Bedene opts to represent Slovenia again
From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
ALJAZ BEDENE is returning to play tennis for Slovenia despite having competed for Great Britain since 2015.
The 49th-ranked Bedene says he has notified the International Tennis Federation (ITF) that he will compete for his native country as of 2018.
Bedene’s decision was prompted by his desire to compete in the Davis Cup and the 2020 Olympics, which he could not do under the British flag after losing an appeal with the ITF.
