Our track record of success is starting to build. Opening in 2019, LUNTA has taken on 20 elite British junior tennis players and delivered some fantastic results on and off the court. LUNTA players have achieved four U16s and four U18s singles National Championship titles in the five years since inception. We have supported players at the latter stages of Junior Grand Slams and for the first time since 1962, Henry Searle, one of our first players who began his LUNTA journey in 2019, played his way to the Wimbledon Boys Singles title in 2023.
