Helena Ullyatt (9) from Gerrards Cross played eight tournaments over Easter and she now has difficulty holding her racket after all the prizes she won.
She trains with Tennace at Gxltc and is at Maltmans Green School. Her coach, Andy Scholfield is very pleased with her progress ‘Helena loves tennis; she always tries her best and shows great determination. I am delighted she has been able to play so many tournaments because it really helps her to progress’ On Saturday she represented Bucks in the regional Lionel Cox trophy playing at number one and winning a decisive last match in three sets in the 5th/6th play-off.
