Gregory is 33 I beleive.
Steveg got the nationalities wrong, Andrew Howe is an Australian.
Congrats to Gregory for qualifying, he's started playing futures again this August and has had some pretty decent wins, this'll be one of his best chances for getting his first ever ranking point.
Amadeus will be seeded here and with a bit of luck, Ross might be aswell. Hopefully Amadeus can get a few wins under his belt here, he's been really struggling for form as of late [or he might have been unwell].
Johnson is 18 but he's not one of our top juniors [doesn't have a junior or a senior ranking]. We don't have any players of note with the surname Thompson.
