He's certainly not in the draw. Though he was indeed on the entry list - indeed still is on the ITF site though latish withdrawals are usually not taken off.
That questionable dash over to the US for 15Ks after his Portugal 25K successes hasn't worked out. A relative struggle then QF exit in week 1 and withdrawal for whatever reason in week 2.
I recall Katy Dunne 'celebrating' an unexpected France 60K triumph in 2019 by jumping on a plane to Japan, retiring in R1 and aborting the remainder of her planned Japan trip.
Sometimes you need to hold back previous plans, savour, and then move on again.

agreed, and glad to see Liam didnt jump on a place and head off half way around the world for that exact reason!

It's one thing to jump on the plane because you've suddenly made the draw for a big tournament but a 15k!! utterly ludicrous. There must have been a reason he scheduled 2 25 follwed by 2 x 15k but I can't see it.
