc match

Various other websites show him as GB also, but they may take their feed from a single source

In these LTA rankings lists from October 23 and Sept 24, Hopper is listed at 359 and 393 respectively in the British mens doubles lists. So the LTA saw him as British then it seems; in

In this round up from last week, the LTA describe him as American.

Lambda reported on Hopper as being maybe British, maybe American in the college thread in January

britishtennis.activeboard.com/t70093312/general-college-chat-202425/

So it has been reported on but probably missed as he wasnt playing ITF events
