UPDATE FROM STEPHEN
News from the ITF Men's Tour where Conor Gannon is now featuring.
He won two matches to qualify for the main draw in the ITF event in Ljubljana, Slovenia last week, but was unlucky to draw the number 1 seed in the first round and went down 7/6 6/3.
This week he is in Serbia and won his main draw first round match yesterday. He plays his second round match this morning.
