Began playing tennis aged four. His father, Peter, was a tennis coach.
Played football until the age of 14.

Competed in all four majors as a junior, climbed as high as World No. 28.
Remained in school throughout the juniors.
Was a “massive fan” of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. “The way [Jo] could get the crowds going, he was so exciting to watch. I loved the way he'd keep coming forward, [hit] diving volleys or just do a bit more exciting stuff compared to some of the rest.”
Likes searching for the best coffee he can find and also enjoys turning on his Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.
