TENNIS: Connor stars in national finals
3:00pm Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport
Connor Ferguson produced an impressive performance to finish fifth in the country at the Winter Nationals.
The youngster, who trains at Abingdon’s White Horse Leisure & Tennis Centre, battled it out with the other top 15 players in the country in the Under 10 Grade 1 event at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.
And despite being one of the youngest – only three players will be able to continue playing in the same age group this summer – Ferguson defied the odds, before being beaten by the eventual winner in the quarter-finals.
To qualify for the event, players had to perform well in a number of events during the course of the season.
