L32: (4) Vladyslav Orlov (UKR) WR 418 (CH = 393 in February) vs (WC) Ali Habib UNR
L32: Qualifier vs Aidan McHugh WR 552 (CH = 461 in August last year)
Not sure Habib is kosher. I seem to recall that he popped up last year in this part of the world & someone pointed out that he was in fact Egyptian or from another Middle Eastern country.

Looking at his ITF profile. Looks like he played a lot of British junior itf tournaments about 3 years ago and since then just the summer July ones since. Looks like he has recently played a lot of Junior grade 5 tournaments in Serbia without any success.

No, SC.
I think you're thinking of Mohamed Abdel Aziz, the brother of Donia
Both players come from the North of England somewhere but Mohamed plays for Egypt, whereas Donia used to play for GB (I think she's quit now), indeed Mohamed might have stopped too. However, Mohamed often had a GB flag by his name, for some reason (probably some historic thing on the ITF site or something)
Ali Habib is completely fine, I'm pretty sure. He's a junior.
I've seen him play a couple of times (in the UK), I've never heard any question of him playing for another country.

Ah, that's it! Thanks for elaborating. I was too lazy to look back - & I'm supposed to be working!
