Comments
what a fantastic achievement by a young local lad to get a wild card entry into this prestigous event!
Adrian plays at local tennis and squash club Hazelwood in Ridge Avenue, Winchmore Hill and has helped the first team to some great achievements over the past couple of years. He is rising rapidly up the world rankings, and a place in the top 10 within the next couple of years is not an unrealistic ambition.
Best of luck in the tournament Adrian!
