Herts junior, Joshua Rose has enjoyed success in the USA over the past 2 weeks, practicing and playing against national level players from 8 countries and winning 5 of his matches, whilst there.
This photograph of Josh was taken after making the final of The Casely 11th Championships and just losing to a Canadian 12&U national player, ranked number 4 in his own country.
This was a great experience for Josh and one we will build on for the future and we now know the level he needs to reach to make it in the national top flight of junior tennis.
Josh, who trains full time at Gosling IHPC in Welwyn Garden City now realises that they is a lot of hard work required during 2012.
