According to International Tennis Federation (ITF) rules, Bedene cannot represent Britain at the Olympics as he previously played for Slovenia in the Davis Cup from 2010-12 before gaining British citizenship in 2015. "That (Olympics) is a dream for every athlete," Bedene was quoted as saying by British media. "At the moment, I'm representing Great Britain but I do want to play at the Olympic Games. I guess that means playing for the Davis Cup for them (Slovenia) as well." Bedene, who beat Harrison 6-4 6-0 3-6 6-1, faces Czech Jiri Vesely in the second round on Wednesday.
