Hugh Rankin.

A promising player.
A well-earned title.

Hugh was already a budding young tennis player when we first began working together. I had the pleasure of coaching him for around six months, and it was a joy to be part of his development.

In Term 2 of 2025, Hugh became the Queensland Tennis Centre Orange Ball Fixture Champion. It was a wonderful competitive milestone and a reflection of the effort and enthusiasm he brought to his tennis.

Hugh's success is first and foremost his own achievement. I am grateful to have shared a chapter of his journey, and proud to have seen his hard work rewarded on court.

Although our coaching time together has since come to an end, I look back on those months warmly. I wish Hugh every success and continued enjoyment of the game.
