First Famous Player You Met Or Encountered: … Jeez… I don’t even know… maybe Lleyton in Sydney.

Greatest Moment Of Career: Probably my debut in Davis Cup. Or beating Murray at Queens when he was world no. 1 (as LL in 1R in 2017 76 62 – first Australian to beat Murray in 21 tries on ATP World Tour, his first top ten win, and first ATP grass court match win).
