After a grueling month roadtrip covering 3 States, Lachys results have seen his Australian rankings skyrocket.

Lachy with Scott Draper (Head Coach at the National Academy- Brisbane) and Matt Richards (Tennis Qld Junior development Manager) at the Junior Nationals in Perth.

He is currently Ranked 5 in Australia in his Age group and has jumped over 1000 places to 960 in the Australian open rankings where Lleyton Hewitt is number 1. Top 1000 at 11 years old is fantastic.
The highlight of this trip for Lachy was being a part of the winning Qld Bruce Cup Team in Adelaide.
He has just completed a 3 day intensive development camp at the State Tennis centre, which actually clashed with his competing at the State Athletics Championship. Given the choice, of course he chose Tennis.
November he is off to Sydney for the Medibank Cup and December he will be at Melbourne Park at the Summer Nationals. With his new rankings he will automatically qualify for these larger Tournaments.
A huge thank you to all of the local clubs and associations and individuals who have contributed to Lachys travel costs, without which, this journey to date would have been very different. It is through this generosity that has allowed Lachy these opportunities and results.
Stay safe and well Dayboro and Merry Christmas from the Fergusons.
