Liam's reward for Qualifying at this years AO???





















He plays Nick Kyrgios in R1.
:GBflag:

[Hawkeye]

And Harriet's reward is Iga Swiatek...

[Sallydaisy]

Kyrgios is currently self-isolating and will only have one day 'out' to get
some proper practice - but he's a dangerous opponent despite that!

Liam's reward for Qualifying at this years AO???























He plays Nick Kyrgios in R1.

Lots of incentive though! Andy tweeted ‘But has slipped back to number 4 in Britain in the live rankings. Tough.’
