Sorry, but Charlie Broom should not be playing a 15k, he's too good for this level now.
agreed in general but I wondered if he wanted to play and get a few wins in at a relatively low level, on hard courts, ahead of the grass? He is only playing this one week, from what I can see from the ITF entry list site, and so maybe it is home, practice next week and then Surbiton?
Id also say that he has probably rarely, if ever, been a top seed in a professional tournament. This brings its own pressures and may be beneficial to experience this before moving up. Although clearly I. This instance the schedule would have been decided well in advance and he decided to stick with it rather than take a week off before the grass season.
