He's a bit of an enigma to me...only playing in the UK and mostly Portugal (never outside of Europe), stops and starts his schedule. I think I read that he's studying at UCL, perhaps he's there in person full time? Unclear, but from the matches I've seen (which are numerous) he has the potential to be a very good player, but he needs matches and probably a bit of on-court discipline too.

 I think that he is not fully committed to the tour yet. I wonder if he is just doing enough to maintain his ranking ready for a full on assault in a year or 2.
