WARRINGTON tennis starlet Danny Urey insisted he could still hold his head up high despite falling just short of a dream outing at Wimbledon.
As the likes of British No.1 Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams prepared for their assault on Wimbledon, Urey had the chance to book himself a spot at the world-famous venue.
He competed in the HSBC Road to Wimbledon North Regional Qualifier at Ilkley Tennis Club in West Yorkshire.
The 13-year-old Bridgewater High School pupil was playing for a spot at August’s under 14s national finals of the HSBC Road to Wimbledon Challenge at the All England Club, looking to walk away as overall champion of the tournament but he unfortunately fell just short.
HSBC is the Official Banking Partner of The Championships and is committed to supporting grassroots tennis, helping to inspire the next generation of Wimbledon stars to take their tennis careers from the back garden to Centre Court through the HSBC Road to Wimbledon 14 & Under Challenge. @HSBC_sport
