The girls seem to be chalking up a fair few dedicated threads, so I thought it was time to begin to redress the balance with one marking the exploits of Rhys Lawlor, who, at the tender age of 16, took full advantage of a qWC for the M25 in Sheffield this week not only to reach the main draw, but also to reach the last 16 by thumping the 19-year-old French JE, Nathan Trouvé, by 2 & 2.

He's from Redbourn, a village in Hertfordshire four miles from St Albans, doesn't yet have an ATP profile (though the ITF provides one of sorts & Wimbledon has given him one thanks to the fact that he played in the Boys' Singles & Doubles there this year, falling to the 18-year-old American, Maxwell Exsted, by 5-7 6-4 0-6 in the first round of the singles) & is one of the current players at Loughborough University National Tennis Academy.  Denizens of the junior tennis forum will doubless know a helluva lot more about him than I was able to unearth in a brief trawl of Google.

And has now tasted success in the first round of the doubles alongside 18-year-old Jay Johnson-Hauldren.  The intrepid unranked teenagers beat those seasoned campaigners, Alexis Canter & Ewen Lumsden, by 5 & 2.

Wait, you're telling me with the name 'Rhys' he isn't Welsh?? I'm guessing one or both of his parents is, because that's the Welsh spelling.

 Maybe they just liked the name?

Just to add, Rhys was the double doubles champion in nationals in 2024

He won the 16U doubles and the 18U doubles

He also won the 16U doubles title in 2025

But lost in the final of the 18U doubles

Young Rhys has a WC into the main draw in Glasgow this week &, I'm guessing, into the doubles alongside Charlie Robertson.

Young Rhys is nominated for October player of the month - but it is purely on his junior title earlier this month. It looks like he has done a lot more and we are underselling him


britishtennis.activeboard.com/t72196513/british-tennis-forum-october-2025-player-of-the-month-award-/

I know SC doesnt venture into the PoM threads, but is there a chance SC or someone else would be willing to update his record to show what else he has achieved this month? What we have in the PoM thread doesnt feel like it does the job!
