Two of Scotland’s top men’s singles players are in Pessac, France this week as they compete at the FZ FORZA Future Series Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Robertson, meanwhile, has already booked his place in the main draw and is expected to begin his tournament tomorrow as he looks to put together a strong run in France.
