L32: (WC) Arthur Féry WR 141 defeated (WC) Toby Samuel WR 150 by 0 & 2
Mensik (3) or Mannarino in the last 16.
L16: Adrian Mannarino (FRA) WR 44 (CH = 17 in January 2024) vs (WC) Arthur Féry WR 141
Mannarino saw off Mensik by 5-7 7-6(3) 7-6(5).
CD may know, would it be possible Arthur and Mannarino know each other through French connections/background? Part of me feels Mannarino may have some sort of British connection in his background but I have no idea where I might have dredged that from!

There's a big age gap between them
So I doubt they've crossed much
I don't know of any special GB connection for Mannarino (unlike Jeremy Chardy, for instance)

I watched the interview live, having watched the end of the match
I have to say I burst out laughing
Which is not often in an interview
The poor interviewer really struggled and made it far worse - it was almost like one of those primary school occasions - if you tell kids not to do something, they just do it more

But that's Moutet, a primary school kid
It started well as well, he was v articulate and spoke lucidly and then! I laughed as well, still makes me smile thinking about it
Just reading the daily mail comments on it - cant believe they are all outraged! Crazy! Since when did Reform voters get outraged by a little humorous swearing!
