(PRESS RELEASE) LOUGHBOROUGH, 22-Jun-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Henry Searle, an emerging tennis talent from Loughborough University National Tennis Academy (LUNTA), has secured a wildcard entry to compete in the singles main draw at this summer’s Wimbledon. The prestigious tournament, scheduled from Monday, July 1 to Sunday, July 14, will see the 18-year-old take on some of the world’s best men’s players.

Searle’s wildcard entry follows a remarkable year highlighted by his Wimbledon Boys’ title win last year. Coached by Morgan Phillips, the Boys Head Coach at LUNTA, Searle is set to leverage this opportunity to gain invaluable experience and aim for a deep run in the competition.

Nathan Miller, Academy Manager at LUNTA, expressed his excitement: “We’re all thrilled that Henry has been selected to compete in the main Men’s draw at Wimbledon. Appearing at any major Grand Slam is a brilliant achievement, but this will undoubtedly feel extra special after last year’s success. I’ve no doubt that Henry and his wider support team will be looking forward to the challenge ahead and they’ll do themselves and Loughborough University proud.”

In addition to Searle, fellow LUNTA player Mika Stojsavljevic has also received a wildcard entry, this time for the Women’s qualifying rounds at Wimbledon. Her campaign will commence on Monday, June 24, where she will need three consecutive wins to progress to the main Women’s singles draw.
