My Competitive Tennis Journey
I began playing tennis at age 11 at my local club, where what started as recreational play quickly evolved into a serious competitive pursuit.
By 14, I was competing in LTA tournaments throughout London, and by 16, I had achieved a ranking within the top 200 juniors nationally. The pinnacle of my junior career was qualifying for the Wimbledon U16 Qualifiers in 2016 - an experience that provided invaluable insight into high-level competitive tennis.
During my competitive years, I trained alongside players who eventually pursued professional careers, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of the standards and dedication required for elite performance. I worked with experienced coaches who emphasized not only technical proficiency but also the mental and tactical aspects of the game.
Today, I bring this accumulated experience to my hitting sessions in West Hampstead. While I don't offer formal coaching, I provide something distinct - the perspective of someone who has competed at a national level and understands what constitutes effective, purposeful practice.
