British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

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.
