Isle of Thanet Gazette
|May 02, 2025
RISING tennis star Ruben Harris is dreaming of a place at the LA 2028 Paralympics after winning Junior Wheelchair Player of the Year at the prestigious LTA Tennis Awards, presented by Lexus,
The 17-year-old from Hersden claimed the accolade at the tenth anniversary of the awards which were held at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.
Harris experienced a stellar 2024 as he won the Roland Garros Junior Doubles final in Paris to clinch his maiden junior Grand Slam title.
"It is a great honour to win this. I know a couple of people who have won this before me and they have gone on to win countless tournaments. It’s a real privilege," said Harris.
"Winning Roland Garros doubles last year was definitely one of my career highlights. That feeling was just great to know that you have won it.
"I'm hoping to do the LA Paralympics in 2028 and compete in Slams, as well."
